Solar Pv system installation procedures
Updated 08/01/2020
Effective January 1, 2017, Senate Bill 1 (Murray, Chapter 132, Statues of 2006), the California Solar Initiative (CSI) expired and no additional rebate applications will be accepted after this date.
Overview
Azusa Light and Water finds a utility partnership with its customers to be very important. To better serve its customers, Azusa Light and Water has designed a simple process for installing distributed solar photovoltaic systems.
Customer chooses a contractor to help identify system needs, cost, and complete the system design.
Installer is required to review, sign and follow the numbered instructions in the appropriate Solar Process Flow Chart (NEM for systems 10 kW or less, and CEM for systems greater than 10 kW but less than 1 MW) located in the California Solar Consumer Protection Guide appendices.
A. Solar Process Flow Chart for Residential System 10 kW or Less
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Azusa Light and Water does not endorse, nor does Azusa Light and Water have any partnerships or affiliations with, any specific solar installation company.
