To increase the use of residential solar energy systems, HF5171 and SF5271 will grant financial incentives to permitting authorities charged with the application approval process to utilize SolarAPP, a solar automated software system. This program is offered by the US Department of Energy free of charge. It will greatly simplify and streamline the approval time, a process which now is inefficient, bureaucratic and costly. The grant also requires the local permitting authorities to reach out to the wider community, through workshops and other educational tools, to increase their awareness of the importance of applying for this significant source of clean, renewable energy.
Message: The use of clean, renewable solar energy is vital to our lives and our planet. Please support HF5171 and SF5271 which establish a program to award financial incentives to permitting authorities that install an automated software system to review and issue permits for residential solar energy projects.
