What this cohort covers

What counts as Residential Solar in Chicago?

Solar PV-system installs on residential-occupancy buildings — single-family rooftop PV, residential battery-storage pairings, and multifamily R-2 PV installs (the installer-class definitional axis: residential-PV-licensed crews work both single-family and small-multifamily). Split out of residential_mep + residential_alteration on classifier reclassification; cohorts are overlap-free, so a permit reclassified here is decremented from its prior cohort at the source metro on the same regen.
