CSEP Requirements for Decreases and Increases to the Solar System
CSEP solar facilities are permitted to increase up to 20 percent or 25 kW whichever is smaller. If, after submittal of an initial CSEP Registration package, an increase of up to 20 percent or 25 kW (dc) in the solar electric generating facility's generating capacity is planned, the registrant is required to notify the NJBPU at oce@bpu.nj.gov and the CSEP Processing Team at NJREINFO@NJCleanEnergy.com. An CSEP solar facility cannot increase the system’s capacity that would expand the project beyond 5 MW (dc).
For CSEP solar facilities that previously participated in the Community Solar Pilot Program, the system size can increase up to 20 percent or 25 kW (dc) from the capacity conditionally approved in the associated Board Order. The solar facility cannot increase the system’s capacity that would expand the project beyond 5 MW (dc). The CSEP does permit decreases to the original system size that was submitted with the initial CSEP registration.
