GAF Backlog projects will require Monitoring Site ID at Installation (M1)
What We're Looking For:
Site access is provided (site owner designation not recommended until M2)
Cell kits and Revenue Grade Metering (RGM) are required on all projects. If equipment is placed indoors and the signal is weak, a cellular signal booster may be required. If cellular service is unavailable for the area, a wireless gateway or ethernet connection is required to establish remote monitoring (uncommon scenario).
What to Submit
All Activation submissions must provide:
The monitoring site ID for the PV system
If Battery Installed: Battery monitoring ID (*See Details below)
The monitoring ID is typically 6-7 digits, and is created from the manufacturer's monitoring site, after the site is commissioned (aka physically tested on site).
For Activation M2 submissions, monitoring site IDs are required. Full system activation and sharing direct portal access (DPA) to LightReach is a requirement at this stage.
Examples of Site IDs:
SolarEdge, typically 7 digits
Taken from the SolarEdge monitoring portal (monitoring.solaredge.com)
Enphase, typically 6 digits
Taken from the Enphase monitoring portal (enlighten.enphaseenergy.com)
Tesla, typically alpha numeric string
Taken from the Tesla monitoring portal (powerhub.energy.tesla.com)
Battery Monitoring ID (If Applicable)
If Battery & Inverter are same manufacturer: Battery monitoring ID is the same site ID number.
If Battery & Inverter are different manufacturers: There will be two separate site IDs. This will be in the same format as the above examples.
Enphase Inverter: Provide site ID per above sample
Tesla Battery: Provide site ID per above sample
