(c) The system is located in Oregon; and
(d) The system complies with the standards or rules adopted by the Director of the State Department of Energy.
(2) An application for a grant under ORS 469B.256 shall be made in writing on a form prepared by the department and shall contain:
(a) A detailed description of the system and its operation and information showing that the system will operate as represented in the application and remain in operation for at least five years, unless the director by rule specifies another period of operation.
(b) The anticipated total system cost.
(c) Information on the number and type of jobs, directly connected to the awarding of the grant, that will be:
(A) Created by the system; and
(B) Sustained throughout the construction, installation and operation of the system.

(e) Any other information the director considers necessary to determine whether the system is in accordance with the provisions of ORS 469B.250 to 469B.265, and any applicable rules or standards adopted by the director.
(3) An application for a grant shall be accompanied by a fee established under ORS 469B.259. The director may refund all or a portion of the fee if the application for a grant is rejected.
(4) The director may allow an applicant to file the application for a grant after the start of installation or construction of the system if the director finds that:
