Improving solar permitting is a collaborative effort

The development of the SolarAPP+ platform was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory worked with a variety of partners to ensure that SolarAPP+ provides code compliant reviews of rooftop solar and solar plus storage systems.

Building codes are critical to ensuring the safety, accessibility, and resilience of our build environment. Leaders in building code creation and enforcement have contributed their expertise to ensure that the code compliance check at the heart of SolarAPP+™ is accurate and effective.
