Solar Permit Guide: Requirements & Permitting Checklist
Learn how to navigate solar permit requirements, streamline approvals, and avoid common pitfalls. A comprehensive guide for solar installation professionals.
The Energy Commission does not require submittal of information to the solar equipment lists as a condition for complying with Title 20 appliance efficiency standards or for installing equipment in California.
Some utilities or local governments may use the Energy Commission's solar equipment lists during their interconnection or permit application processes. The Energy Commission's Solar Equipment Lists include PV modules, inverters (including smart inverters), meters, battery and energy storage systems, and related equipment.
While the number of PV systems interconnected to the grid has increased significantly over the last decade, only recently have PV systems been installed in major metropolitan areas and tied to electric distribution secondary network systems (networks).
This document is intended to provide guidance to local governments considering developing an ordinance or rules related to the development of utility-scale solar energy systems that are permitted as a conditional use by the local government's zoning code.
