Small and DIY interconnection requirements

Exelon sister of Pepco: apply before installation through the Green Power Connection portal. Installers usually file, but nothing stops a homeowner application. documented

Do this first: check their Heat Map and Restricted Circuit Map. Some circuits are closed or restricted to new solar, and building in one means contacting the Green Power team before you design anything. documented

Delaware side: 1:1 net metering with systems sized up to 110% of your 12-month usage, and a 2022 law raised the utility's opt-out cap from 5% to 8% of peak demand. SRECs sell through the state auction, and DNREC Green Energy grants exist on top. documented

Maryland side: the standard MD statewide Level 1 process applies, 1:1 netting, and the plug-in exemption is live. documented

Verify your export before Delmarva Power does

Delmarva Power nets your exports, but the meter still logs every reverse-flow interval, including ones you didn't plan. Worth knowing your real number before they do.
