Distributed Generation
Connect your project to the grid
Solar, battery storage, combined heat and power — before any distributed generation system can operate in parallel with the grid, it needs an approved interconnection application. Here is the path.
Before You Apply
Eligibility essentials
- Equipment certified to applicable interconnection standards
- A licensed installer or engineer of record for the project
- System size within the screening thresholds for your service type
- A one-line diagram and site plan ready to upload
Most residential solar projects qualify for expedited review and are typically approved in a matter of weeks when applications are complete.
- Submit the application online with system specs, diagrams, and site details.
- Technical review — we screen for grid impacts; larger systems may need a detailed study.
- Sign the agreement and pay any applicable fees identified in the review.
- Install, inspect, energize — after a passing inspection you receive permission to operate.
