THE SHORT ANSWER
Lakeland Electric requires participating customers to review, sign and follow its parallel-connection agreement for photovoltaic generation and energy storage. [1]
Obtain the current version
Download the agreement from Lakeland Electric’s official solar page and record the review date. [1][2] Do not rely on an unsigned copy from another project because equipment, tiers and utility language may have changed.
Reconcile project identity
Check customer name, service address, account information, proposed capacity and equipment schedule. Those fields should match the proposal, one-line drawing, permit set and eventual installed system. Resolve differences before signature.
Assign every obligation
Create a list of customer, contractor and utility responsibilities, including submissions, inspections, access, operating authorization and changes. Ask questions of the responsible party rather than accepting a salesperson’s general summary of legal or technical terms.
Archive the completed record
Keep the signed agreement, utility correspondence, approved design, final inspection and operating authorization together. If a battery or array is later changed, use the current utility process rather than assuming the old agreement automatically covers the modification.
Before your next conversation
- Download the official current agreement.
- Match identity and equipment fields.
- List responsibilities by party.
