SolarAPP+ from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) allows contractors to submit residential rooftop solar plans for same-day review. Stakeholders in the pilot compared SolarAPP+ with traditional permit applications to create improvements in the system. The streamlined process reduces staff time spent on 20% of building permits stemming from residential solar projects.
