Let’s be honest the solar incentive programs that your New York solar panel installation is eligible for is a huge driving force for you moving forward with your solar power installation in the first place, so you don’t want to jeopardize your chances of getting those monies, do you? Well the great news is that if you are now thinking of getting a New York solar panel installation you won’t face an agonizing wait of several months to get those precious permits approved.

With the Long Island Power Authority’s recent announcement they are partnering up with Nassau and Suffolk Counties to install a streamlined solar permitting process for your New York solar panel installation. So now your wait on a permit for a New York solar panel installation will only be 2 weeks vice waiting months on end for the local government to get you your paperwork so you can move forward with your solar installation.

The program aims to simplify the permitting process for a New York solar panel installation by creating a standardized permitting process for residential PV systems. This new initiative brought government officials, industry representatives and advocates for solar energy to the table in a collaborative effort to facilitate an increase in New York solar panel installations. This initiative is a first of its kind across the country, which may push New York into the forefront of the solar panel installation market.

Traditionally across the country every city and town has it’s own set of rules and regulations governing solar power installations. This often leads to a wide range in permitting fees and a confusing, laborious process for homeowners who just want a solar installation. With New York’s new program though a New York solar panel installation will be much easier to get because the solar permitting process will be streamlined and standardize reducing confusion and stabilizing fees.

Often these fees add a tremendous expense to any solar installation costs, but now that shouldn’t be an issue for a New York solar panel installation because of the following expectations set by the new initiative:

1) Application fees will be kept to a minimum or waived all together.

2) Permits for a New York solar panel installation will be accepted or denied within 14 days of submittal.

3) What they call a “Solar Energy System Fast Track Permit Application” will replace all existing building permit forms required for a New York solar panel installation.

4) They will create a central registry of all New York solar panel installations.

5) And lastly safety-warning labels on all solar equipment will be standardized.

Gordian Raacke, Executive Director for the not-for-profit group Renewable Energy Long Island, praised the new program saying to solar.calfinder.com, “Inconsistent local permit requirements can add hundreds of dollars to the cost of installing a solar electric system.” 

Raacke went on to say that he expects that the new permitting system will not only make installing a New York solar panel installation easier and cheaper, but will help ensure that the systems are properly designed and installed as well. 

Michael Hervey, LIPA’s Chief Executive Officer agrees. Hervey told solar.calfinder.com that he expects that the streamlined permitting process “to act as a catalyst to encourage more homeowners to take advantage of LIPA’s solar programs and save money, while at the same time helping to foster new jobs in the local solar market.”

New York has rolled out a great program to facilitate an increase in the number of New York solar panel installations this year.
