The City of Sheboygan is being praised for its work in fostering the growth of affordable solar energy at the local level.
SolSmart, a national program that helps cities, towns, counties, and regional organizations become solar energy leaders, has granted Sheboygan its prestigious Silver designation.
This accomplishment reflects Sheboygan’s dedication to sustainable energy solutions and its leadership in creating a more solar-friendly community.
To earn the Silver designation, the City of Sheboygan took significant steps, including training permitting and inspection staff on best practices for solar energy and solar-plus-storage systems, clarifying zoning regulations to allow solar energy installations by-right in all major zones, streamlining the permitting process to reduce installation timelines and costs, and partnering with local stakeholders to promote solar awareness and education within the community.
