Application Optimization: Identify any formatting issues, calculation gaps, or missing documentation (spec sheets, measure types) to avoid utility rejection and secure approval.
Collaborative Review: Meet with our project team (in-person locally in Bergen County or via Zoom/Teams) to walk through the workbook adjustments.
Qualifications
Proven PSE&G Experience: Direct experience processing, reviewing, or submitting applications for the PSE&G Direct Install (DI), Prescriptive, or Small Business Energy Saver programs.

Strong Communication: Ability to clearly explain utility submission bottlenecks and guide contractors on required documentation.

Highly Flexible: We are open to a flat project-based fee (one-time) or an hourly rate, completely open to negotiation based on your expertise.
