Solar & Storage Permit Data
Solar and storage permit data records distributed generation as it is authorized: photovoltaic system size, module and inverter counts, battery capacity, and EV charging. Builty structures these nationally at the address, dated from the permit that authorized the install.
Every install at the address, as it is permitted
Interconnection queues and incentive filings are the usual sources for distributed generation, and both lag the physical work. A permit is pulled before the panels go up. It carries the system size, the equipment, and the address, which makes it the earliest structured record that a property is about to start generating.
What's in the data
System-level attributes: size, equipment, mount and storage.
| Signal | What it carries |
|---|---|
| System size | kW DC as stated on the permit |
| Modules | Panel count, and manufacturer where named |
| Inverter | String, micro or hybrid, with count |
| Mount | Roof mount, ground mount, or carport |
| Storage | Battery capacity and chemistry where the permit states them |
| EV charging | Charger circuits, often permitted alongside |
| Coupled work | Panel upgrades and re-roofs permitted on the same record |
