EXPEDITED PERMIT PROCESS FOR RESIDENTIAL SMALL-SCALE PV SYSTEMS
STANDARD STRING SYSTEM, MICRO-INVERTER, AC MODULE, OR SUPPLY SIDE
Required Information for Permit:
1. Two copies of site plan showing location of major components on the property. This drawing need not be
exactly to scale, but it should represent relative location of components at site. PV arrays on dwellings
with a 3’ perimeter space at ridge and sides may not need separate fire service review.
2. Two copies of detail, note, elevation, or a combination thereof, indicating PV panels installed will be
uniformly spaced above the roof surface less than 12 inches from roof surface and the PV panels will not
extend past roof peak.
3. Two copies of electrical diagram showing PV array configuration, wiring system, overcurrent protection,
inverter, disconnects, required signs, and ac connection to building.
4. Two copies of specification sheets and installation manuals for all manufactured components
including, but not limited to, PV modules, inverter(s), combiner box, disconnects, and mounting
system.
5. Printed name and signature of person responsible for design on all pages. Include license number if
applicable.
6. Be advised that if any of the PV wiring is installed inside the dwelling, smoke alarms will need to be
updated if not to current code per Florida Building Code Residential, Section R314.3
Step 1: Structural Review of PV Array Mounting System
Is the array to be mounted on a defined, permitted roof structure? Yes No
Roof Information:
1. Does the roof have a single roof covering? Yes No
If No, please describe roof covering: _____________________________________________________________
Mounting System Information:
1. The mounting structure shall be engineered or a product approval.
2. Is the roof flat or sloped? Flat Sloped
If sloped, at what pitch? ___________________
Page 2 of 2 Rev. 1/22/2018
3. For manufactured mounting systems, fill out information on the mounting system below:
a. Mounting System Manufacturer_____________Product Name and Model#____________
b. Total Weight of PV Modules and Rails ___________ lbs
c. Total Number of Attachment Points ____________
d. Weight per Attachment Point (b±c) _________________ lbs
e. Maximum Spacing Between Attachment Points on a Rail ____ inches (see product manual for
maximum spacing allowed based on maximum design wind speed)
f. Total Surface Area of PV Modules (square feet)__________________ ft2
g. Distributed Weight of PV Module on Roof (b±f) _________________ lbs/ft2
Step 2: Three-Day Plan Review of PV System
In order for a PV system to be considered for an expedited permit process, the following must apply:
1. PV modules, utility-interactive inverters, and combiner boxes are identified for use in PV systems.
2. The PV array is composed of 4 series strings or less per inverter.
3. The total inverter capacity has a continuous ac power output of 10,000 Watts or less.
4. One of the standard electrical diagrams can be used to accurately represent the PV system.
5. The PV system, when installed on a historic property, is not located on a character defining feature and is not visible from the street.
6. The PV system extends no further than 12” above mounting surface, and is uniformly spaced above a sloped roof surface.
7. The PV system does not extend past the roof peak.
Step 3: Separate Permits Required
Per the Florida Administrative Code, Rule 61G4-15.021, “Solar contractors may install new or replace existing power and control wiring in photovoltaic (PV) source circuits, PV output circuits, battery storage system circuits, and power conditioning unit. In an interactive system that operates parallel with a primary source of electrical energy, this work is limited to the PV supply side of the power conditioning unit. In a stand-alone, or non-grid connected system, the work above-referenced shall be limited to the PV supply side of the power conditioning unit and shall not include wiring integral to the building premises. All work shall be done in accordance with the National Electric Code”.
Any work integral to the building premises wiring shall be done by a licensed electrical contractor. A separate electrical permit will be required for this work, and should be submitted at the same time as the permit application for the PV system.

labeled for location and use in PV systems.
☐ ☐ ☐
b) The system meets all current FBC, City, and Electrical Code requirements. ☐ ☐ ☐
c) For Split‐Buss panels the AC interconnection must be one of the six service disconnects. ☐ ☐ ☐
d) Maximum load added to the panelboard is based on the rating of the PV system and is limited
to 10,000 watts.
☐ ☐ ☐
e) I have attached the following Electrical Template and Site Plan:
