Been planning a solar build for a while but did not contact the utility company first…my bad. In a metro NC area, the interconnect agreement is as bad as my cabin in TN, buy all/sell all. Wanted to do enphase GT with AC coupling to an off grid inverter. Can’t do it in either location, only buy all sell all. The GTI AC from PV is NOT allowed to be routed to a dwelling Main or Sub panel, only connected to the utility leads somehow. Can’t figure out how enphase storage would even work. Sucks, no AC coupling allowed.
Going to call back and see what my other options are.

From city:
- The City only offering is Buy All – Sell All (refer to the attached diagram).
- Under the Buy All – Sell All plan, the City will buy all the energy the homeowner’s solar panels generate (as registered by the solar meter) at the wholesale rate of $0.03 per kWh. The City will then sell all the energy the homeowner’s consumption meter registers at the rate of $0.10 per kWh.
- Under the Buy All – Sell All plan, all energy produced will be connected to the dwelling electrical system before the primary service panel disconnect.
