What we track

Every permit type. Every jurisdiction. Automatically.

California is the largest solar market in the country, and California leads the state. Solar contractors running residential and commercial installations across LA, San Diego, Orange County, and the Inland Empire are dealing with permit backlogs, inconsistent review timelines, and dozens of different building department portals. InstaPermit tracks all of it automatically.

Residential solar PV

Track single-family and multi-family solar PV permit approvals across every California AHJ automatically.

Commercial solar

Commercial PV installations involve more complex review processes. InstaPermit monitors every step.

Solar + battery storage

Combined solar and energy storage permits — increasingly required and increasingly common across California.

Ground-mounted systems

Ground mount permits follow a separate review path. InstaPermit tracks them distinctly.

Solar interconnection

Interconnection approvals from the utility run parallel to building permits. Track both in one dashboard.

Solar re-roofs

Projects that combine roofing with solar require coordination across multiple permit types.

California coverage

Every major market. One dashboard.

InstaPermit covers the five highest-volume permit markets in California — with more jurisdictions added every day.

We support every major California AHJ. If your specific AHJ isn't active yet, it can be added within a day or two.

Solar permit timelines vary significantly by jurisdiction — from 7 days in fast-moving cities to 30+ days in slower counties. InstaPermit monitors your permits 24/7 so you know the moment an approval comes through.

Yes. Your InstaPermit dashboard shows all active solar permits across every jurisdiction in one place.
