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
-
Submit through SolarAPP+: Contractors first complete the automated compliance review on the SolarAPP+ website.
-
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.
-
-
Permit Issuance: Within Baseline, contractors pay the required fees and immediately receive an issued solar permit.
-
Begin Work & Schedule Inspections: Once the permit is issued, contractors may begin installation work immediately and request the required inspections.
