Onsite Energy TAP
For onsite energy projects at U.S. facilities

Onsite Energy TAP - Smart Policy and Incentive Opportunity Analyzer

Find the energy policies and incentives that apply to a specific facility

Onsite Energy TAP takes a street address, the facility's NAICS industry code, and the technology you are considering — solar PV, battery storage, CHP, biomass and more — and researches the net metering, interconnection, and renewable portfolio rules, plus the federal, state, and utility incentives, that apply at that exact location.

  • Policy research

    Serving utility, net metering, interconnection, renewable portfolio standards, and state programs.

  • Incentives

    Federal tax credits and grants, state programs, and utility rebates, with priority incentives and a stacking strategy.

  • Next steps

    Actions in priority order, with who to contact.

  • Data quality notes

How it works

Three agents run in sequence, each building on the last. A full analysis usually takes a few minutes, and results are saved so you can come back to them.

  1. 1. Locate

    The U.S. Census Bureau geocoder confirms the address and finds its county, town, census tract, and urban area, then loads the state's regulators, utilities, and grid operator.

  2. 2. Research policy

    An AI policy agent identifies the serving utility and summarizes net metering, interconnection, renewable portfolio standards, and state programs, checking trust-ranked sources first.

  3. 3. Find incentives

    AI incentive agents research federal, state, and utility programs separately, then combine them into one prioritized report with a stacking strategy and next steps.

Built for research you can check

Onsite Energy TAP shows where each finding came from and how much to trust it, so you know what to verify before making investment decisions.

Nationwide coverage

Analyze facilities in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Each state has a profile of its regulator, energy office, efficiency program, grid operator, and utilities — 6 of 51 verified by an administrator so far, with the rest clearly flagged.

Trust-ranked sources

The agents check 172 curated sources first, ranked from primary regulators down to reference sites. Every finding carries a confidence rating, and source links are checked weekly.

Optional live web search

Let the research agents look up current program pages, dockets, and announcements. The estimated extra cost is shown before you run the analysis.

Shareable reports

Download each report as a formatted PDF or as Markdown, and tag analyses with an optional TAP Specific ID for tracking.

Transparent AI cost

Every analysis records its runtime, AI token usage, and estimated cost, so you can see what each report cost to produce.

Curated by your team

Administrators manage the research sources, state policy notes, and state profiles the agents rely on — no code changes needed.

A starting point, not the final word
Findings are AI-generated research. Incentive programs change often, so confirm program status with the agency or utility, and consult a tax advisor on federal credits, before making investment decisions.
