How long do you expect it to take?

Related: I've been trying to get my electric company to register the meters they installed in August so I can get billed properly. It's been months of back and forth. I just want to pay them money for electricity, it's all I want from them.

Had a similar situation back in 2018/2019. Electric company offered a flat rate for electric vehicle charging but you needed to install a second meter. Took them forever to install the actual meter (it had been jumped by the electricians and covered by cardboard) and then months of not being billed for it.

California can permit standard residential installations same-day with SolarAPP+

That's fantastic, I wish simple things could be permitted that fast here. It takes weeks for simple stuff to get approved here.
