Connecting your solar system to the utility

Utility connection is a separate workstream within a solar project. Your distributor needs to assess the proposed connection, and its requirements should be reflected in the design and schedule.

Confirm the application process before committing to an installation date. Ask who submits technical information, tracks the application, coordinates meter changes where needed and confirms permission to operate.
