California law to require automated, instant rooftop solar permits

I’m surprised that permits are not already automatic… Soon most installers will just be the homeowner. These systems should be plug and play, even to the point where new electrical main panels just have a port that homeowners can plug their systems into, for both battery systems and solar systems. In Phoenix there's a same day permitting system for almost all projects, then a call for inspection system where you call before 5p and the inspector is there the next day. The rest of the country must do better. Also anything that is better than ancient codes should be approved… We don't need receptacles every 12 feet anymore. Homes should ban hot water loops, just a cold supply to location based tankless hot water heaters, no hot water at laundry, all refrigeration systems should be mini splits with new flexible PEX refrigerant lines, capture condensate for landscaping or pool filling, and no hardwired fire detection and annunciation systems… That one gets me the most… With a big house or a hotel or office building, one break in the wire from fire or explosion and you no longer have a system that works (ie WTC NYC attacks and MGM Las Vegas and other examples). Finally no more fire sprinkler systems tied to domestic…. Needs to be bladder tanks stored between joists or studs. They pop, they evacuate, refill with a hose connector. We can do better. Save money, speed projects. With solar and batteries we should have the goal of $0 energy bills for all Americans by 2030… Use low interest debt to pay for the projects and put it on property insurance for 100 years at nearly 0pct interest, upgrade systems every 10-20 years and include battery storage. Frees up disposable income to spend everywhere else in the economy, and when people need welfare or government assistance, they need less of it from taxpayers. Living in more comfort with less worries and less hours of work means stronger and happier individuals and families.
