Solar Resources

You can browse information on going solar for your home and your business, while solar contractors can use our E-Permit Center to submit applications electronically. The Office of Sustainability also has compiled a list of links to resources for county residents and businesses interested in going solar.

In July 2017, SolSmart, a program funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative to help communities increase the use of solar power, awarded Adams County a gold designation as a national leader in advancing solar energy. The county was one of just 40 nationwide to receive the gold designation, the highest level awarded.
