About PERMIT POWER EDUCATION FUND

Permit Power Education Fund is a San Francisco–based research and advocacy nonprofit focused on cutting the soft costs (permitting, inspection, interconnection, and local rules) that make residential rooftop solar and home batteries substantially more expensive in the U.S. than in peer countries.

Founded in 2024, the organization produces policy research, state-level permitting roadmaps, and advocacy resources designed to streamline local and state processes so more households can install clean energy.

The EIN 99-0571320 was cross-referenced against public grant disclosure documents and nonprofit data sources and matches the organization operating under the Permit Power name; since formation the group has published national and state reports and received major philanthropic support to fund its research and grantmaking work (activity documented in 2024–2026 materials).
