Colorado rooftop solar grant program reopens
Twenty groups call on local governments to apply for grants to automate permitting and help more Coloradans go solar
The Colorado Energy Office reopened its Automated Permit Processing for Solar (APPS) grant program today with $1 million in funding available to Colorado cities and counties to implement automated rooftop solar permitting software.
Streamlined solar permitting can reduce the time and cost for Coloradans to “go solar” as well as save local government staff time. A number of Colorado jurisdictions, including Denver County, have already successfully adopted automated permitting. Alamosa County and Boulder County were the recipients of the initial round of APPS grant funding.
Twenty groups, including CoPIRG Foundation, are calling on cities and counties across Colorado to apply for funding this fall so they can implement automated rooftop solar permitting as soon as possible. Doing so will help more people plug into the clean, affordable energy our abundant sunshine provides.
