System Information

Existing CPG Number

If you do not know the CPG number, use the search of net-metering cases to find it.

If any part of the system is ground-mounted, select "No."

System Location

For the system location, the Town must be selected from the drop-down menu, which includes a list of all Vermont towns, incorporated villages, gores, and unincorporated areas.
