Upon receipt of installation approval, share this update with your vendor or installer for smooth implementation.

Once the generator is installed, return to the Documentation Upload Portal to submit documentation of installation and the Certificate of Completion signed by the local municipal writing inspector.

Upon receipt of the signed Certificate of Completion, Unitil will notify you of any additional certification documents or witness test requirements. Once these are met, Unitil will install the appropriate meter(s) and notify you with approval to use your new generating system.

Use this approval to qualify for state and federal rebates to fully receive the benefits of renewable energy generation. Your monthly bill will include an “Other Credits” line item if the system produced more electricity than was used during that billing period. If the system did not generate excess energy beyond monthly consumption, your bill will not include this line item.
