How it works
From a signed contract to a spinning meter
Most of what goes wrong in permitting is a handoff nobody owns. Hargen runs the whole span as one tracked job, and shows you where it is.
The work
Every step on a full job
This is the Plans to PTO checklist verbatim. Buy fewer stages and you run the subset that applies. The steps do not change, only where they start and stop.
- 1
Review site notes, photos, and equipment against the scope
- 2
Draft plan set and run load calculations
- 3
QC the returned set against AHJ requirements
- 4
Deliver the permit-ready plan set
- 5
Assemble and submit the permit application to the AHJ
- 6
Track plan check and answer jurisdiction comments
- 7
Record the approved permit number and issue date
- 8
Prepare and submit the utility application
- 9
Respond to utility engineering review
- 10
Confirm the final approval and deliver it to the client
Intake
What we need from you
No package needs all of these; a plan set does not need your meter number. This is the complete list a job can ask for, so nothing is a surprise.
- Site address
- System size (kW)
- Module make and model
- Inverter make and model
- Battery make and model
- Building department (AHJ)
- Service voltage
- Existing busbar rating (amps)
- Existing main breaker rating (amps)
- Service entrance
- How it ties in
- Total inverter output (kW AC)
- Rapid shutdown
- Roof covering
- Utility AC disconnect
- Property owner of record
- Electric utility
- Utility account number
- Meter number
- Account holder, exactly as printed
- Anything already generating here
- Approved permit number
- Proposed main panel rating (amps)
Missing something at intake does not stall the job silently. The project records what is outstanding, and blocks only the specific step that genuinely needs it.
When it does not go cleanly
Corrections are part of the price
Plan check comes back with comments on a healthy share of submittals. That is normal, and it is not a change order.
Included cycles
Permit Plan Sets includes one correction cycle. Plans to PTO and Complete Job include up to two with the building department.
We answer the comments
We read the plan-check letter, correct the set, and resubmit. You are told what changed, not handed the letter to interpret.
Beyond the included cycles
Additional cycles are a published add-on with a fixed price, quoted before the work, never billed after the fact.
Working together
What the engagement feels like
One thread per project
Questions, answers, and decisions live on the job, not in a mailbox. Internal notes stay internal; you see everything meant for you.
Files where the job is
Plan sets, permits, and PTO letters are attached to the project and stay there after close-out, so a warranty question years later has an answer.
Your team, and the homeowner
Add your own staff to the portal. Homeowners can get a single-project view with status only, never your pricing or internal notes.
Money with a stated schedule
You see the payment schedule before you accept. Installments charge only when their stated trigger is reached, and nothing charges without acceptance.
Start with a single job.
Send the site address, the AHJ, and the equipment list. We confirm scope and price before any work begins.
