Installing rooftop solar panels is becoming more affordable for homeowners in Southern California. While the material cost of solar modules is dropping, some municipalities are sill charging exorbitant solar permit fees, and others are waiving the fee altogether. So, how much does a solar permit cost in Southern California?
The Los Angeles chapter of the Sierra Club recently released their report summarizing average solar permit costs for cities in Southern California. The report includes ranking tables that list cities in the order of:
- Fees Charged
- Composite ranking based on both fee and time-to-issuance
- Alphabetical by municipality name
- Separate fee ranking charts for cities within each county
