I am trying to complete the utility (SCE in California) Net-metering application. This will be a self-install project.
Has anyone completed the application themselves? There are no resources online for completing the application. The only questions I have left are below. I beleive they want information on the inverter since I will not have a generator attached, and they do call the entire system an "Generating Facility" . The only peice of data I could find was the software version # of the inverter from the manufacturer website. But I don't know if any of these others only apply to a generator or to the inverter. These also do not appear to be ratings that appear on a nameplate, but rather they are calculated. I have attached the spec sheet for the inverters (2) and the solar panels (Q-cell 395) if anyone can help.
Does the Generating Facility meet any of the criteria below?
Yes
