What does this mean for me?

PG&E will not allow for 'double dipping' – paying a rebate twice for the same piece of equipment.  In order to secure a downstream rebate for your customers upon a qualifying installation, you need to first ensure that no midstream rebate was awarded for that piece of equipment further up the supply chain. If it was, the downstream rebate application will be denied once the unit’s serial number is run through the system.

How can I avoid this scenario?

If you purchase any of the above mentioned equipment from a participating distributor, you need to inform them it's for a project for which you are pursuing a PG&E downstream rebate on behalf of your customer. Otherwise, the distributor will submit for the midstream rebate and their invoice will reflect that the purchase does not qualify for a downstream rebate. The list of participating distributors is below. Even if you don’t see your distributor, you may still want to enquire whether they participate in the program in case they are a recent enrollee.
