The Department of Licenses and Inspections implemented another step toward meeting the Greenworks vision with two ordinances designed to encourage the use of solar panels systems in Philadelphia.

“I am excited to support this energy option since solar panel systems decrease dependence on fossil fuels and reduce the risks of rising energy costs in the long-run,” Licenses and Inspections Commissioner Fran Burns said.
