Common rejection reasons

AI-researched, not yet verified

The most frequent reasons Oncor or Prosper kicks back a residential solar permit. Avoid these on your first submittal to skip a 7–14 day correction cycle.

  • Missing or incomplete Texas PE-stamped structural letter: Prosper Building Inspections requires a letter from a licensed Texas Professional Engineer confirming roof load capacity for all rooftop systems. Generic manufacturer load tables without PE signature are frequently rejected — confirm with the Building Inspections Division (972-346-3502) before submitting whether a lightweight flush-mount system qualifies for an exemption.
  • SLD does not show Visible, Lockable, Labeled AC Disconnect (VLLD) between inverter and Oncor meter as a distinct element: Oncor's May 2025 checklist explicitly requires the VLLD to be a separate labeled component on the one-line diagram. Drawings that omit it or show only a generic 'disconnect' are held in eTRACK pending revision.
  • Inverter UL 1741 certification not provided or unclear: Oncor will not issue an Interconnection Agreement for systems without documented UL 1741 (Utility Interactive) or UL 1741 SA/SB certification. Non-certified inverters trigger a separate technical review path that adds 2–4 weeks.
  • Site Plan does not show roof ridge, hip lines, and 3-foot clear pathways for fire access: Prosper adopts Texas Fire Code and IFC standards requiring minimum 3-foot clear access to the roof ridge. Plans lacking ridge/hip detail or showing array placement that blocks ventilation pathways are rejected at the initial plan review.
  • Contractor not pre-registered with Prosper Citizens Self-Service Portal or Oncor eTRACK: Submissions cannot be received until the contractor's account is active. Delays of 3–5 business days are common while portal registration is processed.
  • HOA Solar Non-Restriction Documentation (TX Property Code §202.010) missing or inadequate: If the property is in an HOA and approval is required, Prosper will not issue the permit until written confirmation of HOA approval (or a letter stating the HOA has no authority over solar installations) is on file. Absence of this document causes a permit hold.
  • Single-Line Diagram does not match Tariff Application equipment details (manufacturer, model, kW): Oncor's eTRACK system flags mismatches between the SLD and the interconnection application form. Common hold reasons include inverter model listed on SLD but not on the Tariff Application, or a kW value that does not match the sum of module ratings.
