Net Excess Generation Notes

Excess generation on a monthly basis is credited at 75% of the retail volumetric electricity rate (excluding public policy charges). The credits can be applied to future energy consumption charges. Credits cannot be applied to the Basic Service Charge, additional meter charges, Local Government Fees or gas charges (northern Nevada). Remaining credits at the end of the year are carried over to future bills. Credits are tied to the premise and are non-transferrable and non-payable.

System Offset Notes

OFFSET CALCULATION PROCESS (Less than 12 months usage):

• If the Ubill is unavailable, or does not have a full 12 months, a LJF (Load Justification Form) is required:
• If we are using an LJF to justify higher usage, NV Energy now requires that the Load Justification have a reason why the increase of the KW and why we need the load justification. We need CE now going forward to add to the sentence on the bottom of the Load justification letter with more information on the reason why we need the increase for the Load justification, for example: homeowner is adding an EV charger, or an AC unit, or more individuals will be living in the household (This is NOT required if we are requesting an LJF due to missing historical usage)

OFFSET CALCULATION PROCESS (12+ months usage):

• If the Utility Bill has 12 months usage, please proceed with power clerk:
• See files section for System Sizing Flowchart and NVE.PowerClerk Process.
• The individual working the construction review task should upload the Power Clerk snip to files section, if Aurora production for the system is over the historical usage in power clerk, then request an LJF and upload to files section when complete.

EXISTING SYSTEMS:

• Existing systems: both systems need to be accounted for. If we did not install the (E) system, we cannot confirm the consumption, just move forward with submittal, we will request the LJF when/if they correct us. If we did install the (E) system, consider both (E) and (N) system production compared to PowerClerk readings.

Meter Spot Process

TDR - TEMPORARY DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT 1. To request a TDR through NV Energy, the TDR worksheet below will need to be completed and submitted to . 2. NV Energy will not process an incomplete application - once the application is processed, the applicant will receive an email from NV Energy with a scheduled date. 3. or a subcontractor must be present at Disconnect and Reconnect. 4. Once the electrical work is completed, technician must contact them to reconnect the service, if the service is not requested to be connected before 12PM, service will not be activated until 5PM-8PM that night. TDR Charges: TDR’s incur a $30.00 charge per trip the crew takes to the site. A visit to disconnect or re-connect that occurs on the same day as the request or after hours will incur a $40.00 charge per visit. Cancelling a TDR less than 24 hours before the schedule disconnect date will incur a $30.00 site visit charge. TDR charges will be applied to the customer’s next bill.

Plans & docs

Site Plan Reqs

All Jobs

• A point of disconnect must be within 10’ of the service entrance disconnect with a direct line of sight and no obstructions (fence, etc.) between the two. This can be acheived with a MBE at the pedestal to avoid trenching, see example project --------> https://portal./projects/372278
• AC Disconnect cannot be inside the garage.
• Access Issues should also be indicated on the site plan. Include but not limited to: walls, gates, or equipment installed buildings or structure that are not easily accessible.
• NVE requires "at least 6 inches of clearance below the Utility sealed section of a service panel. All Customer-Generator owned equipment including conduit must provide this clearance."

The note below is set up for Relay automation. It is required for all jobs. Confirm the note is on the site plan.

AT LEAST 6 INCHES OF CLEARANCE BELOW THE UTILITY SEALED SECTION OF A SERVICE PANEL. ALL CUSTOMER-GENERATOR OWNED EQUIPMENT INCLUDING CONDUIT MUST PROVIDE THIS CLEARANCE.

AC DISCONNECT SWITCH MUST BE WITHIN 10' OF THE SERVICE ENTRANCE DISCONNECT WITH A DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT AND NO OBSTRUCTIONS (FENCE, ETC.) BETWEEN THE TWO.

SLD Reqs

Relay Meter Orientation = Under/Over

Battery

• Only one ESS meter required
• ESS Disconnect required

AC Coupled Batteries:

• See SLD sample in RE-3 standard (attachments 4-6), 3-Meter DC Coupled, 3-Meter AC Coupled with Backup Load, and 2-Meter AC Coupled no BackUp Load.
• A bi-directional PV+ESD meter is required on the grid side of the inverter (or load center combining multiple inverters), The top clips of this meter must connect to the AC disconnect and the bottom clips of this meter must connect towards the battery inverter.
• A one-directional meter on any backup load circuits fed from these inverters.
• Each meter socket also requires an AC Disconnect - on the grid side of the PV+ESD meter, or on the inverter side of any backup load meters.
• PV+ESD and Backup Load meter sockets are to be wired: ESS > Bottom of PM > Top of PM to AC disconnect.
• Batteries to be combined in LC prior to wiring to Production Meter and Disco.
• "FOR BATTERIES ONLY" Relocate battery meter socket & disconnect switch to the battery branch leg of the PV circuit with battery socket closest to the batt storage unit. There shall be no meter socket/disc switch at where the backup panel is located (AC coupled system).

DC Coupled Batteries:

• Backup loads panel meter & Utility power disconnect switch required. 
• Backed up load center -> Backup loads panel meter -> Utility power disconnect switch -> SE Backup Interface

Add-On System:

• The (N) system shall combine with (E) System regardless of production meter
• Leave existing production meter/AC disco and combine systems in a load center after

Electric Service Reqs

• Like-for-like MPU is highly recommended. Expect major financial and scheduling complications if increasing service size.
• "Solar Ready" MPU, NV Energy required "Solar Ready Panel" to be reflected on the Single Line. Along with the Part #, Lug Kit Model Number (if applicable), and spec sheets.
