Concerns of climate change combined with the availability and affordability of green technology has encouraged many consumers to explore the energy system of solar-powered houses, including solar panels that can be installed on someone’s roof. The Department of Energy has announced a new fast track tool designed to help get automatic consumer permits to install housing solar panels, making the whole process easier.
Compared to a decade ago, the cost of a solar powered house energy system has decreased by around 90 percent. It was a substantial decline, making a solar system is a more affordable choice for many homeowners who want to reduce their dependence on traditional resources.
Although the decline in solar power, installation costs remain relatively high and quoted by people in the US as the biggest thing that prevents them from moving forward with housing upgrades. With that thought, the Department of Energy has announced the initiative of “Summer of Solar 2021”.
In this initiative, DOE has launched an automatic diesel (SolarApp +) processing tool in the US. With this, Doe explained, the regional government will be able to quickly review and approve the request for delayed permits for housing solar installations. Doe anticipates this tool “drastically” reduces obstacles that come by installing a solar system at home.
According to the Department of Energy, some consumers in the US were forced to wait for months to get solar power licenses. In these places, solar installation companies tend to offer their services because of uncertainty with the permit process, making it more difficult for consumers to add the solar energy system to their homes.
That’s where the SolarApp + entry tool, with DOE Energy Secretary Jennifer M. Granholm stated:
We tracked fast American clean energy by cutting red ribbons to make it cheaper and easier for homeowners to access the power from the sun. SolarApp + will go bankrupt through the bureaucracy to accelerate permission, help homeowners faster add solar panels on their roof, add gigawatts of clean electricity to the country’s grid, while creating good payment work. Today, I challenge the area throughout the country to bring SolarApp + right to their hometown.
