Leave to Export

The Dynamic Export Limit as Privilege in a Rooftop-Solar Connection Agreement

A jurisprudential note from the School of Emergent Priorities reads a regional distributor's flexible-export connection agreement for rooftop solar, and the fixed-limit form it replaced, through Hohfeld's eight fundamental legal conceptions. It argues that the household holds a privilege to export and no claim-right that its exports be received, that the distributor's signal is a power to which the household stands in liability, and that the upgrade from the fixed form exchanges the household's immunity during a twenty-day notice period for a doubled ceiling, leaving a recital of support for renewable generation that does no legal work.
