SI2 Model Policy: Automated Rooftop Permitting  

Overview  

To meet energy demand, and provide American households with affordable energy options,  more rooftop solar and storage systems must be installed across the country.

The Solar and Storage Industries Institute (SI2) model state legislation encourages the adoption of automated rooftop solar permitting software.  This establishes baseline standards around residential solar permitting and prevents local governments from unreasonably restricting solar development.

SolarAPP+, an  automated rooftop solar permitting software, helps to lower the cost of rooftop solar permitting and inspection to governments, homeowners, and solar businesses by standardizing, streamlining and automating the permitting process.  

As states grapple with meeting their clean energy goals, one of the easiest and most cost-effective steps they can take is to increase the efficiency of their rooftop solar permitting process.”
