Getting approval from Southern California Edison to add more panels to my system.

[Stan Elmin]

I've heard that SCE has refused some residential solar systems because of their size. I am thinking of adding 2.5 kw to my current system. This will most likely be a ground mount system. Right now I have a 5.75 kw system on the roof. I am concerned about buying panels before I know if Edison would approve this. Does anyone know what SCE deams as a limit for a residential solar system in terms of KWH. If anyone has any info that might help, it would be greatly appreciated. ( Any reason they would disapprove?)

Thanks,
Stan

I've never tried to do this myself, so I don't know, but:

Maybe it's because they were already making more than they were using?

Or more than 10kW, which seems to be a threshold size for some things?

Another problem that could come up in the near future:
https://www.sce.com/wps/portal/home/...y-metering/faq talks about one possible problem: increasing by more than greater of 1kW or 10% might cause you to lose your sweet, sweet net metering deal if you try this after the NEM cap is hit.
Judging by https://www.sce.com/wps/portal/home/...nergy-metering there's about 9 - 10 months left?

Since SCE is the one with go/nogo say in the matter, why not call and ask them, or root around on their website ? Probably more authoritative.
