Who this helps
solar operations teams organizing utility application inputs without making approval claims.
Solar Interconnection Application Handoff
Prepare utility, account, meter, equipment, system-size, document, and status notes before handing a residential solar project to the interconnection team.
What to gather
- Utility and service account context
- Meter and system-size details
- Equipment and diagram status
- Application owner and open questions
Suggested workflow
- Identify the utility and current process.
- Inventory account and project inputs.
- Flag missing documents or approvals.
- Route the handoff through the utility's official workflow.
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
- Protect account details and use the team's approved secure system.
- Keep permit, interconnection, inspection, and permission-to-operate milestones separate.
- Record the official application owner, status, and next required action.
Professional review boundary
- SolarPermitPrepAI does not submit utility applications, interpret tariffs, or guarantee interconnection or permission to operate.
- Utility rules and forms must be confirmed through official channels and responsible professionals.
- Do not include unnecessary sensitive account information in generated shared notes.
Missing-item triggers
- Utility or application pathway is unknown
- Account or meter details are incomplete
- Equipment or one-line diagram is not final
- Utility review, upgrade, or study may be required
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.
Is permit approval the same as interconnection approval?
No. Track permit, utility, inspection, and permission-to-operate milestones separately.
Does this submit to the utility?
No. It prepares an internal handoff for the official utility process.
