What happens if they catch you?

Being verified being verified

Small and DIY interconnection requirements

NMIN application through their self-service portal, Adobe Sign signatures from both customer and vendor, and a contingent approval email before you install. documented

Self-installers are named in Dominion's own process: after install, certification comes from a licensed Virginia electrician or a passed local inspection, either path works, and the vendor or self-installer uploads the proof to close Section 5. documented

Dominion explicitly does not review your equipment choice, installation method, or location, only grid compatibility per UL 1741 and IEEE 1547. Code compliance is entirely on you and your AHJ. documented

Monthly credits carry forward and get applied against future net consumption, and you can sell your RECs to Dominion or on the open market. documented
