Central Florida Electric Cooperative small photovoltaic interconnection

Their own published program, read and recorded. This outranks the Florida state rule wherever the two differ, because it is the program this utility actually administers.

How the size is measured: not published

The published limits here are stated in kilowatts without saying whether that is the inverter rating in alternating current or the array rating in direct current. On a system near a threshold that decides which band it lands in, so the checker asks the question rather than choosing an answer.

Size bands and what each one obliges

Small photovoltaic system Size 0 to 1000 kW

CFEC publishes no tiers. Every system pays the same $100 interconnection fee and carries the same $100,000 liability insurance requirement with CFEC listed as an additional interest.

  • $100 interconnection fee
  • $100,000 personal injury and property damage liability insurance listing CFEC as additional interest
  • Insurance declaration page
  • FSEC Standard 203-05 approval
  • Lockable visible load break manual disconnect

The screens that decide it

Ask the utility this, before you sell it

  1. Is the 1,000 kW nameplate limit measured in AC or DC? CFEC does not say, and on a large system the answer changes whether the project qualifies.
  2. Confirm the equipment carries FSEC Standard 203-05 approval. CFEC requires it and no other Florida utility researched does.
  3. How long does review and meter set take? CFEC publishes no timeline.

Worth knowing before you quote

CFEC buys excess kilowatt hours at an avoided cost of 4.1 cents per kWh, subject to change. Insurance is required at every size, including the smallest residential system. CFEC publishes no consumption cap and no aggregate program cap.
