Solar Interconnect

Solar energy is increasingly becoming a crucial part of the power grid, but without proper safety measures in place, this technology could pose a threat to the grid’s stability. Solar interconnection agreements are legal contracts between a utility and its customers that allow for the safe and secure integration of solar power into the grid without compromising existing infrastructure. At SCS Transmission Services, we understand how important it is to have a reliable interconnection process in place. That’s why our team of highly trained professionals is here to help you navigate the complexities of solar interconnects. We offer a range of services to ensure a smooth interconnection process for both utility providers and their customers. Our knowledgeable staff is well-versed in all aspects of interconnection, from inspecting solar systems to upgrading the grid for compatibility.

What is Solar Interconnection?

Solar interconnection is the process by which solar electric systems are connected to the larger power grid. Through this system, new energy sources can communicate with the existing power grid to ensure smooth integration. This process is crucial to the safety and effectiveness of the power grid, as it allows for the flow of energy to be monitored and controlled. Ensuring that electrical safety standards are met is a crucial part of the solar interconnection process. Net metering guidelines must also be followed to ensure that energy production is credited properly.

Solar Interconnection Agreements

A solar interconnection agreement outlines the details of the interconnection process. These agreements are vital to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the power grid. Components of a solar interconnection agreement typically include technical requirements, insurance and liability provisions, and an outline of how energy production will be monitored and credited. As part of the solar interconnection agreement process, an inspection is conducted to ensure that all equipment is compatible with the power grid. This step is crucial to ensuring that the solar electric system can safely integrate with the larger grid. Examples of equipment compatibility issues include mismatched voltage levels and improperly sized equipment. By verifying equipment compatibility, potential problems can be addressed and solutions can be put in place before the system is connected to the grid.

Professional and Reliable

Solar interconnection can often be a long and complex process, which is why it’s important to have a knowledgeable team representing your interests. Our team has the expertise to assess both residential and commercial solar systems, as well as solar farms and larger-scale solar projects. We are dedicated to ensuring that the solar interconnection process is completed quickly and efficiently, with the utmost attention to detail to ensure all solar systems meet regulatory standards.
