3. Self-Generation Incentive Program 3 GIS Role One point of contact for customer (or authorized agent) with regard to interconnecting systems Coordinate various activities, including engineering, metering, and contract administration Responsible to ensure system is installed as design indicates and operating according to Rule 21 Two types of solar interconnections: NEM and non-NEM options

4. Self-Generation Incentive Program 4 Interconnection Application and Agreement A separate application and process from CSI (recently updated) Process runs parallel with CSI/SGIP Application must be complete and include required documents for review Execute Inspection and Interconnection Agreement before a system is permitted to operate

5. Self-Generation Incentive Program 5 Project Review

6. Self-Generation Incentive Program 6 Inspection Check system to ensure built as designed (matches SLD) Install bi-directional meter (NEM) Verify installation of AC disconnect and appropriate signage (if required) Install Net Gen Output Meter, if needed

7. Self-Generation Incentive Program 7 Process Improvement Change in AC disconnect requirement policy – November 2006 NEM-MT has been approved to simplify projects with solar combined with other generation technologies Underway: simplification of application, to be combined with the Agreement for NEM

8. Self-Generation Incentive Program 8 Overall Timeline NEM projects- generally less than 30 business days Non-NEM- within 60 days, if all required docs/signatures and construction is on schedule
