Licensing process for business solar solutions

Applying for a permit for a solar solution - such as a carport with solar panels or a battery container - can be complex, depending on your location and the regulations involved.

Therefore, if required, we can take this process completely out of your hands. Shift to Solar guides business customers from A to Z in the permit application, regardless of the type of solution. This keeps your focus on business operations, and we make sure the paperwork is correct.

When do you need a licence for a solar solution?

It depends entirely on the location, type of construction and local regulations.

Some projects do not require a permit. Other situations do require a formal application.

Think about:

• Installations in or near residential areas (aesthetics requirements)
  
• Bicycle or car stands with solar panels in view
  
• Battery systems on or off site
  
• Sites in protected nature or nitrogen-sensitive areas
  

It is bespoke. We investigate in advance whether your project requires a permit - so there are never any surprises.

What sometimes makes a licensing process complex?

Not every journey is difficult, but complexity often arises as soon as multiple parties or rules come into play.

Examples of what can make it complicated:

• Municipalities use their own procedures
  
• Flora and fauna survey may be mandatory
  
• Battery storage sometimes requires additional safety documentation
  
• Appearance committees assess the appearance of an installation
  
• Multiple documents and filing systems are often required
  

For many companies, this is not an everyday occurrence. For us it is. We make sure the process runs smoothly and professionally.
