FOR INSTALLERS

SUBMIT AND TRACK YOUR INTERCONNECTION REQUEST

Oncor makes it easy for customers or their installers and energy system developers to submit and track the status of their interconnection requests with a web-based project portal. This user-friendly tool allows you to follow one or more project applications through the entire interconnection process – from the time you submit your initial request through final permission to operate.

HOW THE TOOL WORKS

Throughout the application process, the installer portal provides updates to the customer or their installers as each step of interconnection is completed. The installer portal provides a seamless workflow and reduces overall processing time and administrative costs.

The Application Process for Inverter and Small Systems
Other Important Considerations

SUBMIT AND TRACK YOUR INTERCONNECTION REQUEST

The interconnection process starts with an application that identifies the parties involved and provides the technical DER design and equipment details. We review the application to determine what’s needed for a safe and reliable interconnection and sign an Interconnection Agreement. Oncor programs your meter to measure the out-flow or surplus (kWh) energy you’re not consuming and updates your electric account.

OTHER IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Homeowners and businesses interested in leveraging renewable Distributed Generation (DG) systems should keep a few other things in mind.

Oncor advanced meters measure energy consumption as well as surplus energy (kWh) that is sent to the grid and eligible for "buy-back." This information is provided to retail electric providers with the first full billing cycle (30-60 days) after the meter set date.
Customers are responsible for negotiating an agreement with a Retail Electric Provider (REP) of their choice regarding surplus energy produced by their DG system.
Oncor requires warning placards on all distributed generation projects to alert company employees of a potential alternate source of power. See the Oncor Placard Guideline for more information.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A certified solar system is an inverter-based system that has been tested and certified to meet the standards specified in UL-1741 Utility Interactive (Underwriters Laboratory). Your solar system vendor can verify solar system certification. If your system does not meet UL-1741 requirements, it is a non-certified system. For additional information regarding certification listings, refer to GoSolarCalifornia.

If the battery system operates in parallel, for any length of time, with the utility then an interconnection agreement is required. Please contact Oncor for specific questions.
