Greetings!
I installed an array and submitted an application for net metering in Ohio. After some back and forth, the utility company suggested I complete a load study before they install the meter (they also suggested that I should have done this before the installation).
The installation is on new construction so I can't measure my load. My electrician has no experience in executing a load study. I have a background in electrical engineering so my approach is to estimate usage of all the appliances, estimate their annual usage, and present an estimated annual kWh.
Are there other things that should be in a load study?
Thanks,
Joe
