No utilities in MN are exempt from net-metering, and except for when you are trying to access a rare incentive program, you can install up to a 40 kW system with no limitations on size. Many in our local solar industry are working together to make sure utilities don't dissuade customers or try to enforce rules that go beyond what state law allows. The State Dept of Commerce and MnSEIA are compiling many complaints similar to this, so we can work together to combat this sort of thing. I would encourage you to be in communication with both of these entities.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Sincerely,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span>Rebecca Lundberg<br>

Hello all,<br>
<br>
I was at a get together lastnight and was taking to one of the higher ups at my electrical co-op. He informed me that effective now they will not allow any member to interconnect a renewable energy system that has the potential to create more than 50% of their monthly electrical usage.<br>
<br>
Are any of you seeing a similar rule? He told me "everyone is going to this now".<br>
<br>
