The Why

Our Collective Challenges

Permit Power is leading the charge to slash the red tape and save American families money.

Power prices are increasing, and more families are struggling with the cost of living

  • There is increasing demand for electricity, driven by AI, manufacturing, and electrification.

  • Rates are rising higher than the cost of inflation, putting a 1 in 7 families in energy poverty.

  • Federal tax credits are phasing out, the federal government is making it more difficult to build utility-scale clean energy infrastructure, and states are pulling back from subsidizing clean energy.

American Families are Paying More for Their Rooftop Solar Systems

Today, American families are paying tens of thousands of dollars more for a rooftop solar and home battery system than families in peer countries like Australia. They are also having to wait many months for the system to start producing power, rather than just a few days in Australia.

Government Red Tape Heightens Solar Costs

The key driver of high rooftop solar costs and delays in the US is the burdensome red tape from the local government permitting and utility interconnection processes. Fortunately:

  • The red tape can be cut quickly, delivering fast deployment of savings and new clean energy
  • The red tape can be slashed at virtually no cost to government or ratepayers
  • The red tape can be cut at the state level, with decision makers who are more focused on delivering practical outcomes
  • This strategy has momentum. States and local governments have already started to significantly streamline permitting and interconnection across the country.

The Cheap Rooftop Solar and Home Battery Opportunity

Driving down the cost of rooftop solar and home batteries to levels seen in other countries can massively increase deployment. This will:
Save homeowners money, quickly
Drive down utility rates for all
Generate more clean power and reduce pollution

There is more to do. And we have no time to waste.
