Net Metering & Interconnection
Net Metering enables excess electricity generated by the member-owned generating system to be credited to the member’s bill at the same rate they are charged for electricity.
PenLight’s Net-Metering Interconnection Policy (PDF) requires that members submit the Interconnection Agreement and Application, a Solar One Line (PDF) and component cut-sheets before they connect their renewable generating system to the PenLight electrical distribution system. If the renewable generating system is larger than 100 kW or has battery backup, the application will be reviewed by our Operations Department, which may add additional time to the interconnection approval process. Once PenLight reviews and approves the Application, the member may proceed with the installation. Upon receiving the final L&I permit, PenLight will install the Net-meter and Production Meter so that the member-owned generating system is interconnected to the utility’s distribution system.
