Enphase Energy Launches AI-Powered DIY Permitting Feature on Solargraf
In a significant move to transform the domestic solar installation industry, global energy technology company Enphase Energy has launched an AI-powered DIY permitting feature on its cloud-based platform Solargraf. The new feature is aimed at US solar installers and is designed to automate the complex solar and battery permitting process, potentially reducing the time to produce full permit plans by up to 95%.
The introduction of the DIY permitting feature on Solargraf is expected to bring a significant relief to installers by streamlining the administrative burden associated with permit acquisition. With this enhancement, Enphase Energy positions Solargraf as a comprehensive solution for solar and battery system design, proposal, and permitting.
According to Jayant Somani, digital business unit senior vice-president at Enphase Energy, "We are thrilled to enhance the capabilities of our Solargraf platform. The new DIY permitting feature is proven to streamline the solar permitting process and empower installers to operate more efficiently, delivering exceptional service to homeowners."
The company claims that by minimizing cycle times and operational expenses through an automated workflow, installers can optimize their business operations and improve customer experience. The AI-powered feature on Solargraf has already shown its effectiveness with over 300 permit plans generated across more than 50 authorities having jurisdiction.
Enphase Energy supplies microinverter-based solar and battery systems that allow people to harness the sun to make, use, save, and sell their own power. With approximately 78 million microinverters shipped and over 4.5 million Enphase-based systems installed in over 160 countries, the company has established itself as a leading player in the global energy sector.
As part of its commitment to streamline the solar installation process from start to finish, Enphase Energy continues to integrate innovative technologies into its platform, further solidifying its position as a leader in the industry.
