Residential Solar Applications

In September of 2022, the State of California passed Senate Bill (SB) 379, requiring local jurisdictions at the City and County level to provide streamlined residential solar and energy storage system permits. The Town has partnered with Symbium to provide an automated permitting platform that automatically checks applications for code compliance and allows for instant permit approval for residential solar and energy storage systems.

Contractors looking to begin the application process with Symbium can look up the project address in the search bar below:

Symbium's platform will instantaneously check for code compliance, collect a service fee, and direct the applicant back to the Town's eTRAKiT system for permit issuance. It is highly encouraged to utilize this new system as it allows for faster turnaround. Applicants may still submit their Solar and Energy Storage System applications via email or in person to the Building Division. Applications submitted not using Symbium are subject to plan review ranging from 1 - 3 business days.

All contractors performing work in the Town of Windsor are required to have an active business license prior to permit issuance. To apply for a business license, please visit the business license page.

For technical support or questions on how to use the Symbium platform, please reach out to support@symbium.com. For questions regarding the use of eTRAKiT, please contact cd-buildingdivision@townofwindsor.ca.gov.
