A newly launched, three-year project — supported by a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office — will bring together diverse stakeholders to identify and develop solutions to solar and solar-plus-storage code enforcement and permitting challenges.
The project builds upon, and will significantly expand, the work of the Sustainable Energy Action Committee (SEAC), an organization founded in California in 2015 as a forum for collaboration on guidelines for implementation of codes and standards for permitting and inspection practices of renewable energy systems. SEAC brings together authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) — such as local building and fire departments, contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, utilities, testing labs, and other clean energy stakeholders for collaboration and problem-solving related to solar photovoltaic (PV) installation and energy storage projects.
