New Jersey Lawmakers Advocate for Streamlined Solar Permitting New Jersey state lawmakers, Senator John McKeon and Assemblyman Robert Karabinchak, are advocating for a bill that aims to modernize the state's rooftop solar and battery installation permitting process, seeking to reduce costs and expedite approvals through the adoption of "smart permitting" technology. The proposed legislation, which has garnered bipartisan support, could potentially save homeowners up to $4,500 per typical rooftop solar system while facilitating the installation of an additional 200,000 residential solar systems by 2040, thereby enhancing New Jersey's energy resilience and creating new jobs within the solar industry.
