Request a pre-application report from PSE&G
Default fee $300. New Jersey's PAVE pre-application process (a standard pre-application report with a fixed fee) may not be live at every utility yet. Where it is not, the utility's interconnection contact handles the request under its own procedure; the fee and content may differ. Fill the bracketed fields before sending.
Send it through the utility's interconnection page: https://nj.pseg.com/saveenergyandmoney/solarandrenewableenergy/solarpowersustanibility
