Solar Permit
A solar permit is the authorization to install a photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system — rooftop or ground-mount — including the panels, racking, and electrical work to tie it in. Most installs require both a building/structural and an electrical sign-off, and many jurisdictions issue a single combined solar permit.
PermitStack's SOLAR category holds 5.9M records — one of our largest and fastest-growing. It blends city/county building permits with statewide solar interconnection datasets (California NEM ~2.7M, New York NY-Sun ~550K), all normalized into one schema so installers, financiers, and analysts can track solar adoption by address, ZIP, city, or state.
