Exceptional Product <strong>Program</strong><br />
Construction professionals, homeowners, and business owners like you can earn<br />
a financial incentive for purchasing new propane-fueled products for your home<br />
or business. The <strong>Propane</strong> <strong>Education</strong> & <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Council</strong> (PERC) is sponsoring<br />
the <strong>Propane</strong> Exceptional Product program to introduce new propane-fueled<br />
equipment to the residential and commercial market while collecting valuable<br />
feedback on the performance of the equipment in real-world settings.<br />
The <strong>Propane</strong> Exceptional Product program provides a financial incentive to<br />
qualifying and selected participants who purchase propane-fueled premium<br />
generator sets or combined heat and power systems. Learn more<br />
To apply, visit www.propaneexceptionalproduct.com.
Meet the products<br />
The <strong>Propane</strong> Exceptional Product program features two types of propanefueled<br />
equipment. For a list of eligible products, download the program<br />
guidelines at www.propaneexceptionalproduct.com.<br />
Premium generator sets are designed to supplement renewable energy power<br />
generation and other off-grid applications. Energy-efficient propane generator<br />
sets can be easily combined with solar, wind, or other renewable energy<br />
resources to create reliable, environmentally friendly hybrid energy systems<br />
for residential and commercial applications. Units can also be used to charge<br />
batteries for off-grid systems, such as telecommunications towers.<br />
Combined heat and power (CHP) systems generate a portion of a home or<br />
building’s total heating and electricity needs. The systems recover waste heat<br />
from the electricity generator’s engine and use it for space and water heating,<br />
increasing energy efficiency and lowering costs and emissions compared with<br />
traditional power generation and heating technologies.<br />
What do I provide<br />
• Application for preapproval.<br />
• Proof of purchase.<br />
• Pre- and post-demonstration surveys about the use of the equipment.<br />
• Access to the site for photos and videos of the equipment (if requested).<br />
Incentives<br />
<strong>Propane</strong> Exceptional Product program participants are paid a portion of the<br />
incentive after they have purchased the equipment and supply PERC with proof<br />
of payment (e.g., receipt). The remaining portion of the incentive will be paid<br />
directly to the homeowner or business upon receipt of the post-season survey.<br />
• Premium generator set: $1,000.<br />
• CHP system of less than 6 kilowatts: $5,000.<br />
• CHP system of more than 6 kilowatts: $10,000.<br />
