Plans & docs

Site Plan Reqs

The site diagram or location plan that identifies the location of the equipment noted on the one-line diagram must provide the following information. If required, multiple drawings may be provided to reduce overall clutter and improve the ability to read the information.

• Name of the Customer located at the electrical service where the DER is proposed to interconnect
• Address of the proposed DER installation
• Installer name and contact information
• The site diagram must show at least one street on the drawing, with the street named
• Compass direction (indicate North)
• Distances between the Main Meter and the Production Meter and Utility AC Disconnect
• Location of DER equipment
• AC kW Rating

SLD Reqs

The one-line diagram shall include:

• Applicant name.
• Application ID.
• Installer name and contact information.
• Address where DER system will be installed - must match application address.
• Be sure to list the address for the protective interface equipment if the protective interface equipment is located at a different address than the DER system.
• Correct positions of all equipment, including but not limited to panels, inverter, and DC/AC disconnect. Include distances between equipment, and any labeling found on equipment.

IEEE 1547

Install Reqs

Follow standardized MN installation requirements for both the AC Disconnect and Production Meter

AC Disconnect

• The Utility AC Disconnect must meet the following requirements:
• The Utility AC Disconnect must be located within 10 feet of the utility revenue (service) meter
• Manually operated: Able to be operated by one person and designed so that the operator is not exposed to energized components.
• Gang-operated: One switch handle opens and closes all energized conductors simultaneously.
• Neutral conductor may not be interrupted.
• Lockable in the open (off) position with Local Utility padlocks.
• Readily accessible to utility personnel 24/7.
• Provides a visible verification that an air-gap separation exists between the blades and points of contact when open.
• Rated and listed for the application.
• AC-rated device, located on the AC output/utility side of any DER.
• No tools required to loosen or remove hardware or fasteners.

Placards

All signage and labeling must meet the applicable NEC requirements. In order to provide a safe operating environment for Local Utility personnel, additional labeling and signage requirements must be met.

 Utility AC Disconnect

• The Utility AC Disconnect must be labeled as “DER Utility AC DISCONNECT”.
• If a single Utility AC Disconnect cannot be used to disconnect all DERs, all Utility AC Disconnects should include numerical identification such as “DER Utility AC DISCONNECT 1 of 2” or similar. The number of disconnects required to be operated to completely isolate the DER(s) from the utility should be clear.

Main Meter

• A sign at the main service entrance meter must indicate that the location contains DER(s). Each type of DER present must be listed (i.e. PV, Wind, ESS, Gas Generator). The sign must provide clear direction to the distance and location of all Utility AC Disconnects. The preferred sign must be a site map of the area with an X for the main service entrance meter location and an O for the Utility AC Disconnect location. A map must include outline of all structures in the area and compass arrow for orientation.

Production Meter

• The production meter must be labeled as “Production Meter”. In cases where multiple production meters exist on the load side of the main meter, each production meter must be labeled as such to identify which DER unit is being metered.
