Job Description Grid Interconnection is the process by which the utility reviews the project and approves it to be energized. The Interconnection Team is responsible for managing the application for interconnection on the customer’s behalf, ensuring that SolarCity is in compliance with program rules, and coordinating the utility design reviews and site visits – all with the goal of getting the customer’s solar system up and running as quickly as possible. This team is responsible for the final steps prior to the customer powering up their system for the first time, so excitement, and sometimes tension, can run high. There is no better moment for the customer than when they see their meter running backwards for the first time!
