Utility Interconnection for Solar Application Services

We act as the interface between your solar system and the grid by taking care of the end-to-end residential and commercial solar interconnection application process, including all utility communication and preparation of technical documents to be reviewed and approved.

Finulent Solutions oversees the entire interconnect workflow - from utility research, transformer and site analysis, and compliant documentation through application submission, engineering coordination, and ultimate PTO approval - maintaining efficiency, accuracy, and regulatory compliance at each step.

This process guarantees your system is grid-compliant, utility-spec compliant, and gets a timely interconnection agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's covered with solar permitting services for commercial projects?
We cover the full plan set development, code review, interconnection forms, and application filing. Our commercial permitting package covers all city, state, and utility mandates.
Can you assist with battery storage permitting in addition to solar?
Yes, our staff handles both at the same time. We ensure energy storage elements comply with NEC codes and AHJ zoning/fire code acceptance.
How is an interconnect agreement different from a PTO letter?
An interconnection agreement is the utility’s formal approval to connect your solar or EV system to the grid. A Permission to Operate (PTO) letter is the final authorization issued after utility inspection, allowing your system to go live. Finulent ensures you receive both, accurately and on time.
How quickly can I receive AHJ permit approval?
Depending on your AHJ, it may be as quick as 48 hours through SolarAPP+ or 2–4 weeks for conventional plan review. We provide fast-track permitting where available.
Must I make a separate application for AHJ and utility approvals?
Yes. AHJ permits ensure code compliance and construction safety whereas utility approvals permit grid connection. We coordinate both processes in parallel to minimize total timeline and provide fast-track solar permits.
Do you supply stamped drawings for interconnecting solar panels approval?
Yes. We furnish PE-stamped structural and electrical plans when necessary for utility or AHJ approval.
How do I determine which AHJ serves my site?
Our site screening process involves AHJ mapping with GIS zoning tools to find out who your city or county is. AHJ Registry | Randy Majors
