MessageTump, I have not done it. But I attended the first of their two mandatory informational sessions last year here in Vermont. I also know of a couple of parties that did indeed go through with ALL of the paper work, jump through the hoops and get the grant. They said it was worth it for them, about 40 hours in all, for the time they had to dedicate to the process.
I sent a local farmer interested in a PV system to the USDA info session, they thought about it and declined to enter the process. They felt it was too invasive (the info the USDA wanted) and the amount of paper work was daunting . So it's not for everyone.
