Who this helps
solar installers and permit coordinators checking if a simple residential project may fit a faster intake path.
SolarAPP Permit Intake
Collect the design details installers often need before checking whether a residential PV project may fit a SolarAPP+ style workflow.
What to gather
- Residential project basics
- Equipment configuration
- Battery or backup exceptions
- Manual review triggers
Suggested workflow
- Describe the project.
- Add equipment notes.
- Flag exceptions.
- Use the output as a conversation starter, not a determination.
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
- Collect basic residential scope, equipment configuration, battery notes, and any exception triggers before screening.
- Record why the project may need manual review so the next person does not repeat the same intake questions.
- Confirm all SolarAPP+ and AHJ requirements with official sources before proceeding.
Professional review boundary
- SolarPermitPrepAI does not determine SolarAPP+ eligibility.
- Official SolarAPP+, utility, and AHJ requirements must be checked by the installer or responsible professional.
- Use this as an intake organizer, not as approval, design, or code advice.
Missing-item triggers
- Battery, backup, service upgrade, or structural exception
- Missing equipment model details
- AHJ not participating or requiring local forms
- Project scope unclear enough to need manual screening
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.
Does it determine SolarAPP eligibility?
No. It only collects inputs that may be relevant before a proper eligibility check.
Should I still verify manually?
Yes. Confirm all SolarAPP+ and local requirements through official or professional channels.
