Applicants can submit online with a standardized plan set; approval is typically issued same-day or within 1-3 business days for systems that meet the checklist (generally under 10 kW AC, no structural upgrades beyond basic rafter analysis, no main service panel upgrade). Building inspection follows installation. Commercial and larger systems require full plan review.

NEM 3.0 (Net Billing Tariff) applies to new PG&E interconnections from April 2023; SMUD has its own Solar and Storage Rate (SSR).
