(a) The utility subject to section 116C.779 shall operate a program to provide solar energy production incentives for solar energy systems of no more than a total aggregate nameplate capacity of 40 kilowatts alternating current per premise. The owner of a solar energy system installed before June 1, 2018, is eligible to receive a production incentive under this section for any additional solar energy systems constructed at the same customer location, provided that the aggregate capacity of all systems at the customer location does not exceed 40 kilowatts.

allocated in each of the first four years, $15,000,000 in the fifth year,
$10,000,000 in each of the sixth and seventh years, and $5,000,000 in the
eighth year from funds is funded by money withheld from transfer to
the renewable development account under section 116C.779, subdivision 1,
paragraphs (b) and (e), and. Program
funds must be placed in a separate account for the purpose of the solar energy
production incentive program operated by the utility and not for any other
