Licensed PE letter attesting to structural adequacy of the roof for the proposed PV array.
Frisco note: We produce a draft; your licensed PE reviews, signs, and seals before submission.
Contractor cover letter that introduces the submittal package to the plan reviewer. Editable before sending.
Frisco note: This is the installer's cover letter — not a PE-stamped engineering document. Any engineering opinion is provided separately by your licensed PE.
Licensed Professional Engineer's letter attesting to structural adequacy of the roof for the proposed PV array. Provided by your engineer of record.
Frisco note: Required if the jurisdiction or structural review calls for a sealed letter. Upload the PE-sealed PDF here. TexPTO does not generate engineering opinions.
PE-stamped structural drawings showing roof framing, attachment locations, and load path.
Frisco note: Provided by your licensed PE.
PE-stamped electrical drawings including single-line diagram, wiring layout, and disconnect locations.
Frisco note: Provided by your licensed PE.
Manufacturer datasheets for panels, inverters, and (if applicable) batteries.
Frisco note: Upload each manufacturer datasheet. Submittal package concatenates them in order.
NEC-mandated placards (rapid shutdown, PV disconnect, dual power source, etc.) sized for label printing. Requires DC voltage/current values from your design.
Frisco note: The generator will fail safely if the DC max voltage and max current aren't known — you'll be prompted to provide them.
One-page reference with all the values you'll need to type into Frisco's AvolveCloud portal. Print or keep on a second monitor while submitting.
Frisco note: Not a substitute for submission — installer still types values into the portal manually. Full portal automation is a larger future project.
AI-drafted letter to the homeowner's HOA requesting approval for the solar installation. Review, edit, and sign before sending.
Frisco note: Required only for properties in HOA-governed subdivisions. Skip if not applicable.
AI-drafted one-page narrative summarizing the project for the permit reviewer. Attach to submittal or paste into portal text areas.
Frisco note: Always review the AI output before including in submittal.
Short AI-drafted blurb sized to paste into the AHJ portal's Description of Work field (typically 150-250 words).
The most frequent reasons Oncor or Frisco kicks back a residential solar permit. Avoid these on your first submittal to skip a 7–14 day correction cycle.
