You may choose to install solar "behind the meter" and use the generation for your home.  Under this option, your solar array is not directly connected to the BrightRidge distribution system.  Once the system is installed and the electrical inspection(s) complete, BrightRidge metering personnel will conduct a site inspection and test to ensure no generation can flow back to the electric grid in the event of a power interruption. It is critical we maintain a safe operating system, therefore, customers installing renewable energy generation systems at their property must complete an interconnection agreement for behind the meter generation.   Interconnection Agreement A completed and signed copy, along with a one-line diagram, should be submitted to contactus@brightridge.com, or mailed to: BrightRidge Attn: Marketing P.O.
