Automated Solar Plan Review (Pilot Program)
Before applying for an automated solar plan review and solar permit, projects must follow certain requirements. At this time, SolarAPP+ is designed to provide a code-compliance check for the majority of residential, roof-mounted, retrofit photovoltaic systems. To see which systems are eligible, please refer to the Eligibility Checklist (PDF). Only projects that conform to this list are eligible to use the automated SolarAPP+ portal for instant permitting. See SolarApp+ Tutorials below for more information.
1. Submit for automated review through SolarAPP+
- To start using SolarAPP+, register and submit your design through the SolarAPP+ web page.

2. Apply for a permit with the City of Yorba Linda
- An active City of Yorba Linda Business License is required. The contractor must also be added to the SolarAPP+ program eligibility list. Please email team@solar-app.org to request to be added to the program eligibility list.
