Solar project operations

Solar interconnection and PTO support

Utility interconnection and permission-to-operate work often stalls on missing documents, unanswered deficiency notices, or unclear next milestones.

Hargen helps residential solar contractors track applications, follow up administratively, and keep CRM records current while utility timelines remain outside anyone's full control.

What we can take on

Support application setup and submission using information and documents you provide
Organize utility-required packets before and after submission
Track application status across portals, email, and utility correspondence
Respond to administrative deficiency notices with contractor-provided information
Follow up on missing approvals, forms, or customer documents holding the file open
Track meter, inspection, commissioning, and final-document dependencies tied to interconnection
Follow up on permission-to-operate status and record what the utility still needs
Log utility correspondence and clear next actions in your CRM or shared trackers
Escalate stalled items to your team with a concise summary of blockers and decisions needed

When this helps

Interconnection applications sit in "submitted" with no documented follow-up
Utility deficiency notices wait for someone to gather the right attachments
Jobs are installed but PTO is still open because paperwork or meter steps were never owned
CRM status does not match the latest utility email
Your team needs a weekly view of which interconnection files are blocked and why

What we need from you

Utility portal access or a defined handoff process for submissions and status checks
Approved equipment lists, application forms, and site documents for each job
Authority boundaries for what we may submit or reply to without further approval
A contractor contact for technical, ownership, or customer decisions

Example outputs

Application and milestone status tracking for assigned jobs
Deficiency response checklists tied to utility requests
PTO follow-up notes and open-item lists
CRM or tracker updates that match the latest utility correspondence
Escalation summaries when a decision or field action is required

Boundaries

Hargen provides remote administrative and operations support for contractors. For this service specifically:

We cannot control utility processing times
We cannot guarantee interconnection approval or PTO
We do not perform engineering studies or technical design decisions
We do not sign as the contractor, system owner, customer, or engineer unless a lawful and explicitly approved administrative authorization exists
We do not act as contractor of record
We do not perform field labor or meter work

How engagement begins

1Share the interconnection or PTO jobs that need ownership
2We confirm portals, documents, and what replies we are allowed to send
3We begin status follow-up and keep your records aligned to what the utility actually said

Solar permitting and inspection support

Residential solar permits and inspections stall when nobody has time to organize submissions, chase AHJ comments, or schedule the next appointment.

Solar project backlog and CRM cleanup

When CRM statuses conflict, documents are missing, and jobs lack a clear next action, the pipeline becomes hard to manage even if sales and installs are still moving.
