Engaging With Local Governments to Maximize Your Revenue

By partnering with local governments, solar and storage companies will unleash new opportunities to reduce solar costs, speed up installations, increase the customer base, and maximize profits. In this session, we’ll show why engaging with two programs funded by the Department of Energy will help achieve these results. The SolSmart program offers free technical assistance to help local governments streamline permitting, zoning, and other requirements that impact solar energy growth. SolarAPP+ offers local governments an instant online permitting program at no cost to speed the approval of rooftop solar projects. Together, these two programs offer local governments strong solutions for increasing solar adoption while reducing installation costs and shortening permit review timelines.
