Learn how to use SolarAPP+, an online platform to automate the permitting process for residential rooftop solar projects. In this training, you will learn how to input project specifications for four different inverter technologies. SolarAPP+ saves time and cost by reducing permitting department workloads through its automatic checking system designs for safety and code compliance.

Learn how a code official can use the SolarAPP+ inspection checklist to perform an efficient and effective inspection of solar PV systems permitted through SolarAPP+. The approval document that contains the inspection checklist replaces a traditional plan set. The inspection checklist is dynamically generated for each job, while providing one consistent format as opposed to the varied plan sets inspectors are used to seeing. This training explains how the inspection checklist is generated, and how the inspector can complete a full inspection from the main panel to the roof in the same or less time than traditional practices.
