6/6 Webinar: Emerging Approaches to Efficient Rooftop Solar Permitting
This free webinar scheduled for Wednesday, June 6th from 2:00-3:00 Eastern, will discuss approaches being used across the country to help catalyze action at a local, regional and state level to improve the efficiency of the rooftop permitting process and will highlight specific improvements being put into place. It will outline the pros and cons of these approaches and discuss how application of different strategies may vary depending upon the governance structure in place. The discussion will center on examples highlighted in the Interstate Renewable Energy Council’s report “Sharing Success: Emerging Approaches to Efficient Rooftop Solar Permitting” which was released in May. ![]() Register for the webinar
During the webinar, presenters Sky Stanfield and Erica Schroeder from Keyes, Fox & Wiedman LLP will focus on the procedural components of the permitting process, and not the technical standards, to give participants various strategies that can be used in their own communities. The webinar seeks to facilitate discussion and to provide concrete examples of methods for improving the rooftop permitting process that benefit installers as well as local governments.

About this webinar seriesThroughout 2012, ICLEI and its partners in the Solar Outreach Partnership for the SunShot Initiative will host free, monthly webinars with the goal of helping local governments overcome barriers to deploying solar energy and making local investment in solar more attractive. The webinars will cover timely topics with leading experts who provide tips, resources, and case studies on the actions that local governments, utilities, industry professionals and policymakers are taking to increase their solar portfolios. IREC, along with the North Carolina Solar Center, The Solar Foundation, Meister Consultants, and The Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA), is a partner in this outreach effort.
