Requires establishment of automated platform to expedite construction code approval of applications to install residential solar energy systems.

This bill requires New Jersey to create a digital platform that automatically reviews and approves residential solar panel installation permits, directly affecting homeowners, solar contractors, and local municipalities. The platform must instantly approve 75% of standard rooftop solar applications that meet building safety rules, process requests 24/7, and eliminate manual paperwork. Local governments must either use this state platform or an equivalent alternative within 18 months, with penalties for non-compliance funding low-income energy assistance. The goal is to cut delays and high costs - currently adding $6,000-$7,000 per installation - by replacing slow, paper-based permitting.
