Online Solar Permitting
Solar APP+

As a new option, for projects that meet minimum requirements, licensed contractors may complete an application first using SolarAPP+ in lieu of submitting construction plans and other required supplemental technical documentation to the Permit Center.

Projects must follow requirements outlined in the Eligibility Checklist to use SolarAPP+. The Eligibility Checklists can be found here.

At this time, owner-builder or projects that included Energy Storage Systems are not eligible for SolarAPP+.

SolarAPP+, short for Solar Automated Permit Processing, is an online web portal that automates the plan review process for permits to qualified businesses or individuals to install code-compliant residential photovoltaic (PV) systems. Based on model building, electrical, and fire codes, SolarAPP automatically performs a compliance check based on inputs supplied by the contractor to ensure the proposed system is safe and code compliant. Installation practices, workmanship, and adherence to the approved design are then verified by the AHJ through the inspection process.

To get started on SolarAPP+, click here. Please note that SolarAPP+ is an additional $25.00 paid directly to SolarAPP+.

For SolarAPP+ FAQs, click here.

Once an approval is received from SolarAPP+, a permit application shall be submitted online via eTRAKiT or at the Permit Center. City of Rocklin permit fees and inspections shall apply.
