Net Metering Expansion

Net Metering Expansion

From $1,499.00Price

Already have rooftop solar but wish you could generate more? 

California net metering agreements allow the expansion of your existing solar array by up to 1 kW. Plug-in solar provides a simple, cost-effective way to grow your system using available space around your home.

  • Easy Installation: Just plug in and start generating.

  • Cost-Effective: Add solar capacity without the complexity and cost of traditional rooftop panels.

  • Flexible Placement: Install anywhere around your home with enough sun.

Availability: Pick up/delivery available within one week of placing order. 

Pickup: Oakland, CA or Los Angeles, CA (starting March 3rd). Local Delivery within 50 miles of our Oakland storefront. Sorry, no shipping outside this area.

* Specifically, PG&E allows an expansion of up to 1 kW of generation capacity without losing existing net metering privileges, please see the last paragraph of this document.

 

If you have the space for 3 panels and would like to add an additional panel to your system, please contact us to purchase.

  • Disclaimers

    REGULATORY NOTES:

    • This is a portable solar device. Depending on how you plan to install it, a building permit may be required. If in doubt, please check with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (e.g. your City Building Department).

    • In California, CPUC Decision 14-03-041 (see page 27) allows the expansion of an existing solar array by the greater of 1 kW or 10%. If in doubt, please check with your utility whether the expansion needs registration.

    • Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) references the expansion allowance in the last paragraph of this document and does not mention a registration requirement.

    • Southern California Edison (SCE) requires registration of the expansion. Please see their Net Metering FAQ and search for the word "expand" on the page.

    • If you live outside California, please make sure the expansion conforms with your existing net metering agreement. ​​​​​

    SAFETY NOTE:

    For electrical safety, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC), the outlet to which you connect the system has to be on a dedicated circuit, i.e. having its own dedicated breaker with no other outlets or loads on the same circuit.

  • Add 3rd Panel

    If you have the space for 3 panels and would like to add an additional panel to your system, please contact us to purchase.
