Utilities
Your crew finished. The customer’s staring at panels that aren’t doing anything. And the system can’t legally turn on until the utility issues PTO. Until then, nobody’s saving money and your final payment is on hold.
800+ utilities, each with its own forms, portal, timelines and review rules. One wrong field and the application just sits.
Interconnection and PTO can drag for weeks after install, supplemental reviews, transformer studies, inspection sign-offs.
You submit and wait. No status, no replies, and your customer asking every day when it turns on.
Final payment is usually tied to PTO. Every week it slips, your cash sits in an installed-but-dark system.
Vishtik knows the utilities, submits the full application, works the comments, and pushes it through to PTO — so the system switches on and you get paid.
