FAQ

What work fits NAICS 221114?
  • Operation and maintenance contracts for utility-scale photovoltaic plants including inverter and array inspection, scheduled cleaning, corrective repairs, and preventive maintenance tied to electricity production.
  • Performance monitoring and SCADA operations delivering hourly energy production reports, availability metrics, and remote fault response as part of generation service delivery.
  • Long-term energy delivery agreements requiring on-site plant operators, site security for generating assets, and compliance with interconnection and grid code obligations.
  • Provision of generated electricity under metered delivery contracts that specify metered MWh settlement, outage coordination, and metering reconciliation procedures.
When is NAICS 221114 a weak fit?
  • Solar panel manufacturing: producing photovoltaic modules and cells lacks the electricity generation and delivery activity that defines this NAICS.
  • Electrical construction and installation: installing PV systems focuses on construction and interconnection work rather than operating a generating facility that supplies metered power.
  • Renewable energy consulting and permitting: siting, feasibility, and permitting services do not include operating a solar electric generation facility producing metered electricity.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 221114?
  • Line items that specify MWh delivery schedules, settlement periods, and metered energy acceptance criteria.
  • Performance requirements listing plant availability percentages, forced outage reporting, and liquidated damages tied to generation performance.
  • Labor categories and staffing levels for plant operator, PV technician, or SCADA operator and scheduled preventive maintenance intervals.
