EC-021 Shared/3rd Party Arrangements

It is acceptable to place PV panels on the rooftops or other areas of adjacent properties and use the energy generated from these adjacent off-site sources to power the facility. Resources may only be attributed to one facility; they cannot be “double counted.” The manufacturer must provide technical documents showing the facility contributed financially to the development of the renewable system, such as:

• Proof of purchase and maintenance agreements; or
• Third-party agreements to acquire the equipment and manage ongoing maintenance. The team must also submeter and track energy to show that the energy required for the facility is covered by the system, and attributed to only the facility.
