Time of Use (TOU) Rate Requirements Update
Starting in January 2007, CSI customers are required to take electric service under applicable TOU tariffs
The CPUC is expected to issue a decision on June 7th that would allow customers a choice between TOU and non-TOU rates until more solar-friendly TOU rates are developed
Customers who were required to take service under a TOU tariff will be allowed to switch to a non-TOU tariff and will receive a credit for any difference in charges
The Legislature is working on emergency clean-up legislation that will postpone the mandatory TOU requirement until more solar-friendly rates are developed

Meter RequirementsAll Systems Must Have Metering &
Performance Monitoring• Meters are separate from utility revenue meters
• Must have 5-yrs of performance monitoring service
• Subject to certain exemptions (See Table 16 in CSI Handbook)
Meter Costs• Customer must bear all costs for metering and 5 years of data
communication and performance monitoring service
• Costs not to exceed 1% of system costs for 30kW and below, 0.5% above 30kW (See Table 16 for exemptions)
EPBB vs. PBI Accuracy Requirements• EPBB < 10 kW: +/- 5% accurate (inverter meters allowed)
• EPBB > 10 kW & All PBI: +/- 2% accurate

Meter Requirements
Additional 2% Meter Requirements• Must provide Certificate from manufacturer for accuracy test
• Must be capable of recording 15-minute interval data
• Must have remote communication capability
All Meters Must Be Listed by CEC• Must state that meter is eligible for 2% requirement
Meter Warranty Requirements• 2007: One-Year Warranty
• 2008+: Five-Year Warranty

CSI Handbook
Refer to CSI Handbook, Section 2.8 and Appendix B 9
Table 16 Metering Summary
5% Meter
(Inverter Integrated) 2% Meter
(Standalone Meter) PMRS
EPBB < 10kW Required Optional Required*
EPBB ≥ 10kW and <20 kW N/A Required Required*
EPBB > 20 kW N/A Required Required
PBI (All System Sizes) N/A Required Required
Notes: • PMRS stands for Performance Monitoring and Reporting System *Required unless the cost of the PMRS fall above the cost cap (the cost of the minimum metering, communication, and reporting system over the first five years for each solar installation size grouping shall be less than 1% of total installed cost for systems up to 30 k and 0.5% for larger systems. See CPUC Decision D.06-08-028). The customer seeking exemption must demonstrate to the Program Administrator that they were not able to satisfy the metering requirements within the applicable cost cap. N/A = Not Applicable

Meter Data RequirementsTwo Separate Data Streams:
Performance Data to Customer• Daily, hourly or “real-time” performance data to customer
• Data maintained by Performance Monitoring & Reporting Service (PMRS) provider per Handbook requirements
• Only PMRS providers listed with the CEC currently eligible
PBI Data to Program Administrator• Monthly kWh produced 15-min. interval data
• Submitted via approved “Performance Data Provider” (PDP)
• Program Administrators developing PDP requirements
• Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) 867 format (proposed)

Meter Installation Options
Customers may contract with utility or qualified 3rd
party providers.• Can use any qualified provider for the meter installation, so long
as the meter is CEC-approved & installed to NEC and applicable local codes.
• We recommend using experienced meter installers for safety & reliability reasons. (See CPUC web site for certified Meter Service Providers)
• Customer responsible for installing meter socket for utility-provided meters.
Customers should decide early in the process who will provide meter, MDMA & PMRS services to avoid delays, minimize cost and ensure compatibility.

Meter Requirements Update
Petition to Modify submitted on March 5th (PG&E, SDREO, CalSEIA, PV Now, Vote Solar Initiative, SMA America)
If approved, Petition would modify CSI as follows:• All EPBB customers allowed to use inverter meters.
• Remove cost cap for all PBI customers & confirm 2% meter requirement for all PBI, regardless of size.
• Remove requirement for PMRS providers to be independent of solar vendors & installers.
Awaiting CPUC action
