Summary

The bill would establish a statewide smart solar permitting platform that lets contractors submit applications, receive instant code‑check approvals, and get permits without manual review. Municipalities must adopt the platform or an equivalent system, and the law removes extra engineering paperwork for systems 25 kW or less, adds remote preliminary inspections, and requires annual reporting to the Office of Energy Resources.
