Interconnection to the APS Grid

Once your new renewable energy system is installed you will be ready to interconnect with APS' utility system. That's a good time to review certain important processes that you and your installer need to keep in mind to avoid the risk of personal injury or property damage.

The following information will help raise your awareness of important considerations you must keep in mind as you operate your system. For more information please contact us by e-mail at Interconnect@aps.com, or by calling (602) 328-1924.

These forms are updated periodically. Please verify that you have the most recent version when applying.
