Deposits.

(1) Escrow or trust account. Community solar companies that collect deposits from customers, project participants, or applicants must maintain an escrow or trust account where the company will hold the deposits it collects.
(2) Interest on deposits. Community solar companies that collect deposits from customers, project participants, or applicants must pay interest on those deposits from the date the company collects the deposit to the date the company refunds or applies the deposit directly to the customer, project participant, or applicant's account. For each calendar year, the company will pay interest at the rate for the one-year Treasury Constant Maturity calculated by the U.S. Treasury, as published in the Federal Reserve's Statistical Release H.15 on January 15th of that year, or if January 15th is not a business day, the rate posted on the following business day.

(b) The participant terminates his or her participation in the community solar project; or
(c) The company terminates the participant's participation; or
(d) The community solar project ceases operation.
