System Offset Notes

Systems over 40 kW will have a 120% offset requirement

For interconnection of a proposed DER to a radial distribution circuit, the aggregated generation, including the proposed DER, on the circuit shall not exceed 15% of the line section annual peak load as most recently measured or 100% of the substation aggregated minimum load. A line section is that portion of an Area EPS Operator’s electric system connected to a customer bounded by automatic sectionalizing devices or the end of the distribution line. The Area EPS Operator may consider 100% of applicable loading (i.e. daytime minimum load for solar), if available, instead of 15% of line section peak load.

Plans & docs

Site Plan Reqs

• Shall be to scale
• Location of meter(s)
• Location of Utility AC disconnect
• Location of PCC/RPA/PoC
• Location of underground/overhead electrical wires - If underground, shall include any easements/right of ways

SLD Reqs

• Applicant Name
• Application ID
• Installer name and contact information
• Address where DER system will be installed
• Correct electrical position of all equipment, including but not limited to: Panels, Inverter, DC and AC disconnects.
• Distance between equipment
• Labeling found on equipment
• Total Aggregated AC nameplate rating of DER
• DER protection elements

make sure New Net Meter is wired in series Bottom side to Bottom Side. Double lugging in the meter sockets is not allowed. See Reference Doc " New Net Metering Guide" in Files section for clarification.

The one-line diagram shall be signed and stamped by a Minnesota Professional Engineer if the DER is larger than 20 kW and uncertified or larger than 250 kW and certified.

Please Label the AC Disconnect Correctly- Should be: Main Utility AC Disconnect, visible, lockable, readily accessible and within 10ft of the general service meter".

Meter Equipment is not set up, according to our technical requirements, each meter socket needs a bypass lever and this needs to be noted on the one line

Install Reqs

AC Disconnect Required

• Be within 10 feet of the utility meter
• Provide a visible air-gap.
• Be an AC rated device, UL or National Electrical Manufacture’s Association approved.
• Be manually operable by one person.
• Be lockable in the open position.
• Be sized for adequate ampere capacity.
• Be continuously readily accessible, with unescorted access to the Area EPS Operator’s personnel.
• Does not require fasteners to be removed to access the disconnect handle.
• Be gang operated so that operation of one switch handle opens and closes all energized conductors simultaneously.
• Not interrupt neutral conductors.

Placards

All signage and labeling shall meet applicable NEC requirements including NEC 110.21 (B), 690.13 and 750.10.

AC Disconnect

• The Utility AC disconnect shall be labeled as “UTILITY AC DISCONNECT”. The Utility AC Disconnect shall be located within 10 feet of the main service meter.
• If a single Utility AC Disconnect cannot be used to disconnect all DERs, all Utility AC disconnects should include numerical identification such as “UTILITY DER AC DISCONNECT 1 OF 2” or similar. The number of disconnects required to be operated to isolate the DER from the utility should be clear. A permanently affixed waterproof placard shall be located within 10 feet of the main service meter clearly indicating the number and locations of the multiple Utility AC Disconnects.
