City of Malibu is proud to announce an automated residential solar permitting platform for solar and energy storage projects.
The City is partnering with Symbium to launch this permitting portal by September 30, 2024. This platform will ensure that every application meets the necessary safety and regulatory standards while expediting the permitting process.
- Senate Bill (SB) 379 requires most California cities and counties to implement an online, automated permitting platform that verifies code compliance instantly for a residential solar energy system, or solar paired with storage.
- Licensed contractors seeking to pull permits under SB 379 will be able to apply for instantaneous plan review approval via the portal.
- Projects must meet specific criteria to qualify for an instant solar permit; checklists will be available on our website: MalibuCity.org/Solar
