A bill has been introduced in our 60-day state legislative session
to direct our statewide licensing agency to develop a consistent set
of permitting standards for PV systems. Like many states, we suffer
a confusing matrix of differing local standards, costs and
requirements. I would like to testify at a legislative committee
hearing in favor of a common standard.<br>
<br>
We have our own matrix spreadsheet, and we have the Solar ABCs'
Expedited Process as developed by Bill Brooks and others. What I'm
looking for are links to the best short, nontechnical and easily
read articles about how the permit process has become a large
portion of the cost of all PV systems, how it's holding back the
adoption and growth of PV, how the Obama administration has
recognized this as one of the structural barriers to more renewables
adoption, and the like. The best I can find will get printed out and
given to the legislators.<br>
<br>
I have seen many of these articles, on Renewable Energy World and
other media, but have never saved them, of course. That's why I'm
asking for this assistance. Many of us are facing the same issues in
our jurisdictions.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Allan<br>
