Automated energy-storage (ESS) permit issuance for Authorities Having Jurisdiction already on SolarAPP+. Free to activate, with no new system to learn.
Battery storage installations are growing faster than permitting workflows can keep up. Every battery-only or add-on ESS permit today means manual plan review, and staff hours your team doesn't have.
Battery-only installs with no solar — home backup and grid-tied storage.
Adding a battery to an existing solar system, including NEM 2.0 retrofits.
Uses the same code compliance checks as other SolarAPP+ permits — with instant issuance.
Storage Only runs on the platform your team already uses, so activation adds capacity without adding process.
Storage Only is generally available to every AHJ already on SolarAPP+. Contractors can confirm which permit types a jurisdiction has switched on in the live directory.

Yes. Storage Only is an add-on for Authorities Having Jurisdiction already using SolarAPP+. If your jurisdiction isn't on the platform yet, the team can set up solar and storage permit types together.
Nothing. There is no cost to local governments to implement SolarAPP+, and no cost to switch on Storage Only.
No. Storage Only uses the same platform, the same submission flow, and the same automated code compliance checks as your existing SolarAPP+ permits.
Standalone jurisdictions receive SolarAPP+ issued job cards. Gov-tech jurisdictions issue through their existing permitting platform, the same way they do today.
Yes. You set your storage permit fees and share them with the SolarAPP+ team during configuration.
That configuration (PV+ST) is already covered by standard SolarAPP+ review. Storage Only adds the two cases it didn't cover: battery-only installs and batteries added to an existing solar system, including NEM 2.0 retrofits.
Your SolarAPP+ configuration takes one conversation — go live on your timeline.
Contractors submit storage-only and add-on ESS projects the same way as solar — in the SolarAPP+ account you already have.
