WattShed Stack
Live, self-serveEvery funding source, one project, no double dipping.
Stack answers the question that now shadows every rebate project drawing on more than one pot of money: what can this project actually combine, and where is the line. The administrator defines each source as it really is (a flat rebate, a percent with a cap), the exclusion rules between programs, and any per-project ceiling. Stack evaluates every allowed combination and returns the best one, with each clipped amount and each exclusion explained rather than implied. Every rule is the administrator's own; WattShed ships no incentive database.
What it does.
Evaluates every allowed combination of the defined sources and returns the one worth the most to the project.
Applies caps deterministically and shows what clipped each amount: a source cap, the project cap, or project cost itself.
Explains every exclusion in plain language, naming the rule that fired.
Flags combinations worth a second look, like two federal sources stacking on one project.
Runs in the browser on rules you enter. No incentive database, nothing stored.
Who it is for.
Utilities and public program administrators
Codify the stacking rules once and answer every project the same way, before a duplicate claim reaches an auditor.
Funders co-funding with public programs
See how a private rebate interacts with the public incentives a household can already claim.
Contractors quoting projects
Quote what a project can actually combine instead of promising incentives that exclude each other.
How it works.
Define the sources
Each funding source as it really is: flat or percent, caps, and the exclusions between programs.
Enter the project
One eligible project cost. Stack evaluates every allowed combination of the sources you defined.
Read the result
The best allowed combination, what was clipped and by which rule, and what was excluded and why.

Availability.
The stacking check is live today as a public self-serve tool, no account required, nothing stored. Enforcing stacking rules inside a live program's intake and payment flow is arranged with WattShed directly.
