Nice. Still no response here. I applied when it reopened as well.

They did my site walk last week. Took 10 minutes. They needed to see the breaker box, my current EV charger and power meter. They said the next part is with the other partners (sunrun, eversource, MassCEC). Hopefully get it installed in the next 3 months.

There's been a few developments in the program over the last few months.
Due to the ineptitude of NGRID, they are claiming that houses with existing behind-the-meter PV systems cannot participate in the program due to the intricacies of Net Metering. Their claim being, with the Net Meter in place, kWhs from the truck that push to the grid will be credited at the Net Metering rate back to your account, however there's no way to guarantee how those kWh were generated. Since Net Metering is designed to compensate solar generated kWh, facilities with existing PV could not participate.
I highlight the term ineptitude, because there's a VERY easy solution to this quandry; put a seperate meter on the EVSE! At the end of every billing period, subtract EVSE export kWh from the revenue meter export kWh.
Boom goes the dynamite. Problem solved. There's a conversation afoot at the statehouse about forcing the utilities to consider this, but it's moving slowly.
