Solar Plans Must Be Submitted with the Building Permit Application!
California has long been a leader in solar and renewable energy. To reach its goal of achieving 100% clean energy by 2045, it needs to triple its solar power capacity. To accomplish this, the state has passed several laws, including the California solar mandate, requiring all new homes built in 2020 and beyond to have rooftop solar photovoltaic systems. This system must be able to generate all the energy the home needs over the course of a year.
Now, in Sonoma County, a new regulation regarding solar power took effect on October 1, 2024. It's the reason why your new build needs complete solar plans when you submit your permit.
