had pre-installed) so will not match yours.</span></p>

<p class="ydp22e63d16yiv0448067965MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">I find it helpful to create a separate electric sale meter for the photovoltaics and put the generator on that meter. That way, the PS-B explicitly shows the
electricity from the PV array.</span></p>
