Rule 21 Overview: What you need to know  

Presented by: Jock Paterson, Technical Sales Advisor, Fronius USA

Rule 21 refers to the generator interconnection requirements of each Californian Investor-Owned Utility (IOU). A years-long process has been underway to update Rule 21 with “smart inverter” requirements. Rule 21 requires inverters to have new functions and a new certification under UL 1741. Inverters also get a new nameplate label that identifies it as a “Grid Support Utility Interactive Inverter.” As a driving force for smart grid integrated inverters find out how Fronius will implement the new regulation with certifications and more.

Wells Fargo Senior Economist Gary Schlossberg will discuss the state of the U.S. economy and provide an overview for Soligent dealers of what monetary policy is, how the Federal Reserve uses tools to influence the economy, and what it all means for your business over the next year. 

The U.S. economy is in a transformative period, moving from adjustment to the 2008-09 financial upheaval and subsequent adjustment to a more “normal” economic cycle, complete with fundamental changes in economic and monetary policy. We’ll discuss these changes and how they might affect the outlook over the next year and beyond for an economy facing the usual late-cycle “headwinds” and ongoing structural weaknesses contributing to moderate, stop-go growth in the past eight years. We’ll also discuss how interest rates might be affected as the Federal Reserve attempts to nudge them higher in an environment of low inflation and with a minimal effect on financial-market stability, the role of fiscal stimulus in supporting economic growth and in shaping the outlook for interest rates and how international conditions affect U.S. economic performance.
