WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Customer has requested to interconnect its Customer-owned renewable generation, 10 kW AC or less, to FPL’s electrical service grid at the Customer’s presently metered location. NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth, the Parties hereto covenant and agree as follows: 1. Definitions 1.1 Gross Power Rating means the total manufacturer’s AC nameplate generating capacity of an on-site customer-owned renewable generation system that will be interconnected to and operate in parallel with FPL’s distribution facilities. For inverter-based systems, the AC nameplate generating capacity shall be calculated by multiplying the total installed DC nameplate generating capacity by 0.85 in order to account for losses during the conversion from DC to AC. 1.2 Capitalized Terms shall have the meanings set forth in Florida Public Service Commission Rule 25-6.065 F.A.C. Interconnection and Net Metering of Customer-owned renewable generation. 2. Customer Qualification and Fees 2.1. Customer-owned renewable generation shall have a Gross Power Rating that: a) does not exceed 90% of the Customer’s utility distribution service rating; and b) is 10 kW AC or less. 7.32 Gross Power Rating for the Customer-owned renewable generation is _________________kW AC. 2.2. The Customer shall not be required to pay any application fee for this Tier 1 Customer-owned renewable generation system. 2.3. In order to commence the process for interconnection the Customer shall provide FPL a completed application. 3. General Responsibilities of the Parties 3.1. Customer-owned renewable generation shall be considered certified for interconnected operation if it has been submitted by a manufacturer to a nationally recognized testing and certification laboratory, and has been tested and listed by the laboratory for continuous interactive operation with an electric distribution system in compliance with the applicable codes and standards of IEEE 1547, IEEE 1547.1, and UL 1741. 3.2. Customer-owned renewable generation shall include a utility-interactive inverter, or other device certified pursuant to Section 3.1 above, that performs the function of automatically isolating the Customer-owned generation equipment from the electric grid in the event the electric grid loses power. 3.3. The Customer shall be responsible for protecting its Customer-owned renewable generation equipment, inverters, protective devices, and other system components from damage from the normal and abnormal conditions and operations that occur on the FPL system in delivering and restoring power; and shall be responsible for ensuring that Customer-owned renewable generation equipment is inspected, maintained, and tested in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure that it is operating correctly and safely. 3.4. The Customer agrees to provide Local Building Code Official inspection and certification of installation.

Inspection and On-going Compliance 4.1 FPL will provide Customer with as much notice as reasonably practicable; either in writing, e-mail, facsimile or by phone as to when FPL may conduct inspection and/or document review. Upon reasonable notice, or at any time without notice in the event of an emergency or hazardous condition, FPL shall have access to the Customer's premises for the purpose of accessing the manual disconnect switch, performing an inspection or disconnection, or, if necessary, to meet FPL’s legal obligation to provide service to its Customers. 5. Manual Disconnect Switch 5.1 U.L.1741 Listed, inverter-based Tier 1 customer-owned renewable generation systems do not require a customer-installed manual disconnect switch. 5.2 Other customer-owned Tier 1 renewable generation systems that are not U.L. 1741 inverter based. FPL shall require the Customer to install, at the Customer’s expense, a manual disconnect switch of the visible load break type to provide a separation point between the AC power output of the Customer-owned renewable generation and any Customer wiring connected to FPL’s system. The manual disconnect switch shall be mounted separate from, but adjacent to, the FPL meter socket. The Customer shall ensure that such manual disconnect switch shall remain readily accessible to FPL and be capable of being locked in the open position with a single FPL utility padlock. 5.3 In the event that FPL has determined with respect to the Customer-owned renewable generation that the installation of a manual disconnect switch or switches adjacent to FPL’s meter socket would not be practical from a safety perspective and/or design considerations in accordance with good engineering practices; and FPL and the customer agree upon a location on the customer’s premises for the switch or switches which meet all applicable safety and/or design considerations, then, pursuant to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 above, each manual disconnect switch shall be mounted separate from FPL’s meter socket at a location agreed to by the Customer and FPL, and the customer shall install a permanent weather-proof plaque adjacent to FPL’s meter socket indicating the location of the manual disconnect switch or switches. 6. Disconnection / Reconnection 6.1 FPL may open the manual disconnect switch, if available, or disconnect the Customer’s meter, pursuant to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 below, isolating the Customer-owned renewable generation, without prior notice to the Customer. To the extent practicable, however, prior notice shall be given. If prior notice is not given, FPL shall at the time of disconnection leave a door hanger notifying the Customer that its Customer-owned renewable generation has been disconnected, including an explanation of the condition necessitating such action. FPL will reconnect the Customer-owned renewable generation as soon as practicable after the condition(s) necessitating disconnection has been remedied. (Continued on Sheet No. 9.052) Issued by: S. E. Romig, Director, Rates and Tariffs Effective: February 20, 2014 First Revised Sheet No. 9.052 Cancels Original Sheet No. 9.052 FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY (Continued from Sheet No. 9.051) 6.2 FPL has the right to disconnect the Customer-owned renewable generation at any time. This may result for the following reasons: a) Emergencies or maintenance requirements on FPL’s system; b) Hazardous conditions existing on FPL’s system due to the operation of the Customer’s generating or protective equipment as determined by FPL; and c) Adverse electrical effects, such as power quality problems, on the electrical equipment of FPL’s other electric consumers caused by the Customer-owned renewable generation as determined by FPL. 7.
