This letter constitutes "express written permission" to operate your 30 kW photovoltaic
generating system installed at 26379 W Fremont Rd in Los Altos Hills, in parallel with
Pacific Gas and Electric Company's electric distribution system. As you are aware, such
"express written permission" is required under PG&E's Electric Rule 21 and your
Interconnection Agreement with PG&E.
PG&E's authorization for you to operate your facility is subject to all the terms and
conditions of Rule 21, your Interconnection Agreement, and any other applicable rules,
tariffs, laws, and regulations. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Pursuant to Rule 21 section B.5, PG&E's authorization to operate "shall not be

4. CUSTOMER BILLING AND PAYMENT
Customer -Generators Other Than Wind Energy Co -Metering Customer Generators
Except as otherwise provided for eligible Wind Energy Co -Metering Customer -Generators
covered in Special Condition 5 of the E -NET tariff, Customer -Generator initially selects
PG&E's electric rate schedule referenced in Section 2.6 of this Agreement as its otherwise -
applicable rate schedule. Customer -Generator understands:
Customer -Generator will be billed and is required to pay monthly for all applicable charges
due under Customer -Generator's otherwise -applicable rate schedule, unless Customer -
Generator is a residential or small commercial customer. If Customer -Generator is a
residential or small commercial customer, the Customer -Generator may pay annually for
energy charges and will only be required to pay monthly for all non -energy charges (i.e., non -
per -kilowatt-hour charges)..
At the end of every twelve (12) month period, or other reconciliation period as provided in
Schedule E -NET, the Customer -Generator's charges will be totaled, including the monthly
non -energy charges and the charge for any net -energy consumption as defined in Schedule
E -NET. The Customer -Generator's total payments for the twelve (12) months or other
reconciliation period as provided in Schedule E -NET will then be subtracted from the total
charges. The Customer -Generator will then be billed for any balance due. If the Customer -
Generator has overpaid for the energy it consumed, a credit will be applied to the next
month's bill.

INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT FOR NET ENERGY METERING OF SOLAR OR WIND ELECTRIC
GENERATING FACILITIES OF 1,000 KILOWATTS OR LESS, OTHER THAN RESIDENTIAL OR SMALL
COMMERCIAL FACILITIES OF 10 KILOWATTS OR LESS
Wind Energy Co -Metering Customer -Generators
The eligible Wind Energy Co -Metering Customer -Generator with wind energy Generating
Facilities greater than 50 kilowatts (kW) but not exceeding 1,000 kW initially selects a time -
of -use electric rate schedule referenced in Section 2.6 of this Agreement as its otherwise -
applicable rate schedule. The Customer -Generator understands:
Subject to Special Condition 2 of the E -NET tariff, the generation of electricity provided to
PG&E by a Wind Energy Co -Metering Customer -Generator shall result in a credit to the
eligible Customer -Generator priced in accordance with the generation component of the
energy charge,of the eligible Customer -Generator's otherwise -applicable rate schedule for
the account, excluding generation surcharges from Schedule E -EPS and any other
surcharges to cover the purchase of power by the Department of Water Resources. All
electricity supplied to the Wind Energy Co -Metering Customer -Generator by PG&E shall be
priced in accordance with the Customer -Generator's otherwise -applicable rate schedule.
At the end of each twelve (12) month period (as described in Special Condition 2 of the E -
NET tariff) if the electricity fed back to the electric grid by the eligible Customer -Generator
exceeds the electricity supplied to the eligible Customer -Generator by PG&E, the eligible
Customer -Generator is'a Wind Energy Co -Metering producer. The maximum generation
credit for a Wind Energy Co -Metering producer will be calculated as provided in Special
Condition 5 of the E -NET tariff.
Any credit for excess energy (kWh) over this maximum will be retained by PG&E and the
Wind Energy Co -Metering producer will not be owed any compensation for excess energy.
5. TERM AND TERMINATION
