San Leandro offers SolarAPP+ instant online permits for residential solar. AB 2188 caps review to 3 business days. Title 24 mandates solar on new homes.
San Leandro Building Division participates in SolarAPP+, the federal instant-approval platform for standard residential rooftop PV systems. Complex systems are reviewed within 3 business days under California AB 2188 (Gov Code §65850.5). Title 24 Part 6 requires solar PV on nearly all new residential construction as of 2020. Structural and electrical inspections are combined into a single visit. Permit fees are capped under state law at reasonable cost-of-service amounts. Battery storage (Tesla Powerwall, etc.) follows a similar streamlined process.
