(a) In compliance with the siting, design, interconnection, installation, and electric output standards and codes required by the laws of Oregon;

(b) Installed with meters or other devices to monitor and measure the quantity of energy generated;

(c) Permanently installed in the State of Oregon by a retail electricity consumer of the electric company;
