EditTalk to Your Local Electric Utility
Before you contact your local utility, be prepared and know the answers to
the following types of questions. Utilities will always enjoy working with a
well-educated new generator.
Consider the following:
1. Will you be net-metering or will you be taking advantage
of the Feed-in-Tariff? (The Feed-In Tariff will substantially
increase your return on investment)
2. What is your average electrical consumption?
3. What is your account number with your local utility?
4. What is the size of the system you are installing?
5. What type of system are you are installing? (Have specs handy.)
6. What type of installation are you are considering?
(Flush to the roof or racks.)
