Who's building this
AB-01 · The person
REV 2026-08-19SunDocket is built by Seth Wise — 30+ years in app design and data systems, from enterprise systems integration and data management for companies like Discovery Communications and Cellular One to founding and shipping consumer and business software. Interconnection paperwork is, underneath, a data-systems problem: published rules, structured documents, revision tracking. That's the career, pointed at solar.
I'm based in Phoenix, Arizona — APS, SRP, and TEP territory — which is part of why the first wave leans Southwest. And this is a founder-run project: when you fill out the design-partner form, I'm the one who reads it and replies. When a wiki page is wrong, I'm the one who fixes it. There's no sales team to get routed through; the email in the footer reaches me.
AB-02 · Why this problem
REV 2026-08-19Interconnection paperwork is a strange kind of hard. The rules aren't secret — every utility publishes its requirements — but they're scattered across tariff books, form revisions, and portal quirks, they differ by territory, and they drift. So the knowledge lives in coordinators' heads and spreadsheets, and a checkbox or a stale form revision can cost a project weeks.
That's not a talent problem. It's an encoding problem — the kind software is actually good at. Rules that are published, structured, and checkable belong in a system that fills the forms right the first time. That's the whole idea: the exact requirements of your utility, encoded.
AB-03 · Where it stands, honestly
STATUS 2026-08-19- Free requirements wiki started — three sample utility pages live, compiled from public sources with citations and change logs
- Planned pricing published — nothing is billed today
- Product in development: intake wizard, packet generation, deficiency tracker
- Recruiting 5 design partners — first packets get dual human review while the software is built
Live status is tracked on the public roadmap, and the wiki's sourcing rules are published in full: how we verify requirements.
No customers yet, no testimonials, no measured stats — and none claimed anywhere on this site. When there are real numbers, they'll be published with their methodology.
Want your utility encoded first?
The first 5 design partners get 5 free filings and steer which utilities we encode.
