[RE-wrenches] Costs of Solar Permits

[Brian White]

I recently read that for the city of Santa Anna, they do not charge for permits or inspections of PV systems in an effort to promote installations. It sure would be nice of more cities jumped on board with this type of thinking.

Back in June, I found this amendment to the Waxman-Markey Cap and Trade
bill- limiting solar permit costs for residential at $500 and
noncommercial at 1% of the project cost, up to $10k. Noncompliance with
permit cost requirements would disqualify the entity from Community
Development Block Grants. I don't think it made it into the latest
version, but you Californians should let Cardoza know that he's doing
good work! This is the only time I've seen this addressed at the federal
level.

>>    I will be involved in a few meetings with City Council members and Building Officials around Sonoma County, CA, and I want to argue that solar permit fees should be lower.  Do any of you have recommendations for me?  I want to argue that the solar provides other incentives to the jurisdictions besides the incomes from the permit fees, such as; city taxes collected, environmental benefits, reliable electric system, etc.
