1. We will need an interconnection agreement:

  • The HILCO DG Manual can be viewed and downloaded here.
  • HILCO will need the Application Form completed and returned.
  • HILCO will need the Distributed Generation Agreement completed and returned.
  • A one-line diagram of the installation. Example can be found here or in the DG Manual.
  • 2. Please forward the Application, DG Agreement, and one-line diagram completed to DGInfo@hilco.coop.
  • 3. The $250 application fee, if the solar installation is less than 50kW or $750 application fee, if greater than 50kW.
  • The application fee can be paid in any of our office locations, or
  • By mail to the attention of: HILCO Electric Cooperative, Attention DG Department, P. O. Box 127 Itasca, TX 76055, or
  • By phone with a credit card by calling 833-536-0427, (you will need your HILCO account #). It is an automated number that will allow you to submit payment.

  • 4. After reviewing the application, we will respond when you may proceed with your installation.
  • 5. When the installation is complete, please notify us for your site inspection. If the installation passes inspection, it complies with any applicable laws, and all safety features are in place, then HILCO will approve and give permission to operate your new system.
