Please provide the following items:
1. CRD – PCS
Per PG&E Tariffs (Special Conditions Section 9.e.), since the total storage inverter is >10kW, either one of
the following options is required in order to prove that all exports to the grid come from the solar
equipment and not the battery. Please note that this is a California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
requirement :
1. Install a non-export relay to assure no export from the storage to grid
OR
3. EG4 Electronics LLC/ 18KPV-12LV [240V] [SI1-SB]is not listed on the California Energy Commissions (CEC)
as being PCS CRD certified. PCS CRD certification confirms that the storage system meets the NEM definition of No Grid Charging or No Storage Export and is considered an “addition” or “enhancement” to the NEM system and the entire system will be 100% NEM. Please reach out to the manufacturer (EG4 Electronics LLC) and request if they can provide you documentation that the specific inverter above meets the PCS CRD requirements. Respond back to this email with the documentation so I can have the Distribution (Engineering) Team review the documents and approve the inverters for use.
