Customer Generation – Verification

This System Verification Form is required after the proposed onsite Distributed Energy Resource (DER) 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 can be excluded if desired. Once submitted, an electronic printable version of this form will be emailed.

Upon receipt, Idaho Power will conduct a site visit within 10 business days (20 business days for systems over 100 kW) to check for compliance with Schedule 68 Interconnections 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 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.

Maximum System Size

  • Residential and Small General Service: 25 kW AC.
  • Large General, Industrial, and Irrigation Service: 100 kW AC or the service point’s highest billed demand in the last 12 months.
  • Billed demand is defined as assessed charges for demand that a customer is billed for. For irrigation customers, demand charges are only assessed/billed during in-season billing periods. The in-season rates begin with the customer’s meter reading for the May billing cycle and end with the customer’s meter reading for the September billing cycle.
  • AC-coupled energy systems count toward the total DER for the Feasibility Review, but do not count toward the maximum system size noted above.

Projects are reviewed based on the proposed total AC nameplate capacity as defined in Schedule 68 and AC unity power factor (1 kilovolt-ampere (kVA) = 1 kilowatt (kW)).

    Customer Information

    Project Details

    Total number of Idaho Power-required AC disconnects for the entire DER (generation and storage systems). Do not include breakers or DC rapid shutdown.*
    Note: If multiple AC disconnects, a sign must be installed on/near the meter base indicating the number and location of all disconnects, and each disconnect must be labeled.
    See Schedule 68 for descriptions of protection types.
    Note: An Energy Storage System alone, without a Renewable Energy Generation System, is not eligible to export energy and must be installed as a Non-Exporting System.

    Resource Type: Solar

    Note: If the project also has AC-coupled battery storage, provide the battery’s inverter information in the Energy Storage section of this form.


    Resource Type: Wind


    Please provide the details of the inverter connecting to the AC breaker panel.

    Note: If the project also has AC-coupled battery storage, provide the battery’s inverter information in the Energy Storage section of this form.



    Resource Type: Hydro/Other Generation Type

    Describe Resource Type (limited to 1000 characters)


    Please provide the details of the inverter connecting to the AC breaker panel.

    Note: If the project also has AC-coupled battery storage, provide the battery’s inverter information in the Energy Storage section of this form.



    Resource Type: Energy Storage


    Note: Please provide a line diagram of the system and battery spec sheet(s). Email to cg@idahopower.com noting customer name and address or include a copy when mailing the completed application.


    Note: Energy Storage Devices may share an inverter with a Generation Facility ("DC Coupled"), or Energy Storage Devices may have a stand-alone inverter ("AC Coupled").
