How Do I Get Involved?
Southern California Edison has developed a multi-step process to streamline building candidate qualification and selection. Following is an outline of that process:
- To begin discussions with SCE, a Non-Disclosure Agreement must be signed to protect the building owner's and SCE's confidential information.
- Owner provides a list of buildings to be considered for the Solar Rooftop Leasing Program.
- SCE will request structural, architectural, and site plans, and all third party inspection reports in owner's procession for select buildings.
- SCE will then proceed to do preliminary site inspections and system modeling to determine which buildings might fit into the Solar Rooftop Program.
- Once a building is deemed suitable, the owner will be asked to sign an "Exclusive Right to Negotiate", enabling SCE to put the building into the queue for interconnection into the electrical grid, a process that can take in excess of seven months.
- Engineering evaluations of proposed rooftops will be conducted to confirm their suitability to hold a solar facility.
- A lease will then be executed between SCE and the Property Owner for the roof and a small portion of the ground. A tentative construction start date will be set.
- SCE installs and pays for the solar system.
