There are a few things that could potentially delay the permitting process for your solar installation:
- Permit backlog: Some building departments may have a significant backlog of permits to review, which could slow things down. We'll follow up with them regularly to try to expedite the process.
- Requests for additional information: The building department may request clarification or additional details during their review. In smaller jurisdictions, the building department may just be learning about how solar permitting works. We'll work closely with them to provide anything they need as quickly as possible.
- Roof structural analysis: If required, the structural roof analysis done by an engineer could take some time and delay the permit approval. We'll try to get this scheduled and completed promptly.
- HOA approval: If your homeowners association needs to approve the solar installation, their review process could add some time as well. We'll coordinate with them right away to get the ball rolling.
While delays are possible, we'll do everything we can to minimize them and keep your permit moving through the approval process as quickly as we can, and inform you as soon as your applications have been approved.
