Who this helps
solar coordinators gathering electrical notes before a licensed reviewer or drafter works on the file.
PV Single-Line Diagram Checklist
Organize the electrical details commonly needed for a residential PV single-line diagram review and handoff.
What to gather
- Main service panel size
- Inverter and battery details
- Breaker and disconnect notes
- Utility interconnection context
Suggested workflow
- Enter the electrical assumptions.
- Flag unknown values.
- Generate the checklist.
- Route it to the responsible professional.
Boundary
SolarPermitPrepAI is an intake and precheck workflow. It is not an engineering stamp, permit approval, electrical design service, or legal advice.
Packet quality checklist
- Capture service-panel rating, bus rating, breaker location, inverter type, disconnect notes, and battery assumptions.
- Mark unknown electrical values as missing instead of inventing numbers.
- Add photos or labels in the project handoff so a professional can verify the field condition.
Professional review boundary
- Single-line diagrams require qualified professional review before permitting or installation.
- SolarPermitPrepAI does not calculate load, wire sizing, breaker compliance, or utility acceptance.
- Use the output to reduce intake back-and-forth, then route it to the responsible reviewer.
Missing-item triggers
- Unknown panel or busbar rating
- Battery backup or critical-loads panel included
- Line-side tap, service upgrade, or nonstandard interconnection
- Utility rules not yet confirmed
Quote handoff review
Before paying for review, confirm the address, AHJ, utility, project scope, equipment models, attachment list, and open questions. The cleaner the packet, the easier it is for a qualified professional to price and route the next step.
When the $49 packet prep is worth it
Pay only after the free precheck has an address, AHJ, project scope, equipment notes, first document list, and a qualified reviewer who can make the official decisions. The $49 review is useful for missing-item, document-owner, field-verification, reviewer-question, and quote-handoff structure. Skip payment if you need an engineering design, PE stamp, permit submission, portal login, fee payment, utility or AHJ contact, code interpretation, licensure verification, inspection readiness, construction authorization, safety advice, or guaranteed approval, interconnection, inspection, schedule, quote, payment, ranking, traffic, sales, or revenue.
Can it verify code compliance?
No. It helps organize inputs for review; qualified professionals must verify compliance.
Can I add battery notes?
Yes. Include battery, backup, and inverter notes in the project description.
