From Application to Permission to Operate

Utility Interconnection Workflow

The interconnection stage is where solar projects stall most. SolarIntake keeps every application moving with document checklists, status tracking, and deadline reminders.

The Problem

Utility interconnection applications get lost in email threads. Utilities reject incomplete applications. Missing one document delays PTO by 30-60 days and holds up your final payment.

Documents Collected Automatically

Interconnection application form
Single-line electrical diagram
Equipment list and specifications

How It Works

1

Interconnection application stage

Move project to Utility Interconnection. Pre-populated checklist shows all required documents by utility.

2

Submit application

Upload complete application package. Log submission date and utility reference number.

3

Track utility requests

When utility requests additional info, log it in activity feed. Upload supplemental documents.

4

PTO received — project complete

Upload PTO letter. Mark project complete. Activity log creates a full paper trail for your records.
