What is the Interconnection Process?

Interconnection is a critical and necessary step in the customer journey when seeking to install a grid-tied solar PV system. This is the process by which the customer is able to get permission from the utility to operate their system in parallel with the electrical grid, enabling homeowners to both consume solar-generated electricity and export excess power back to the grid. Understanding the fundamentals of interconnection is fundamental for anyone involved in the residential solar industry, as it directly impacts system performance, financial benefits, and regulatory compliance.

In this video excerpt from the Customer Contracts & Agreements (https://www.heatspring.com/courses/cu...) course, we hear from HeatSpring instructor Vaughan Woodruff, as he explains the interconnection process.
