Question 1

Who is WattWrit for?

Accepted Answer

WattWrit is for U.S. contractors working in solar, HVAC, electrical, and home electrification. Projects may include heat pumps, EV chargers, solar plus storage, and electrical panel upgrades.

Question 2

How is a project meant to move toward permit preparation?

Accepted Answer

Start with the project name, work type, and U.S. site address. The intended workflow is to bring useful project details together, organize them into a permit-preparation package, then have a person review flagged checks and confirm current local requirements. Today, the project form collects basic job details; package generation and download are not available yet.

Question 3

What project details should I gather?

Accepted Answer

Along with the address, city, county, and state, gather the permitting authority or utility context if known; equipment manufacturer, model, quantity, and available nameplate or specification details; current photos of relevant site and electrical equipment; and load calculations with their supporting inputs or assumptions, if prepared or available.

Question 4

Can WattWrit generate or download a permit-preparation package now?

Accepted Answer

No. A downloadable permit-preparation package is the intended next step, but package generation and download are not available yet. WattWrit does not currently produce jurisdiction-verified packages.

Question 5

Who reviews flagged checks and confirms local requirements?

Accepted Answer

A person must review flagged checks in the intended workflow. Contractors must also confirm current requirements with the permitting authority for each project jurisdiction and, where applicable, the serving utility. Requirements vary by location; WattWrit is not jurisdiction-specific permitting advice.

Question 6

Does WattWrit submit permit applications through authority portals?

Accepted Answer

No. Organizing a permit-preparation package is separate from filing an application. Portal submission is unavailable until supported integrations with the relevant authority portals exist.

Question 7

Can WattWrit track a permit application’s status?

Accepted Answer

No. Permit-status tracking is unavailable until supported integrations exist. WattWrit does not currently sync application status from authority portals.
