System Offset Notes

Projects must be sized so that system’s expected annual production does not exceed the highest annual consumption over any 12-month period within the past 5 years by more than 5% for the Customer of Record’s existing Revenue Meter plus the expected kWh for any planned addition of up to two electric vehicles and a whole home heat pump.

Allowances (Does not require proof by the utility)

• Electric Vehicle (per vehicle, maximum of two): 3,285 kWh 
• Whole-Home Air Source Heat Pump: 3,608 kWh
• Whole-Home Ground Source Heat Pump: 2,458 kWh 

In scenarios where less than 12 months of historical electric usage is available for the premise with its current occupant as the Customer of Record (i.e., an existing home that was purchased and the Customer of Record has resided there for 8 months), the system may be sized up to a maximum of 9 kW AC nameplate capacity without consideration of the limited available electric usage. Such systems may exceed 9 kW AC by an amount consistent with any planned future electrification measures.

For projects at new construction homes, systems may be sized up to 9 kW AC without including an energy model with the application. If the system is sized larger than 9 kW AC, a load justification is required.

Projects must not exceed 25kW AC as measured by the Inverter Nameplate Capacity of the Qualified System’s inverter. More than one Qualified Project may be located at a single one-to-four family property, however the total nameplate AC capacity for all qualified systems may not exceed 25kW. Co-located or paired energy storage system capacity does not count towards the 25 kW AC cap of Residential Renewable Energy Solutions.

Electric Service Reqs

Will require a meter relocation whenever the utility meter is located on the interior, or in any cabinets

Install Reqs

Battery ================= Each battery must have its own Disconnect.

Placards

If the AC Disconnect cannot be within 10 feet of, in visible sight of, and on same wall as the Revenue Meter, a request for a variance must be made to Eversource. If a variance is granted, then you must placard the Utility Meter stating that there is solar generation on site, and show the location of the AC Disconnect. In addition, you must placard the AC Disconnect stating that it is for solar generation.
