The city of Los Angeles has launched an online permitting system for solar panels, seeking to streamline the process and reduce costs for homeowners.
Previously, those installing the systems had to go to a Department of Building and Safety office, with plans in hand, to apply for a permit, then wait days for approval, said department spokesman Luke Zamperini.
But now, it’s possible to receive permits for solar photovoltaic systems directly from the department’s website, the mayor’s office said in a news release this week.
(Editor’s note: Solar panel permitting regulations in Arizona differ by city.)
