Solar Permitting Process through SolarAPP+

Rum River Consultants is excited to offer the SolarAPP+ platform in the below jurisdictions:

Lauderdale  -  Nowthen  -   Osseo  -   Ravenna  -  Robbinsdale

What is SolarAPP+?

 

SolarAPP+ is a web-based platform that allows licensed contractors to quickly complete the code compliance review process for eligible residential roof-mounted photovoltaic designs for automated review through SolarAPP+ and submit an online application for an auto-issued permit.

How it Works

  1. Submit through SolarAPP+: Contractors first complete the automated compliance review on the SolarAPP+ website.

  2. Apply in Baseline: After receiving approval from SolarAPP+, contractors then log into Baseline and select the project type “SolarAPP+” to submit their permit application. 

    • Please note, the contractor will need their SolarAPP+ Project ID in order to proceed with the application in Baseline.

  3. Permit Issuance: Within Baseline, contractors pay the required fees and immediately receive an issued solar permit.

  4. Begin Work & Schedule Inspections: Once the permit is issued, contractors may begin installation work immediately and request the required inspections.

 

Eligible Projects

 

Automated Solar Plan Review

​Before applying for an automated solar review and solar permit, projects must follow certain requirements.

  • SolarAPP+ is designed to provide a code-compliance check for the majority of residential, roof-mounted, retrofit photovoltaic systems.

SolarAPP+ may only be used for:

  • Residential roof-mounted photovoltaic system installations.

 

Important Notes

  • Commercial, ground-mounted, and other non-residential solar projects are not eligible for SolarAPP+.

  • All inspections must be requested and scheduled through Baseline after permit issuance.
