The portal must reflect the current status of both applications so Daylight can track the project and release it for installation.
Step 1: Upload the Permit Submission
Once the permit is submitted to the AHJ, update the Permitting section with:
Permit Submission Package
Permit Submitted Date
AHJ name
Any additional supporting paperwork
The uploaded package should be the same package submitted to the AHJ.
Step 2: Upload the Interconnection Submission
Once the interconnection application is submitted to the utility, update the Interconnection section with:
Interconnection Application
Interconnection Submitted Date
Utility Assigned Project Number
Enter the utility project number exactly as provided by the utility.
If the interconnection approval is required for the specific AHJ prior to permit submission please add the note in the permit notes section.
Step 3: Keep the Project Information Current
Update the portal whenever new permit or utility information is received.
This includes:
Revised applications
Correction documents
Updated project numbers
Additional paperwork
Resubmission documents
Use the Additional Paperwork section for supporting documents that do not belong in the primary upload fields.
Step 4: Upload the Permit Approval
Once the permit is approved, upload:
Final Permit Approval
Permit Approved Date
The approval should be the stamped permit, approved plan set, or other final approval issued by the AHJ.
Do not upload the original submission package as the permit approval.
Step 5: Upload the Interconnection Approval
Once the utility approves the interconnection application, upload:
Final Interconnection Approval
Interconnection Approved Date
The document should clearly show that the project has been approved by the utility.
Do not upload an application confirmation, customer signature request, or submission receipt as the final approval.
Step 6: Submit for Daylight Review
After both approvals are uploaded and all required fields are complete, submit the package for Daylight review.
Before submitting, confirm:
Permit submission package is uploaded
Permit submitted date is correct
AHJ name is correct
Interconnection application is uploaded
Interconnection submitted date is correct
Utility Assigned Project Number is entered
Permit approval is uploaded
Permit approved date is correct
Interconnection approval is uploaded
Interconnection approved date is correct
Daylight will review the documents to confirm they belong to the correct project and that all required information is complete.
If information is missing, inaccurate, or uploaded in the wrong field, the project will be returned so the discrepancy can be corrected.
Best Practices
Upload documents on the same day they are submitted or received.
Enter dates based on the actual submission or approval date.
Upload each document to the correct field.
Make sure every document belongs to the correct customer and address.
Do not leave the portal outdated while applications are moving.
Do not submit for review until both final approvals are available.
Accurate and timely portal updates help prevent installation delays and unnecessary follow-up.
