We built a tool for Ontarians (Canada) to easily find permits for solar and battery energy projects.

It can be complicated to fulfil the permitting requirements for all the different utility and building jurisdictions out there. But we absolutely must overcome this barrier in order to accelerate renewable energy in the province!

My cofounder Mike scoured through utility documents, building permits, hidden web pages and took long phone calls so you don't have to :)

P.S. if you found this valuable or think that it needs more info / clarity to be truly useful, please let us know

What does DER stand for? Google thinks I'm going hunting....
Distributed Energy Resources, or a fancy way of saying "solar, batteries, heat pumps, smart thermostats, etc", i.e. any distributed (as opposed to centralized) sources/users of energy
"Distributed Energy Resource"
