What Grid Connection Information Should a Rooftop PV Buyer Collect

Identify the local network approval process and collect the actual site's connection information before treating a PV proposal as deliverable. Module selection alone does not establish permission to connect or export. Record the utility or network operator's requirements, the application status and the party responsible for each submission.

Practical review checklist

· Identify the connection. Record the service location, meter or connection reference and the responsible network operator.

· Request current requirements. Obtain the relevant application forms and site-specific conditions from the actual operator or appointed reviewer.

· Separate limits. Distinguish installed capacity, inverter arrangement and any export conditions in the proposal.

· Track approvals. Keep application revisions, responses, expiry conditions where stated and outstanding actions together.

When to request clarification

Do not describe a system as approved because a similar nearby project connected successfully. Keep the commercial offer subject to unresolved network conditions.

Questions buyers ask

Is export permission the same as installed capacity? They are different project terms and must be read from the actual connection conditions.

What makes a review record useful? It identifies the actual equipment, source evidence, responsible person and unresolved conditions so a later reviewer can follow the decision.

Information to send with an enquiry

Send the connection reference, available electrical drawings, proposed equipment and all operator correspondence.

This is a project discussion checklist, not an installation instruction or an approval. The selected manufacturers, project engineer and local authority must confirm the applicable requirements.

屋顶光伏采购前应收集哪些并网资料

采购前应识别当地接网流程并收集现场接入资料。组件选型不等于获得并网或送电许可，应记录电网方要求、申请状态及各项提交责任。

实用核对清单

· 识别接入点：记录服务地点、电表或接入编号及电网运营方。

· 索取当前要求：从真实运营方或指定审阅者取得表格及项目条件。

· 区分边界：在方案中分别列明装机、逆变器配置和送电条件。

· 跟踪审批：保留申请版本、答复、明示有效条件及未完成事项。

需要澄清的情况

相邻项目成功并网不代表本项目已获批，未解决的电网条件应在报价中保留。
