How SolarAPP+ Works

1

Create a New Project

Licensed installers enter system design details into SolarAPP+ using a guided interface that ensures all elements of the plan review are captured and automatically performs a detailed compliance check against applicable and up-to-date structural, fire, electrical codes, and product safety standards.
2

Instant Feedback

SolarAPP+ references approved equipment lists and enforces the jurisdiction’s adopted codes. The software is compatible with 2017 NEC and later editions, 2018 I-codes and later editions, and many state-specific code editions If non-compliant or erroneous information is entered, SolarAPP+ immediately flags the issue within the platform, with context, so contractors can address the issue without back-and-forth reviews.
3

Permit Issued

Once plan info is verified as compliant, contractors submit payment and receive the final approval documents. One of the approval documents for a code-compliant system is the inspection checklist. This checklist provides detailed information for an inspector to easily review the varying sections and components of the plan and verify compliance.

Robust API Integration for Easier Workflows

The API integration with SolarAPP+ benefits jurisdictions by allowing governments to seamlessly integrate approval documents directly within their system of record. Installers benefit from integrating SolarAPP+ with their design tools to pre-populate permit fields from their preferred system design software.
