By using automated permitting technology like SolarAPP+, we can halve the cost of solar in the US at no cost to government. I started SolarAPP+ just 4 years ago and now it's ready to scale. 1/2.

Join me in urging the US Conference of Mayors to implement automated online solar permitting platforms like SolarAPP+ to reduce permit review time for solar energy or energy storage systems. As co-chair of the campaign, I'm excited to help propel solar professionals forward.
You can help set this plan in motion by sending a note to the energy committee co-chairs and staff person expressing your organization's strong support. Here is a sample letter. 3/3.
