Eliminate permitting hassles with Solargraf’s DIY automation
Navigating the solar permitting process has long been one of the biggest pain points for solar installers and homeowners alike. Complex regulations, varying requirements from different Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), and staying up to date with utility guidelines create a landscape that can be difficult to navigate. These challenges slow down projects and increase costs.
To help alleviate these pain points, Solargraf has introduced a new DIY permit generation solution designed to streamline and automate the most time-consuming process of generating code-compliant permits.
Simplify solar permitting with automation
The new DIY permit solution simplifies key tasks, from electrical designs to creating permit plan sets, enabling installers to speed up their workflows. By automating manual steps, installers can now take full control of the permit application process and scale their operations without the usual delays and expenses that come with handling everything manually.
Turn proposals into permits in just a few clicks
With this solution, creating permit plan sets has never been easier. Installers can convert their solar and storage proposals into detailed, permit-ready plan sets in just a few clicks.
Access our comprehensive AHJ and utility database instantly
One of Solargraf’s main features is our comprehensive database which covers over 16,000 AHJs and 245 utility providers across all 50 states. The database is regularly updated to ensure compliance with the latest codes and requirements. The system uses over 200 data points to auto-populate key fields and the ‘Design Parameters’ window displays all the necessary AHJ codes and utility details for your specific region, reducing manual errors and ensuring accuracy while creating a permit plan set.
Design NEC-compliant electrical plans with precision
Solargraf also provides advanced electrical design capabilities. With our comprehensive equipment database, users can generate NEC-compliant single-line diagrams (SLDs) and electrical plans, all from a single platform. These plans are automatically tested for viability. The SLD is also available for download at no extra cost.
Simplify structural verification for faster approvals
Structural verification is also simplified, ensuring the correct information is included for each project. Users can add any notes or PDFs, which are automatically included in the final permit plan set.
Customize permit outputs to match your project needs
Our outputs are designed to be as flexible as possible to meet installer needs. Once generated, the permit plan sets are available for download in both PDF and DWG formats, allowing for further customizations if needed.
Handle any solar system configuration easily
Whether you’re working with traditional string PV systems, microinverter-based systems, or more advanced grid-tied and backup battery systems, Solargraf’s DIY permit generation feature supports various configurations. The platform is designed to accommodate the different complexities of these systems while meeting specific requirements.
Stay compliant with regular updates
Permitting is often the bottleneck in solar installation projects, leading to delays and higher costs. As the solar industry grows, staying ahead of regulatory changes is crucial. Solargraf platform is continually updated to reflect these changes, ensuring installers don’t need to worry about staying compliant. By reducing complexity, we empower installers to move from design to installation more efficiently.
Unlock efficiency for every installation
Solargraf’s solution enables installers to reduce their reliance on third-party software by automating the most tedious and manual aspects of the permitting process. Built to boost productivity, minimize turnaround times, and save costs, this tool empowers installers to handle more projects efficiently, scaling operations faster.
