Rebate Programs That Scale with Your Portfolio
Utilities run dozens of rebate programs simultaneously — residential HVAC, commercial lighting, appliance recycling, weatherization, EV chargers, and more. Each has different eligibility rules, rebate amounts, qualified product lists, and reporting requirements.
Managing these programs with spreadsheets or outdated software creates backlogs, errors, and participant frustration. Customers wait weeks for rebate decisions. Staff spend hours on manual data entry. Regulatory reports require days of data assembly.
Incentit provides a centralized platform purpose-built for utility rebate management. Configure unlimited concurrent programs with no-code rules. Process applications through automated workflows. Generate regulatory reports with one click. Support multi-sponsor braided rebates where G&T cooperatives, municipal utilities, and state energy offices each contribute their portion.
Whether you're an investor-owned utility, electric cooperative, municipal utility, or state energy office, our platform handles the full lifecycle from application intake through payment and annual reporting.
Utility Rebate Program Types We Support
Prescriptive Rebates
Fixed-amount rebates for qualifying measures — heat pumps, water heaters, insulation, smart thermostats. Pre-approved amounts by measure and tier.
Custom/Calculated Rebates
Formula-driven rebates based on kWh savings, equipment capacity, efficiency ratings, or project-specific engineering calculations.
Midstream/Instant Discount
Rebate applied at point of sale by the contractor or retailer. Distributor shipment data validates eligibility. Contractor submits for reimbursement.
Braided/Stacked Rebates
Multiple sponsors contributing to a single rebate — G&T + distribution cooperative, state energy office + local utility. Each defines their own amount.
Contractor Spiffs
Bonus payments to trade allies for promoting high-efficiency equipment. Paired with customer rebates on the same installation event.
Income-Qualified Programs
Enhanced rebates for low-to-moderate income customers including IRA Home Energy Rebates (HOMES and HEAR programs).
Platform Capabilities for Utilities
Qualified Product Lists (QPL)
Maintain approved equipment lists by program. Validate applications against AHRI, ENERGY STAR, or custom product databases. Auto-reject ineligible equipment.
Service Territory Validation
Verify applicant addresses are within your service territory before accepting applications. Prevent out-of-territory claims from consuming program budget.

Each participating utility defines their own rebate amounts within a shared program structure. Centralized administration with autonomous participant decisions.

Generate program activity reports with energy savings (kWh, therms, kW), participation counts, budget utilization, and measure-level detail for regulatory filings.
Payment Integration
API feed to payment providers for check, ACH, bill credit, prepaid card, or Zelle disbursement. Batch processing on your schedule with full reconciliation.
