Instant Solar Permit

Instant Solar Permits Now Available through SolarAPP+

Solar installation contractors are now able to apply for the City's new Instant Solar Permit by utilizing SolarAPP+, an automated online portal for permitting new residential rooftop solar and storage systems. SolarAPP+ helps streamline the permitting process by instantly issuing a solar permit for code-compliant systems.

The Instant Solar Permit is only for use by contractors registered with SolarAPP+ and accommodates roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panel installations with or without an energy storage system. A main electrical service upgrade can be added to the Instant Solar Permit. To see which systems are eligible, refer to the SolarAPP+ Eligibility Checklist. Only those systems included in the lists are eligible for this type of permit.

For questions, email the City of San Jacinto Building Division.
