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.
