Rescheduled Staff Workshop on the Proposed Design of the California Automated Permit Processing (CalAPP) Program

California Energy Commission (CEC) staff are facilitating a workshop to solicit comments on the proposed program design for the California Automated Permit Processing (CalAPP) Program. This workshop was originally scheduled for January 12, 2022. The CalAPP program will provide funding to enable and support cities and counties to establish automated online solar permitting, including the adoption of SolarAPP+ and potentially other automated permit processing systems. SolarAPP+ is a standardized plan review software that can run compliance checks and process building permit approvals for eligible rooftop solar systems.

The workshop is being held remotely, consistent with Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-1-22 to improve and enhance public access to state agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic. The public can participate in the workshop consistent with the direction below. The CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time, and the end time is an estimate.
