Install Reqs

For new service a meter socket with a service disconnect is required by the requesting party. The utility will furnish the meter. For existing service seeking net metering, the existing meter socket is used. The meter in an existing service will be replaced with a meter capable to register forward and reverse power flow.


As long as increase to the load/generation does not yield an upgrade on the utility side customer is free to do as they see fit on their side of the meter (load side), as long as all local and national codes are satisfied.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Farmers Coop before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
