Require distribution utilities to publish feeder and transformer hosting capacity as open data, updated at least quarterly, and to auto-approve certified small rooftop systems below a published kW threshold when capacity headroom exists. Larger systems get standardized study timelines with cost-estimate bands. Upgrade costs above a threshold enter a transparent tariff rider or shared-cost process. Goal: cut residential interconnection from many months to days where headroom exists.
