[RE-wrenches] Inverter ratings exceeding 25kw fir battery backup

[Tyrone Houck]

Greetings wrenches,
In Pacific Power territory we are coming up against roadblocks with regards
to whole house battery backup systems with inverter ratings higher than
25kw. Even when the generation capacity is below the 25kw residential
limit, net metering applications are being rejected based on the inverter
rating.. The inverter rating in these cases is sized to handle the
customer's existing loads and will never export more than the 25kw limit
dictated by Oregon PUC.  I am drafting a letter to Energy Trust, the state,
etc. But am curious if anyone else gas had this problem or come up with a
solution. I would appreciate to hear any experiences or similar
interactions with PGE or PPL or even how this has worked in other
jurisdictions, states, etc. Any input or support is greatly appreciated.
