When it comes time to install a new solar system, the local permitting process can be a walk in the park or a nasty bureaucratic headache. Inefficient permitting means more time waiting in lines and higher end costs for solar customers. Vote Solar launched a new campaign to empower solar advocates like you to improve solar permitting in cities nationwide.  We call it: PROJECT: PERMIT.

We are partnering with solar supporters across the country to compile data on current permitting practices.  You can see how cities measure up against best practices on our interactive permitting map.  If you don’t see data entered for your city, please consider helping us gather the information. If your hometown has high fees or long turn-around times, check out our online toolkit. You’ll find resources to help you work with city officials to make improvements.
