Interconnection is the formal handshake between your solar system and the JPS grid — application, technical review, metering arrangements, then approved export. Done properly by your installer, your involvement is mostly signatures.
The path, step by step
1. Application. System specs, inverter certification, single-line diagram, account details — prepared and filed by BTECH for grid-tie installations.
2. Technical review. JPS verifies the design protects the grid: anti-islanding, protection settings, capacity relative to your service.
3. Metering. Export-capable metering is arranged so outbound energy is recorded for credits.
4. Commissioning and export. With approval in place, exports begin earning net billing credits.
What smooths the process
Certified equipment (the reason we stock the inverters we do), complete first-time paperwork, and an installer who answers technical queries directly. Files bounce on missing details — professional filing exists to prevent the bounce.
Timing reality
Physical installation from local stock takes days; JPS processing takes as long as it takes. We file early in the project so both tracks finish close together — and with a battery, your system serves the house fully while the export file matures.
FAQ
Can I run solar without interconnection?
Off-grid systems: yes, entirely outside this process. Grid-tied systems must not export before approval — configuration handles that.
Does interconnection cost much?
Administrative costs are modest relative to the system; your quote discussion covers them.
