Although incentives are no longer offered, GWP continues to make NEM available to customers who are interested in installing solar photovoltaic systems in their home or business. With NEM, solar customers are eligible to receive a bill credit for any excess generation produced by their solar system and have the credit automatically applied to their account when it is needed.

IMPORTANT CHANGES EFFECTIVE 11/01/2023

1. All residential and commercial PC systems sized up to 10kW CEC-AC will be exempt from the 110% historical usage cap. Self-certification of system size need will be required within the PC Interconnection Application on PowerClerk. Customers who meet these criteria may also install up to 30 kWh of PV paired energy storage.
2. Energy storage meter will no longer be required for any residential or commercial energy storage systems. For the most recent versions of the Distributed Energy Resources Diagrams please refer to the Distributed Energy Resources section of the Electrical Service Requirements. 
3. Inverters with PCS (Power Control Systems) capabilities will now be allowed in the City of Glendale. Customer-Generator and Solar Contractor will be required to complete a Power Control System Agreement and submit as an additional document. 

Please review the Guide for Applying for PV Interconnection and NEM (for under 15 kW CEC-AC residential systems) if installing an under 15 kW CEC-AC residential system.

All installations of commercial PV systems and installations of 15+ kW CEC-AC residential PV systems need to follow the Guide for Applying for PV Interconnection and NEM (for commercial and 15+ kW CEC-AC residential systems).
