Key takeaways

Palmdale's high solar resource does not eliminate the need to model heat and soiling. Battery value depends on outage goals and the customer's SCE tariff.
Climate and property considerations
High-desert heat, wind, dust, temperature swings, and smoke exposure make attachment engineering, equipment temperature ratings, and soiling assumptions material.
Interconnection
SCE's Rule 21 process governs interconnection; SCE must issue Permission to Operate before parallel operation.
Dated official sources
These primary sources are tied to the local claims above. Re-check them before signing because rules and program terms change.
