Electric Service Reqs

AC Disconnect Required

• The customer shall furnish and install on customer's side of the meter, a UL-approved disconnect (safety switch, or approved equal) which shall be capable of fully disconnecting all customer energy production and storage sources from its distribution system for the safety of City line workers.
• The switch must be manually operable with a visible “ON” and “OFF” indication and capable of being locked in the off position.
• Draw-out or other types of disconnects are not acceptable.
• The disconnect switch shall be located adjacent to the City's meter and shall be of the visible break type in a metal enclosure which can be secured by a padlock.
• The disconnect switch shall be accessible to City personnel at all times.
• If the switch cannot be located within 10 feet of the service meter or is not visible from the meter, a permanent placard at the service meter location must be provided that gives clear directions to the disconnect location.

Install Reqs

• AC Disconnect switch must be adjacent to the billing meter and within 10 feet of the meter base
• For overhead electric services, no part of a roof-mounted PV array can be within 3' minimum horizonal distance from the mast for utility maintenance clearance
• Utility billing meter and disconnect switch shall be installed 5'-6' above grade
• Separate inverter isolation disconnects are needed depending on the location of the inverter. The inverter isolation AC and DC disconnects, if equipped, shall be installed within sign and within 10 feet of the inverter. If the inverter is located indoor and adjacent to the service panel, the designated overcurrent breaker may serve as the AC isolation disconnect, but both inverter DC disconnects and array disconnect are needed. if the inverter is located outdoor, an AC disconnect is needed and a single DC disconnect can serve the function of both inverter and array DC disconnects.

Placards

• AC disconnect shall be clearly labeled "Generator Disconnect Switch"
• Install large "Distributed Generation Backfeed Possible" warning label on the outside of transformer tank, overhead pole and/or termination riser. Install small version of this warning label on outside of meter socket. Install cable wrap version of this warning label adjacent to the address label at secondary connectors to clearly identify each service entrance conductor involved with the PV system.
