3	Site Visit If the site passes, then the contractor will complete and sign a project completion form, indicating that all work has been completed.
4	Receive Rebate PSEG Long Island will issue the incentive after all the documents are submitted. It may take 4-6 weeks to process and disburse the incentive.
