Summary

The bill sets up a statewide smart solar permitting system that lets contractors submit applications and receive instant approvals for code‑compliant residential solar projects. Within a year, every municipality must allow permits through this platform—or an equivalent— and may not require extra manual reviews or engineering drawings for systems 25 kW or smaller. It also adds remote virtual inspections and a public online repository of local solar rules.
