Problem
Homeowners in the United States face high soft costs and long delays when installing residential rooftop solar and battery systems because each local jurisdiction requires separate, paper‑heavy permitting and utility interconnection processes.
Solution

The system digitizes paperwork, routes submissions to the appropriate authorities, and tracks status in real time, reducing the administrative burden on installers and homeowners. By consolidating and automating these steps, the platform cuts permitting expenses and accelerates project timelines, making rooftop solar and storage more affordable and accessible. The resulting cost reductions help households lower electricity bills while supporting broader grid‑modernization goals.
