Small and DIY interconnection requirements
Their own wording: wait for interconnection approval before purchasing equipment or installing. PowerClerk application with a single-line diagram plus proof of homeowner's insurance with at least $100k personal liability. documented
Sequence: approval, install, local inspection, then a separate Dominion utility inspection, meter swap (bidirectional plus a generation meter), then approval to energize. 24/7 access to your disconnect and meter is required. documented
Solar Choice moves you to a time-of-use rate with exports credited by TOU period and a minimum bill. There's also an offset-only option with zero export credit, and a buy-all/sell-all rate. documented
Home-sale trap: solar service does not transfer with the electric account. The new owner must apply via PowerClerk before the generation meter is reconnected, and renters can't reconnect it at all. documented
