(a) The utility shall provide to the applicant notice of the approval and the amount of incentive for which the solar energy system is eligible; and
(b) The applicant may install and energize the solar energy system.
4.

6. The amount and type of the incentive for which an applicant is eligible must be determined on the date on which the applicant is selected for participation in the Solar Program, except that an applicant forfeits eligibility for that amount of incentive if the applicant withdraws from participation in the Solar Program or does not complete the installation of the solar energy system within 12 months after the date on which the applicant is selected for participation in the Solar Program.
