Part III – Interconnection Guidelines and Document Information

Note: Applications to interconnect systems located in San Francisco or Oakland may require additional analysis to determine whether or not their proposed installation is on PG&E’s networked secondary system. Networked secondary systems are in place to provide heightened levels of reliability in densely populated areas and may affect the ability of PG&E to interconnect NEM customers. Please contact Electric Generation Interconnection department at 415-972-5676 or email gen@pge.com if the proposed installation is in San Francisco where the zip code is 94102, 94103, 94104, 94105, 94107, 94108, 94109, 94111 or 94133 or in Oakland where the zip code is 94607 or 94612.

A.Documents

In addition to this NEM Interconnection Application, the documents listed below are needed to ensure safe and reliable operation of PG&E’s Distribution System and to confirm that Customer’s interconnection has been performed in accordance with PG&E’s tariffs. Additional forms are available on PG&E’s website at www.pge.com/standardnem.

Required Documents

Net Energy Metering (NEM) Interconnection Agreement for Solar and/or Wind Electric Generating Facilities of 30 Kilowatts or Less and Customer Authorization Form 79-1151A.

Copy of the final, signed, jurisdiction approval (building permit) for Customer’s Generating Facility.

Additional Documents (if applicable)

Variance Request (if project deviates from requirements in Part II Section A).

Part III – Interconnection Guidelines and Document Information – Continued

B.Variance Request (if applicable)

The Customer or the Customer’s Contractor can request a Variance Request review from PG&E if the project is unable to meet the requirements described in the Distribution Interconnection Handbook and Greenbook, available at www.pge.com/dih and www.pge.com/greenbook. The Variance Request must be submitted with the Interconnection Application and include the following.

1.Description of the proposal for which the Customer is requesting approval.

2.Customer name and project address.

3.Copy of the Custom Single Line Diagram or electrical drawings (Include the equipment, location, and/or distances for the proposed work).

4.Color photos of the Customer’s area or section for the proposed work.

5.Manufacturer specification drawings for unapproved equipment that the Customer is requesting an approval.

C.AC Disconnect Switch Guidelines

PG&E recommends that customers installing an inverter-based generator consider also installing an AC Disconnect Switch to facilitate maintenance of the Customer’s equipment (i.e. inverter, PV arrays, etc.). The AC Disconnect Switch provides the additional benefit of allowing PG&E to isolate the Customer’s generator from the utility’s Distribution System without having to interrupt service to the customer’s facility or residence.

Customers are not required to include an AC Disconnect Switch when the facility has a single-phase self-contained electric revenue meter (i.e. 0-320 amp panel). However, if the Customer does not install an AC Disconnect Switch, the revenue meter may be temporarily removed by PG&E due to an emergency or maintenance on PG&E’s system to isolate the Customer’s generator from the electric distribution system. Removal of the revenue meter will result in loss of electrical service to the Customer’s facility or residence.

An AC Disconnect Switch is required for a Customer with:

Inverter-based interconnections having a three-phase self-contained meter or a transformer-rated meter (i.e. all meter panels or switchboards employing the use of potential and current transformers).

Non-inverter based generators, including rotating or machine-based generators - irrespective of whether the service meter configuration is transformer-rated or self-contained.

Inverter and non-inverter based generators that do not have overcurrent protection at the point of interconnection.

D.Custom Single-line Diagram (SLD) (if applicable)

The Custom SLD must include the information below for identified equipment.

1. Manufacturer, model number, nameplate rating, quantity:

a)Inverter(s), PV or wind turbine generators, AC Disconnect Switch, generation output meter and

instrument transformers.

2.Electrical rating and operating voltages:

a)Service panel, circuit breaker, and other Generating Facility protective devices

3.Location of:

a)Customer’s loads relative to the Generating Facility, and the interconnection with PG&E’s Distribution System.

b)AC Disconnect Switch.

4.Description of how the power output from the inverter is connected to the main service panel via a branch breaker. The ampere rating of this branch breaker and the main service panel breaker must be compatible with the output rating of the Generating Facility. The output rating is based on the total nameplate rating of the inverter.
