• REAP is back in 2027, with many details still TBD. If you'd like to get a quote for a spot in our REAP grant writing pipeline, please share some basic details about the project. The end of the form will have an area where you can make any notes for clarification., or share the files needed to show your project is "ready to go."

    This form assumes you have confirmed your project's eligibility. (If you're unsure, you can confirm eligibility here.) 

  • Are you the REAP Applicant Company or the Energy Installer/Developer?*
  • Who will ultimately contract with Lightshed for the grant writing?*
  • Would you like to see and approve the quote figures first over email before it is sent to the Applicant?*
  • Would you like to be considered for a "Ready-to-Go" pricing slot?*

  • READY-TO-GO PROJECTS

    We love working with projects that are ready to go! We can offer lower fees to a select number of projects per quarter where you can prove that essential "ready-to-go" files are already available by sharing a Google Drive/Dropbox folder link with alex@lightshed.us, with files organized and clearly labeled as follows:

    1. Utility bills (12 PDF files, one per month of actual historical bills.)
      Filenames: "Barn 2024-11.pdf" etc.   

    2. Matching funds (loan letter or bank statement proving 50% of project costs in the name of the applicant company)
      Filename: "Matching Funds - Bank Statement.pdf" etc.

    3. Installer Proposal (which shows total project costs and overhead map with trench lines)
      Filename: "Installer Proposal.pdf" etc.

    4. Energy Generation Report (PVWatts, Helioscope, etc.)
      Filename: "Energy Generation Report.pdf" etc.

    5. Overhead Map (which shows PV system and all trench lines clearly)
      Filename: "Overhead Map.pdf"

     

    This is for straightforward solar PV projects (single site, 1-to-2-meters, non-residential, first time applicants, where the files are all listing the applicant company's legal name). If these files cannot all be provided, completely, there is no need to share a link. Any links to incomplete folders will not be offered a Ready-to-Go slot. Thank you! 

  • **Please remember to actually click the "Share" button inside that folder in your Google/Dropbox and add alex@lightshed.us as a user with permissions to the folder.**

  • Approximate (or exact) date that system was installed.
     - -
    2 digit month, 2 digit day, 4 digit year
  • Is this the Applicant's first time applying to REAP?*
  • Will the system be connected to a meter that's shared with a residential space?*

  • Note on Residential Involvement:

    If the residential space is on its own separate meter, simply say "No" above and understand that only those systems on non-residential meters will be eligible for the grant. If the residential space is truly sharing a meter with the business applying for a grant, keep your "Yes" answer above and proceed.

  • Would a follow-up assessment show >50% of the meter usage is going to the business?*
  • Do you have 12 consecutive months of actual usage history?*

  • If the business shares a meter with a residence AND the residential energy use is greater than 50% of the meter's total usage, OR if that shared meter has less than 12 months of history, a 2nd meter must be planned in order to be eligible.

  • Is the Applicant prepared to install a second meter that is dedicated only to the business usage?*

  • Based on this response, it appears your project is not eligible. Please connect with your State Energy Coordinator if you want to be sure, or have a more nuanced situation you need more clarity about. If they can provide email confirmation of your eligibility, please forward that confirmation directly to us at info@lightshed.us and proceed with this quote request.

  • Note on Multiple Sites/Addresses:

    If a single legal entity (and its affiliates) will own multiple energy systems planned for multiple project addresses, they can apply for only one REAP grant per year. (One project at one location.)

  • How much would you like to request?*
  • HIDDEN (Troubleshooting form—do not answer!) Limit Request Yes No

  • Good news!

    Through a partnership with USDA in your state, we can offer FREE grant writing for such a project under $200,000, assuming it is straightforward solar PV.
