...this could dramatically boost the photovoltaic market and sales of battery energy storage systems (BESS). BESS enables factories to store surplus solar energy, providing power even during low-sunlight hours or selling excess energy, pending approval.
The current process requires navigating six state agencies, often delaying solar panel approvals for six months or more.
Can someone please explain why (planning?) permission is even needed if these are installed on the roofs of factories - it's not like they would be seen ?
