Providing a set of requirements for the local solar permitting process (for both residential and commercial solar) on an easy-to-find local government webpage represents a major step toward overcoming informational barriers. An online solar permit checklist can be a simple way for a community to accelerate permit approval timelines and save staff time. The goal of a permitting checklist is to provide clear and transparent information that will reduce the number of inquiries from solar installers and improve application quality.
