What is the Expected Performance-Based Incentive (EPBI) and how is it calculated?
A. The EPBI is the method used to calculate the incentive. The EPBI calculation accounts for specific performance characteristics, including when the power is produced, detailed module and inverter efficiencies, a default estimate of expected system power losses, module orientation, tilt and mounting type, shading, and geographic location. The EPBI payment is determined through the use of the Energy Commission’s PV Calculator.
