AC gross power rating = DC x 0.85. Expected production should not exceed 115% of annual kWh use; generation limited to 90% of service capacity; ≥50 kW requires three-phase wye service. Interconnection at utility transformer or in meter can not permitted.

Storage, EV and stamps

Battery storage

BTM battery must be NRTL-listed to UL 1741 (non-UL1741 batteries DC-coupled behind a UL 1741 device); placard 'Battery storage utilized in this facility.' on meter enclosure. Battery/V2H/V2G stored energy for customer use only - export to grid not currently allowed. Backup-only battery (no renewables) needs no agreement but must prevent backfeed. Grid-interconnected stand-alone battery goes through Small Generator Interconnection Application; not net metered.

EV chargers

Net metering customers currently cannot join FPL EVolution Home program.

Common issues the utility lists

Applications may be returned for corrections (no list published).
Manual disconnect (Tier 2/3) must be visible-break, adjacent to meter, lockable with single FPL padlock, not in meter room.

Gridpol’s pre-submission check covers these before we file.
