Solar permitting in Central Florida, explained

1 min read

Permitting is one of the least-understood parts of going solar. Here is how it generally works across Central Florida.

Who issues the permit

Permits are issued locally — your city or county building department — and the rules vary by jurisdiction.

  • Structural review of the roof.
  • Electrical review of the interconnection.
  • Utility interconnection approval.

A licensed installer handles the permit paperwork as part of the job.
