Once Greentech Renewables receives the job at NTP, major equipment orders can be placed. Greentech invoices EnFin directly for payment processing. Project then moves to 'Ready for M2'.
Review time dependent on when Greentech sends the final invoice to EnFin through integration.
Execute loan documents with homeowners and EnFin
Order panels, inverters, racking, and other materials through Greentech
Include Financer Name & Lender Loan ID in order details
Notify Greentech once order is complete to proceed with disbursement
Go into Partner Portal and make sure under disbursement to check the box which states this invoice has been sent over to Greentech rep

1. M2 Photo Checklist
a. House Number
b. Installed Panels and/or Installed Battery
i. For projects with battery, one “stand back” photo of entire wall showing battery installed and one “close up” photo of the battery installed): house number, panels installed, workmanship quality, nameplate shots, etc.
c. Workmanship
i. Shows panels neat and clean.
d. Solar Panel Nameplate

• 1 of bump on back of panel
• 1 of the serial number
2. Customer confirmation of installation (if PI is on enhanced confirmations calls)
The project passed final inspection, and the utility granted Permission to Operate (PTO).
EnFin review – 1-3 business days
1. PTO Letter: From utility, must show customer address and PTO date
OR
2. 7+ Days Monitoring Screenshot showing system production and address
Battery only PTO:
For battery only projects, we require monitoring portal screenshot with battery information and system showing active production, along with Homeowners address
For battery only loans, any existing system needs to be paid off unless it’s an EnFin system, which at that point would have had to reach PTO
For instance, do NOT apply for PTO until you reach “Ready for M3” status. Doing so violates financing covenants and risks funding for that project.
A project is approved by EnFin to move forward with the EnFin TPO Product. Once all TPO requirements are met and the necessary documentation is uploaded to the Partner Portal by the Partner Installer and approved by EnFin, the project advances to the Work Order Sent stage.
