- When to include an ‘Unavailability of Net Metering Acknowledgment Form’ or a ‘Net Metering Letter’: A Utility Net Metering Reference Table is available at the Program website which lists each utility that has participated in the Program thus far and a) whether they provide 1:1 net metering and b) if net metering is provided and if the utility issues a Net Metering Letter.
- The Utility Net Metering Reference Table should be referred to when submitting Part I to determine if an acknowledgement form is required.
- If the utility does NOT provide 1:1 net metering or a materially similar program, the customer is required to sign a form that must be uploaded to the Part I application as an ‘Additional Document’. In addition to the document being signed, all fields must be populated, including the “I will receive credits for surplus electricity that my project generates and sends back to the grid as follows:” field. This field should include either “not applicable” or a description of how the interconnecting utility does handle surplus electricity.
