### Lunar’s tips for incentive applications

##### **Apply early**  
Rebates are typically offered on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to available funding. Submit your incentive application for the Lunar System as early as you can before funds run out.

##### **Check eligibility**  
Eligibility varies by program, with requirements tied to factors such as location, utility rate, or income—especially for higher-value incentives. Review program guidelines carefully and contact your installer and the program administrator for clarification.

##### **Own your system**  
Leasing or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) often disqualifies you from claiming incentives, as the system is owned by a third party. To access rebates, consider purchasing your Lunar System upfront or with a loan. The Lunar System is qualified for various financing options to support your system ownership.

##### **Choose a trusted Lunar installer**  
An experienced installer can guide you through the incentive application process. [Contact Lunar](/content/getlunar/index.html) to connect with a certified installer in your area.
