Plans & docs

Site Plan Reqs


SLD Reqs
  • Total system size including existing systems must be outlined on SLD and Site Plan for ex. TOTAL SYSTEM SIZE: AC: 5kW (Existing) + 3.8kW (New) = 8.8kW AC DC: 5.67 (Existing) + 2.835 ( New) = 8.505kW DC
  • Do not split 15 mod system into 7/8 stings. Use 15 mods on a single string
  • Inverter models must match the specification sheet on plans, also specification sheet must specify UL1741 SB. Example: Adjust the inverter model name from SOLAREDGE SE6000H-USRGM [SI1] to SOLAREDGE SE6000H-US to be consistent with provided inverter datasheet.
  • Please ensure plans show max continuous output
  • Include meter number on ELD. See files section for Meter Number Example to see what number should be added.
  • Meter number required on title block + single line diagram. Site capture should have picture of meter + closeup of number.
  • The AC Disconnect needs a note that it is utility accessible.

Battery Projects

  • A note for the gateway needs to state operation mode. Ex: “Self Consumption Mode”
  • A note for the battery needs to state operation mode: Ex: “Self Consumption Mode” and “PV ONLY EXPORT MODE and CHARGES FROM PV ONLY”.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Versant Power (ME) before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
