This System Verification Form is required after the proposed onsite renewable generation system is installed and after successful completion of a state or city electrical inspection. Idaho Power prefers that this form be completed by a licensed electrician, solar installer, NABCEP certified individual or an engineer or other qualified persons as accepted by Idaho Power. In lieu of professional certification, documentation may be required including cut sheets and/or invoices for installed components. If invoices are provided, financial information is not required and can be excluded if desired. Once submitted, an electronic printable version of this form will be emailed.
For Schedules 01 & 07 (Residential and Small General Service): upon receipt, Idaho Power will conduct a site visit within 10 business days to check for compliance with Schedule 68 Interconnection to Customer Distributed Energy Resources, and change the meter. It is not necessary to be present for this visit.
The first Idaho Power inspection is conducted at no charge. A return trip charge of $61 may be billed to the customer each time Idaho Power personnel are dispatched to the job site but are unable to conduct the on-site inspection due to one or more of the conditions not being met that had been certified as complete by the customer or installer on this form.
For Schedules 09, 19, and 24, (Commercial, Industrial, and Irrigation) Idaho Power will contact you to discuss next steps.
Exporting system maximum size: 25 kW AC for Residential and Small General Service; 100 kW AC for Large Commercial, Industrial and Irrigation. AC-coupled battery systems count toward total system size.
