Deadlines for funding and compliance:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- California has made grants available for any of the paths to compliance. The grant deadline is May 1st. There are still funds left, and your town can still apply. It\u2019s first-come, first-served, and the maximum amount is $100,000. [7]<\/li>\n
- Big cities and counties (more than 50,000 people) were required to comply with the Solar Access Act by September 30, 2023<\/b>. If these cities and counties have not yet adopted instant, online, and automatic permitting for rooftop solar and storage systems that verifies the system is up to code, then they are out of compliance with the law. <\/li>\n
- Smaller cities (less than 50,000 people) are required to comply with the Solar Access Act by September 30, 2024<\/b>.<\/li>\n
- Cities with fewer than 5,000 people and counties with fewer than 150,000 people are exempt from the Solar Access Act, but they can still adopt the software and apply for the grant to make it easier for residents to go solar. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
