From one jurisdiction to the next, when SolarAPP+ is implemented you know what to expect and can consistently secure a permit through one form.

Compliance checks at your fingertips

SolarAPP+ automatically checks your designs against your building, fire and electrical safety codes and standards, and integrates error messaging that flags where corrections need to be made, leading to fewer failed inspections.

1. Get Verified

SolarAPP+ is only available to licensed contractors. Once you've registered, submit your business and city licenses to our license verification team.

2. Get Started

Though SolarAPP+ is different from submitting plans, you simply answer project questions as you go through the platform, which allows for automated code compliance checks.

3. Get It Right

If you encounter any errors during plan review, SolarAPP+ details the issue, and provides in-line support, or a live technician, to get your permit application right.

4. Get a Permit

Once information is entered and approved, you simply submit the permit payment, are issued a job card or permit that allows deployment, and receive an inspection checklist to get your project to completion faster.

5. Get Help

Whether within the platform or through SolarAPP+ Assist—live sessions with a technical support specialist—our dedicated team is hard at work answering your questions.
