Permit Power

Thanks to @NYCComptroller, @SpeakerMenin , BPs @GibsonBP2025, @bradhoylman & @DRichardsQNS, and 27 more @NYCCouncil members for urging @GovKathyHochul to sign the SUNNY Act so NYC families can cut their energy bills ⚡️☀️ Check out more: amny.com/politics/balco…

Great news out of Florida: the residential solar market is defying the odds and growing thanks to permitting reform legislation passed last year! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Remote inspections didn't just speed things up for CA families; they were nearly free for Placer County to implement, and the county still came out ahead, shrinking its vehicle fleet as inspectors spent less time driving between sites. A new op-ed in the @sacbee_news explains why CA AB 1738, authored by @AsmJuanCarrillo, would bring those same savings statewide. Thanks to @SPUR_Urbanist for your partnership!

Big thanks to NYC Comptroller @MarkLevineNYC for calling out slow, inconsistent permitting and costly interconnection delays as what's slowing down home solar and batteries in New York City. Fixing that red tape means faster, cheaper power for NYC families ☀️⚡️ Check it out!

NYC needs a real citywide strategy for reliable, affordable, clean power. That means building a coordinated portfolio of solar and battery storage on public assets, speeding up permitting and grid connections, advancing clean-energy legislation, capturing every available public dollar, and building the workforce needed to deliver it. The full report, and our roadmap, is here: comptroller.nyc.gov/reports/meetin…

Virginia families now have a first-in-the-nation deal on home solar. Kudos to @GovernorVA's office for backing @SolarNeighbors' Switch Together program-- a group buying power that cuts 23% off a typical solar installation, about $6,300 in savings, worth up to $2,200/year on electric bills. ☀️⚡️ This is what cutting through red tape can do for families.  Check out more here:  switchtogether.com/en/solar/VA/ho…

Exciting to see policies that deliver faster, cheaper solar and home batteries included in @ncelenviro’s guide to model energy affordability policies☀️⚡️ Read it here: ncelenviro.org/resources/ener…

Big news: MA Senate just passed statewide smart solar permitting. Mass. families pay electricity rates 72% above the national average. Home solar cuts that bill directly — but slow, inconsistent permitting adds thousands to every install. Now it heads to the finish line. Every month of delay costs families more. ⚡☀️

It’s official! NJ has opened the door to affordable, safe, and scalable plug-in solar. This bill expands energy choice and builds a fairer energy system without public spending. Thank you to the lawmakers, especially @JohnFMcKeon and @ClintCalabrese, for championing and voting YES for clean energy freedom, and can’t wait for Governor Sherrill to sign the bill into law! ☀️⚡️#SolarWins

Great to see the @BostonGlobe editorial board calling on MA lawmakers to make rooftop solar cheaper and easier for families by cutting red tape! Grateful they included our co-founder, Hannah Birnbaum, and @PermitPower in the piece. ☀️⚡️ Check it out! bostonglobe.com/2026/06/24/opi…

Great piece on how plugin solar could change how Americans access clean energy in Sunday's @nytimes by @robinsonmeyer! Thanks for shouting out our research on why U.S. home solar costs so much more than the rest of the world! ⚡️☀️ nytimes.com/2026/06/14/opi…

Kingston, NY, made history as the first jurisdiction in New York to adopt automated solar permitting 🎉 Weeks of delays, cut to minutes. Real savings for real families. This is exactly what affordability-first governance looks like. Huge thanks to Mayor Steve Noble for leading the way and making it happen. ☀️ ⚡ kingston-ny.gov/news/?FeedID=3…
