GEFA is offering phase three of the Solar Resiliency program to increase resiliency for critical facilities in communities across Georgia. This program is offered to government entities, including cities, counties, K-12 schools, and state agencies.

Phase three will incentivize the installation of solar PV and backup batteries at critical facilities. GEFA will reimburse selected applicants for up to 85% of the balance of backup battery and solar PV costs, up to $200,000, for one installation per selected applicant. Applicants that already have solar PV installed onsite or who are entering into a third-party financing arrangement for solar (under HB 57, Solar Power Free-Market Financing Act of 2015), are eligible for reimbursement of 30% of backup battery system costs, up to $30,000.

GEFA will open a competitive application process. Applications will be evaluated based on their positive impact to the community's critical facility resilience. Disadvantaged communities will be given extra points in the scoring process, based on the community s median income, population growth, and unemployment rates. Each entity may only submit one application.

Please note: Applicants must be a Georgia city, county, registered local government authority, K-12 school, or state government entity. Only one study per community/applicant will be funded. The funding is provided by the U.S. DOE.

Critical facilities can vary from community to community, but often include transportation, water, energy, and communications. Examples include public safety buildings, water and wastewater facilities, IT/data centers, healthcare/public health facilities, emergency management offices, government facilities, transportation systems, shelters, and community hubs. The applicant must include a clear description of the facility, and state why it is critical to the community during an emergency.
Funding Details and Application
Please make sure to fill out all required (*) fields of the application, upload documents where required and when complete, click the SAVE button at the top of the screen. This will submit your application to GEFA. We will review completed applications until all funding has been expended. GEFA will utilize the below competitive scoring methodology. The scoring methodology is designed to prioritize communities with a greater need of assistance.
   
Demographics (AMI, Unemployment, Pop Change)    12

Maximum Total    23

The 12 points assigned to demographic and economic factors are based on 2018 census numbers and the 2019 Georgia Affordability Assessment Tool. Communities that score an 8 or greater on demographic and economic factors will be reimbursed at 85% of solar PV and battery costs, up to $200,000. Communities that score a 7 or lower on demographic and economic factors will be reimbursed at 75%, up to 200,000. Battery only projects will be reimbursed at 30%, up to $30,000.

GEFA funding will not cover any costs to upgrade building electrical infrastructure. Allowable equipment for reimbursement includes:
o    Solar PV panels
o    Battery
o    Inverter
o    Racking systems
o    Isolation switch
o    Design and engineering

If GEFA does not receive enough qualified applications by the deadline, GEFA will make a decision to either extend the deadline or move to a first-come, first-served process.

Selected applicants will be reimbursed after the installation is complete. All applicants must complete installation and invoice GEFA by September 30, 2022. GEFA will not reimburse for installations that are in process prior to selection.

If you have any questions about the program or about this form, please contact Kelly Cutts at 404-584-1089.

Can I annotate fields to indicate their intended use?

Yes. You can provide "Help" to your users for any field:

1. On any page in your application, click "Customize" then "Fields". If it is a multi-table application, select the table.

2. Click the "Edit" button next to the field for which you want to add an annotation.

3. In the "Help" text input box, enter text that will assist your users, and click "Save".

Your text will appear when the user hovers over or clicks on the question mark icon next to that field on the Add Record and Edit Record pages.

    When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

    • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
    • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
