Net Excess Generation Notes

Electric energy from the Customer Renewable Generation System shall first be used to serve the Customer’s own load and offset the Customer’s demand for KUA electricity. Any kWh of electric energy produced by the customer-owned renewable generation system that is not consumed by the Customer’s own load and is delivered to the KUA system shall be deemed as “excess customer-owned renewable generation.” Excess Customer-Owned renewable generation shall be purchased in the form of a credit on the Customer’s monthly energy consumption bill.

In the event that a given monthly credit for excess customer-owned renewable generation exceeds the total billed amount for Customer’s consumption in any corresponding month, then the excess credit shall be applied to the Customer’s subsequent bill. Excess credits produced pursuant to the preceding sentence shall accumulate and be used to offset Customer’s energy consumption bill for a period of not more than twelve (12) months. At the end of each calendar year, KUA shall pay the customer for any unused credits.

Electric Service Reqs

### Taps:

* Taps are not allowed in KUA's meter provision. Any taps in the line or load side of the customer's service panel would be regulated by the AHJ.

### Islanding

* For safety reasons the Customer’s RGS shall not energize KUA’s system when the KUA system is de-energized at the Customer’s service point. There shall be no intentional islanding, as described in the Institute of Electric and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Standard 1547, between the Customer’s RGS and the KUA system.

### External Disconnect Switch

1. For a Tier 1 RGS KUA typically does not require a manual disconnect switch. However, KUA does reserve the right to require (at KUA’s expense) the installation of a manual disconnect switch of the visible load break type. Without a disconnect switch, should there be a need to visibly isolate the RGS, KUA will remove the Customer’s meter, resulting in a loss of KUA electric service.

2. For Tier 2 and Tier 3 RGS, KUA requires an isolation device per IEEE 1547.2018. The isolation device shall be a manual disconnect switch of the visible load break type. The switch must be visible and accessible to KUA personnel. The device shall be located Page 4 adjacent to, but separate from, the meter. The switch must be capable of being locked in the open position with a KUA lock.

### Inverter

* For inverter based systems, the inverter must be listed and in compliance with Underwriters Laboratory (UL) 1741, Standard for Static Inverters and Charge Controllers for Use in Photovoltaic Systems

### System Installations.

The Customer certifies and must submit documentation that the RGS shall be in compliance with the following standards:

1. IEEE-1547 (2018) Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems.

2. IEEE-1547.1 (2012) Standard Conformance Test Procedures forEquipment Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems.

3. UL-1741 (2010) Inverters, Converters, Controllers and Interconnection System Equipment for Use with Distributed Energy Resources.

4. PV modules must be listed and be in compliance with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standard 1703, Standard for Safety: Flat-Plate Photovoltaic Modules and Panels.

5. Currently adopted National Electric Code, NFPA 70 and all relevant articles (or subsequent revisions), Florida Building Code, and local codes and regulations.

6. The manufacturer’s installation, operation and maintenance instructions

#### System Offset

The RGS GPR must not exceed 90% of the Customer's KUA distribution service rating at the Customer's location.

If the GPR does exceed the 90% limit, the Customer shall be responsible to pay the cost of upgrades to the distribution facilities required to accommodate the GPR capacity and ensure the 90% threshold is not breached.

Install Reqs

For a Tier 1 RGS (<10 kW), KUA typically does not require a manual disconnect switch. However, KUA does reserve the right to require (at KUA’s expense) the installation of a manual disconnect switch of the visible load break type. Without a disconnect switch, should there be a need to visibly isolate the RGS, KUA will remove the Customer’s meter, resulting in a loss of KUA electric service
