One of the provisions in virtually every energy rebate that is good for the trade is that they won't pay up unless you get the work done by licensed people installing certified systems.
From an innovation standpoint that is bad but for protecting the trades it is good.
I know the hybrid system I would like to build is not eligible for any rebates (I want some storage) so I would have to buy a package and alter it after it was installed. I would rather not do that.
