Updated Notice to Proceed (NTP)
Timeline for Contractors
The 7-Stage NTP Process
Under updated CFR Ability-to-Repay requirements, Official NTP is issued only after all seven compliance stages are complete. Do not schedule or begin any work until Stage 7 is confirmed.
What Is Changing
Ygrene has updated the NTP process to comply with new federal CFR Ability-to-Repay requirements. The updated timeline adds a mandatory Notice to Lender (NTL) review window, a required District Signature step, and a Final Universal Rescission Period that applies to all homeowners without exception.
Why This Matters for Contractors
⚠️ Cancellation Risk
Homeowners retain the legal right to cancel during rescission periods. Work started before NTP may go unpaid if the homeowner cancels.
📅 Planning Window
Minimum 12–15 business days from application to NTP under normal conditions. Factor this into all scheduling and homeowner communication.
⚡ Quick-Turn Projects
HVAC and fast-install projects must introduce Ygrene financing early. Late introduction means a longer compliance wait before work can legally begin.
💰 Funding Eligibility
Payment requests can only be submitted after Official NTP is triggered. No NTP means no funding — no exceptions.
The Golden Rule
Never promise a homeowner a start date before Official NTP is confirmed in the Ygrene portal. The NTP is not a formality — it is a legal authorization. Stage 7 must be complete before any work begins.
At the very first homeowner meeting — not the day of installation.
Delays in the Welcome Call delay the entire NTP clock.
Watch for lender review updates and district signature confirmation.
Tell homeowners the full timeline before they sign. Surprises cause cancellations.
