Solar energy: permits. <br /> (1) Existing law provides that it is the policy of the state to promote <br /> and encourage the use of solar energy systems, as defined, and to limit <br /> obstacles to their use. Existing law states that the implementation of <br /> consistent statewide standards to achieve timely and cost-effective <br /> installation of solar energy systems is not a municipal affair, but is <br /> instead a matter of statewide concern. Existing law requires a city or <br /> county to administratively approve applications to install solar energy <br /> systems through the issuance of a building permit or similar <br /> nondiscretionary permit. Existing law requires a solar energy system <br /> for heating water to be certified by the Solar Rating Certification <br /> Corporation or another nationally recognized certification agency. <br /> 94 <br />
