Question:  Please define a capacity allocation exempt facility as it pertains to roof-top solar pv installations. Specifically, can i install a 310KW DC system that will produce 250KW AC and still be treated as a CAE facility?
Answer:  The term capacity allocation exempt is not specific to a solar PV facility, it is applicable for all generation types.

As per OEB codes, capacity allocation exempt means a distribution connected project that is either:

- 250 kW or less on lines that are less than 15 kV

- 500 kW or less on lines that are greater than 15 kV

The kW here makes refers to AC power.
