Overcome New York’s Solar Permit Process with Power Solutions
Environment of America has released its latest Solar Permitting Scorecard, and it’s bad news for the red tape in New York. According to the report, New York falls behind most states in common-sense practices that reduce delays in the permitting and inspection process. The state was given a “D Grade” rating, scoring just 28 points out of a possible 100.
This grade doesn’t reflect the reality of how easily you could get through your Long Island solar installation. You simply need to find a better way to navigate the process.
More than 5,000 Long Island families and businesses have found that the easiest way to pass the solar permitting process is to choose a trusted solar contractor that simplifies the complex steps.
Power Solutions Streamlines the Solar Permitting Process on Long Island
Solar permits on Long Island are managed by various local governments throughout Suffolk and Nassau Counties. Unlike in some states that offer digital portals and instant approval in some cases, local building departments want to see clear engineering plans that tick all the right boxes. This is where an experienced solar contractor comes in.
How Power Solutions makes the solar permit process stress-free:
- Power Solutions is a fully-licensed solar contractor that has operated on Long Island since 2009.
- We have extensive experience in local permitting procedures. We understand the requirements and design our systems for rapid approval.
- Customers fill out forms once. We handle the permitting process in-house, saving time for homeowners.
Our expertise plays a significant role here. Our lead engineer is a NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional. This is the highest industry certification in the United States. Contractors who obtain this have been rigorously evaluated for field experience, safety training, and photovoltaic technology training. It’s not a one-time award. Solar professionals must recertify every three years and demonstrate continued education.
With a certified engineer and solar planning designed for Long Island’s unique approval requirements, you will avoid plan rejections and other regulatory setbacks. In short, you can have solar panels installed faster without worrying about the permitting specifics.
