ERRATA CORRIGE:

1. Guidelines Section 4, Eligible costs, paragraph 2. The sentence " For this reason we will not process applications where the inverter nominal power is between 0.8 and 1.2 times the array nominal power." shall be replaced with "For this reason we will only process applications where the inverter nominal power is between 0.8 and 1.2 times the array nominal power."

Extension:

An extension of two months for submission of Part B's following the commissioning of PV systems is being permitted.

Notification

The MRA notification form has to be submitted before the installation of the PV system. When the installation of the PV system has been completed, the Applicant should fill in Part B of the request for reimbursement form including all required documentation. The request for reimbursement form must reach the MRA within the date indicated on the grant offer letter.

Internet banking

The EU Funds Management Unit has decided that e-banking documents shall, as from the 25 May 2011, no longer need to be authenticated by the bank or financial provider. This means that payment documents issued from internet banking systems will be accepted as proof of payment.

However, it must be pointed out that the EU Funds Management Unit reserves the right to decline banking documents that are not sufficient or to the desired standard and request additional evidence of payment prior to the settlement of claims. For the avoidance of any doubt ‘print screen’ images and/or payment transactions still not confirmed as paid will NOT be accepted as evidence of payment.

Moreover, banking transactions are not an alternative to fiscal receipts, particularly when fiscal receipts are required by law.
