Solar/Net Metering Policy
|
If you are installing a PV system, please be aware that Logan City does not have an incentive
program.
However, we do offer NET METERING. |
|
| Read about Logan City's NET METERING program | |
You may also be eligible for
State and Federal Tax Incentives.
Please do your research
carefully.

Please note, if you are a solar dealer, installer, or distributor and would like to be included on this list, please e-mail the Conservation Cordinator.
PLEASE NOTE: Logan City building codes and inspectors will require specific inspections and submittal of plans and other information in order to issue a building permit required under this program. Building inspections and a "signed-off" building permit are required prior to final inspection by LCL&P and setting of the meter. Any inspections performed by LCL&P are not to be considered a safety inspection in lieu of inspections required by building officials.
Recommendations:
Wiring: We highly recommend that the installer be familiar with NEC 690 and good installation practices. The wiring greatly contributes to the performance of a PV system. Contractors should be well versed in electrical codes and utility standards.
Orientation: There must be a location on the property for a system facing +/-90° true solar south. Ideally, a system should be sited at +/-15° of true solar south.
Tilt: There is no requirement, but ideal tilt angles for Northern Utah are between 36° and 51°
Inverter Location: The inverter should be installed according to manufacturer's recommendations. It is a recommend that the inverter be installed out of the sun. For low voltage (48V or less) inverters, it is recommend to minimize the distance from the PV array to the inverter. The location of the inverter is a factor in PV system production. Efficiency diminishes substantially when inverters are subjected to heat. It is advised to located the inverter in a shaded northerly location or inside a garage or other structure. Direct sunlight is not advised.
