If you ask Lightshed to complete a REAP application package, all we ask of you is to upload a few required documents through our simple drag-and-drop portal. This takes most prepared applicants 10-20 minutes.
From there, you can expect 1-3 weeks until it’s time for you to review and e-sign the finished application (3-5 weeks for large jobs). Then we ensure your application is successfully submitted to USDA.
Our REAP Grant Writing Process
Simple. Fast. Accurate.

Documents Needed
This is not an exhaustive list, but it covers most scenarios. The complete list of requirements for your specific project will be given to you in your upload portal.
The applicant business and their energy installer will each have a separate upload portal. (An applicant’s sensitive business information will not be shared with their installer.)
