Currently work for a smaller solar firm in upstate NY, looking at a potential project in northeastern pennsylvania..have some questions for installers in the area.

Hello! As the title says, currently living and working in upstate NY. However, I am from Northeastern PA and have a project that came up that we are potentially considering. Here are some basic details/questions:

Description: The project is for a commercial site. It is a large distribution warehouse in the Wilkes-barre/Scranton area. Roof surface would allow for about 3MW of size. Utility is PPL. Customer is using about 5,000 - 7,000 kWh/DAY. Budget is very large and not a huge concern, fortunately.

Questions:

  1. Is PA full net metering right now? Is there a limit to the total nameplate kW size for a system like this? Is there a % offset limit?

  2. Are there any crazy interconnection agreement limits? How is PPL with these types of projects?

  3. Do you have to have any "state" certifications to install? Or would it just be whatever the AHJ requires?

  4. Last I checked incentives were fairly non-existent for most systems in PA. Aside from the federal tax credit, is there anything I should look into?

  5. Any other tips or things you would want to throw my way?

Thank you!
