- System Offset Notes
Systems should be sized to offset no more than the customer’s historical 12-month usage. If the customer has not acquired at least 12 months of past usage, or in cases where historical load cannot be determined due to extensive remodeling, the Load Justification Form must be submitted for systems 5 KW or greater. For systems without 12 months of historical data that are less than 5 KW, on-site electrical load may be determined using the calculation of 2 watts per square foot of the home.

Plans & docs
- SLD Reqs
Make sure the one-line diagram and equipment list identify the required manual disconnect equipment identified in Rule 21 (D) (1) (e). The manual disconnect must be located near but not inside your electric service panel. (Note: Use of any type of breaker switch in your electric panel for this purpose is not permitted.)
- Electric Service Reqs
**BVES will no longer allow customers to install their solar systems directly to a sub-panel, due to safety concerns and EUSERC requirements.**
**BVES Requires a Zero Export Device to be installed so the customer can stay on the grid and receive the benefits of their solar. **
- Install Reqs
- Placards
BVES _**requires**_ that the electric service panel, AC disconnect and DC disconnect (when applicable) be labeled with plaques that meet the following requirements:

* Cautionary language
**Electric Service Panel Requirements and Example:**
1. Diagram of the structure on which the generation device is located
2. Language denoting all electric power sources on or in the premises
3. See example: Service Panel Plaque (https://www.bves.com/media/managed/nem/ElectricServicePanelCropResize.jpg)
**AC Disconnect Requirements and Example:**
1. Nominal operating AC voltage
2. Nominal operating AC frequency
3. Maximum AC power
4. Maximum AC current
5. Maximum overcurrent device rating for AC module protection
6. See example: AC Disconnect (https://www.bves.com/media/managed/nem/ACDisconnectCropResize.jpg)
**DC Disconnect Requirements and Example:**
1. Open circuit voltage
2. Operating voltage
3. Maximum system voltage
4. Operating current
5. Short circuit current
6. Maximum power
7. See example: DC Disconnect (https://www.bves.com/media/managed/nem/DCDiconnectCropResize.jpg)
