Bill 117 HR 4852, also known as the Residential Solar Opportunity Act of 2021, aims to promote the use of solar energy in residential properties across the United States. The bill proposes various incentives and tax credits to encourage homeowners to install solar panels on their homes.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to streamline the permitting process for residential solar installations, making it easier and more cost-effective for homeowners to go solar. By reducing the bureaucratic hurdles associated with installing solar panels, the bill aims to increase the adoption of solar energy in residential properties.
