Permitting Linked To Innovation. It was June of 2018 when I sat in a backyard in Alameda and Andrew Birch talked about the idea I called utopian, a standard permitting process that would allow for solar to get installed the next day. That’s the type of thinking Birchy has also brought to OpenSolar, because getting layouts and proposals to homeowners should be easy and free for installers. Now, 4 years later, 31MW of resi solar has been run through SolarAPP.
Focus On What Matters. As a solar installer there are two things that matter most to your bottom line, more approvals and lower dealer fees. Check out SolarWakeup’s preferred solar lending platform, CommonBond, to make sure you’re focused on the bottom line.
