Kelly - I can't recall, do you have concluding words after this video, or should I move us right to the roundtable and tee up your follow up comments there.

42:22
move right to RT, I'll have a little input on the results, but let's go straight to it I think

42:33
That's what I thought and will do!

Thank you for your time! I am just curious how this would work for the East Coast and Downstate NY aka Yonkers, Lewisboro, NY, MA, CT. These AHJ's are very difficult to get a response from unless I spend days hounding them. Any suggestions? Thank you! Kelley

01:03:31
is the $25.00 for each permit applied for in addition to the permit fees the AHJ's require?

Have to jump to another call. I’ll have to listen to the rest if there’s a recording circulated. It would be great to hear from code officials who are using the platform. In my soft cost reduction experience in CT, referrals from other code officials is very impactful. Thank you!

01:14:14
Do the utilities have to use SolarApp+ ?

01:18:19
Leave questions for the QA portion of our panel here!

01:21:05
Have you and/or do you intend to extend SolarAPP and SolarTRACE to the commercial and utility-scale sectors?

01:27:57
Great talk, thank you

01:29:54
What can installers do to support the adoption of SolarAPP in new AHJs?

01:31:25
Question: what role does private innovation play in further reducing soft costs?

01:31:28
yay!!

01:31:30
Are there any plans to expand SolarAPP to commercial customers?

01:31:39
Have the solar app got any traction in TX?

01:32:13
will you share the deck so these great links will be accessible?

01:32:27
Please direct any questions we don't have time to address today to the SolarAPP+ team at team@solar-app.org

01:32:54
What can we do at an installer level to inspire more adoption of the solar App across AHJ?

01:32:55
Jeff and Jesse, we do not have a hard stop so we can keep answering questions if you want

01:32:56
hwould like to c all quest

01:33:31
Jeff and SolarAPP team, thank you very much for the SolarAPP and appreciate all the efforts in making this happen!!

01:34:05
Is/will there be a site listing all the jurisdictions that have taken the plunge so far? Personally I'd be curious to see when various munis in North Carolina get on board once it gets rolling in my State but I'd think such a list would be helpful nationwide so advocates can outreach to AHJs in nearby or similarly sized towns where the (positive) experiences of early adopters could be most persuasive...
