Services / Utility interconnection and net metering applications
Utility interconnection application
We fill out and file the utility interconnection (and net metering / export) application for solar, battery and generator jobs, using your plan set, then track it until the utility gives permission to operate. Utility fees are billed back at cost.
For: Solar and battery installers, electricians adding storage or generators. US, Canada, Australia and UK.
