THE SHORT ANSWER
Duke Energy directs customers who generate renewable energy to its customer-generation process. Start with the current utility instructions for the exact service address and preserve every submitted version. [1]
Confirm the serving utility
Use a current electric bill to confirm Duke Energy Florida serves the meter. A mailing city or county line does not establish the utility. Record the account name, service address and meter identifier exactly as shown before an installer opens the file.
Create one project identity
Give the array, inverter and storage equipment one consistent project name. Keep the proposal, one-line diagram, equipment schedule and application under that identity so revisions do not split into competing records.
Read the current process
Use Duke Energy’s current customer-generation page and Florida’s interconnection rule as starting references, then obtain the forms and instructions applicable to the project. Do not rely on a screenshot from an older project or another utility.
Track decisions, not promises
Log submission dates, confirmation numbers, correction requests and the party responsible for the next action. A sales estimate of timing is not utility approval. Ask Duke about its review and the contractor about its deliverables.
Before your next conversation
