Equipment that converts the solar DC electricity into usable AC electricity.

3

Monitoring System

Equipment that tracks and reports real-time and historical solar energy output.

4

Utility Disconnect

AC disconnect that is easily accessible and lockable by the utility for safety.

5

Solar (REC) Meter

New electrical meter installed to allow the utility to track solar energy production and provide credits.

6
