Enphase Energy Unveils AI-Powered DIY Permitting Feature for Solargraf, Slashing Solar Permit Plan Creation Times by up to 95%
12 November 2024 - 12:00AM
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based
solar and battery systems, announced today a new do-it-yourself
(DIY) permit plan feature on Solargraf®, its cloud-based design,
proposal, and permitting software platform for solar installers in
the United States. The DIY permitting feature uses artificial
intelligence and machine learning to automate the complex solar and
battery permitting process, which can help reduce the time required
to produce full permit plans by up to 95%. Watch a video detailing
this new feature here.
Navigating the solar permitting process has long been a pain
point for solar installers and their customers. Complex
regulations, varying requirements from different Authorities Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ), and staying up to date with utility guidelines
create a landscape that can be difficult to navigate. These
challenges can slow down projects and increase costs. The new
Solargraf DIY permitting feature can help alleviate these pain
points by simplifying and automating the most time-consuming
aspects of the process, which can enable installers to create
complete permit plans in less than 10 minutes. Some of the key
features include:
- Automation at your
fingertips: Turn a proposal design into a permit plan with
just a few clicks. Installers can add balance of system and
structural elements to their permit plans, which can help generate
AHJ-ready permit plans in minutes.
- Advanced electrical
design: Generate single-line diagrams and permit plans
with electrical validations to ensure National Electrical Code
(NEC) compliance.
- Comprehensive, up-to-date
data: Utilize the feature’s nationwide coverage for permit
plan creation with more than 16,000 AHJ and 245 utility provider
information.
“We’ve tried various solar proposal software tools, and the
Solargraf platform has always stood out for its comprehensive
features,” said Roderick Venture, president and founder at Allied
Energy Solutions. “The new DIY permitting will be a game-changer in
helping speed up and enhance our services.”
“The time required to create a complete permit plan has been
slashed to minutes thanks to the DIY permitting feature, and we’re
excited to incorporate this into our services,” said Jay Johnson,
founder of Roswell Solar. “With access to an extensive database and
up-to-date information, this solution not only helps streamline our
processes but also gives us the flexibility to focus more on
customer satisfaction and less on paperwork.”
The new DIY permit plan feature makes the Solargraf platform a
comprehensive end-to-end solution for solar and battery system
design, proposal, and permitting. The DIY permitting feature can
also help boost productivity and cut costs for installers by
reducing cycle times and operating expenses with a seamless,
automated workflow. The design and proposal features also simplify
and help expedite the entire sales and installation process, and it
is all accessible from any PC, tablet, or mobile device.
“It is remarkable what the Solargraf platform’s self-serve
permit solution can do,” said Ryan Hurlock, co-founder of Magic Sun
Solar. “We can now use a single software application to manage the
full life cycle of the job beginning with the proposal creation
through the system design phase. We are excited to start using this
new feature to trim our workflow and give our customers an even
more seamless experience, which is unique in the market.”
“We are thrilled to enhance the capabilities of our Solargraf
platform,” said Jayant Somani, senior vice president of the digital
business unit at Enphase Energy. “With more than 300 permit plans
already generated across more than 50 AHJs, the new DIY permitting
feature is proven to streamline the solar permitting process and
empower installers to operate more efficiently, delivering
exceptional service to homeowners.”
