Introduction
Upgrading to high-efficiency LED grow lighting can dramatically lower your energy costs, improve crop yields, and qualify you for substantial utility rebates. LED Grow Light Funding was created to make that process faster, simpler, and more affordable.
Whether you operate a large commercial greenhouse or are launching a Minnesota Craft Grow facility, our programme helps you acquire top-tier, DLC-listed fixtures without large upfront costs—while ensuring you collect every dollar of available rebate funding.
We coordinate directly with your chosen utility, such as Xcel Energy MN, and verify compliance with DesignLights Consortium standards so you can maximise incentives and operational efficiency.
Step 1: Eligibility & Consultation
We begin with a free consultation to confirm your funding eligibility. This includes:
– Verifying your utility provider’s rebate program details
– Checking that your target fixtures meet DLC horticultural lighting requirements
– Reviewing your cultivation footprint, fixture count, and target installation date
For Minnesota growers, we align the application process with Xcel Energy MN rebate timelines to prevent delays.
Step 2: Fixture Selection & Pricing Lock
Once eligibility is confirmed, we help you select the optimal LED grow lights for your facility. Benefits include:
– Locking in manufacturer pricing before market changes
– Ensuring all SKUs are rebate-eligible
– Matching light output (PPE), spectrum, and mounting style to your crop type and facility design
Our manufacturer-direct relationships mean you get competitive pricing without hidden markups.
Step 3: Order & Logistics
After fixture selection, we:
– Issue the purchase order to the manufacturer
– Coordinate lead times, freight, and delivery schedules
– Manage deposit requirements (which vary by project)
This ensures your lighting arrives exactly when your electricians and installation team are ready—avoiding costly downtime.
Step 4: Installation & Commissioning
You choose your own licensed electrician or general contractor to complete the installation. Our role is to:
– Provide fixture documentation and mounting instructions
– Offer remote commissioning support to verify performance and settings
– Ensure compliance with rebate inspection requirements
Step 5: Rebate Processing
We prepare and submit your complete rebate application package, including:
– Utility forms
– Fixture specifications and DLC listings
– Proof of installation and commissioning reports
Important: Most utilities, including Xcel Energy MN, pay rebates after installation is complete and documentation is approved. This payment window can take up to 60 days, so we align your financing terms accordingly.
Step 6: Deferred Payments Begin
Once your lights are installed and operational:
– Your deferred payment schedule begins, indexed to the Federal Funds Rate for stability
– Utility rebates are paid directly to you by the utility, not to us
– You enjoy immediate energy savings and higher yields while spreading payments over time
Why Work With Us
– No middleman markups – direct manufacturer pricing
– Expert rebate navigation – we handle the paperwork and approvals
– Flexible payment terms – designed for agricultural cash flow cycles
– Vendor-neutral advice – fixture selection is based on performance, not commissions
