- SolarAPP+ is a free online platform developed by the U.S. Department of Energy to streamline and automate the permitting process for residential solar energy systems. SolarAPP+ standardizes plan reviews and compliance checks, allowing for faster approval of permits, reducing administrative burdens for local governments, and expediting solar adoption.
- The program will provide grants to permitting units of government that may be used for costs associated with adopting and implementing SolarAPP+, as well as costs associated with updating residential electrical and other codes, if needed to meet SolarAPP+ requirements. These grants are funded by congressionally approved and lawfully awarded funds from the U.S. EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Solar for All program.
