Scope
Define the equipment model, firmware/version requirements, mounting, wiring, and any monitoring or telemetry services. Be specific about brand, model, and software baseline so acceptance tests can be objective.
A well-drafted agreement clarifies roles, reduces permit and interconnection delays, and protects all parties by documenting warranties, payment terms, and acceptance criteria. It also helps manage liability if equipment fails or code compliance issues arise.
The Smart Inverter Installation Agreement is used by installers, property owners, integrators, and financiers to formalize installation and interconnection responsibilities.
Use the agreement whenever a smart inverter is procured, installed, or connected to a third-party grid or storage system to document technical, commercial, and regulatory obligations.
Define the equipment model, firmware/version requirements, mounting, wiring, and any monitoring or telemetry services. Be specific about brand, model, and software baseline so acceptance tests can be objective.
State start and completion dates, milestones for inspections and commissioning, and allowances for weather or material delays. Include remedial timelines for missed milestones and liquidated damages only if mutually agreed.
Assign responsibility for building permits, electrical permits, and interconnection applications. Identify who pays permit fees and who will submit required paperwork to local authorities and the utility.
Detail utility requirements, required tests, communication protocols, and who coordinates the interconnection study. Reference applicable interconnection standards or utility supplementals where relevant.
Specify manufacturer warranty durations and installer workmanship warranties, claim procedures, and whether repairs or replacements are included and who bears shipping or labor costs.
State contract price, payment schedule, retainage, change-order process, and the form of payment. Include remedies for late payment and conditions for withholding acceptance.

Submit before work starts; municipal review typically takes days to weeks.
Schedule rough and final inspections; inspector availability affects completion date.
Interconnection studies may take 2–12 weeks depending on complexity.
Complete functional tests before final acceptance and utility permission to operate.
Register equipment promptly to secure manufacturer coverage.
