Prior to installing the PV, the AHj/Utility will need to do a Mounting Bracket Inspection. Please ensure that we schedule the mounting bracket inspection, if possible, on the day of our solar installation to prevent multiple trips back to the service address.

Once permit/approval has been received > Install Mounting Bracket > AHJ/Utility inspects Mounting Bracket > Install PV Panels > Schedule Inspection

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with City of La Junta before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
