The jurisdiction's checklist and the system design start a solar permit job

A solar permit job starts from the system design and equipment data sheets, plus roof or site photos and measurements as the client supplies them. The jurisdiction's own solar permit checklist arrives with them, because it decides what the set has to show.

REMOTEDelivery is remote, so we don't visit the site.

A jurisdiction reads four solar sheets: site plan, array layout, single-line diagram and attachment details

A solar permit set holds four sheets, which a jurisdiction reads before it approves the installation. Two show where the array goes, and two show the wiring and the fixing.

PV ARRAY LAYOUT

An installer, a contractor or an owner orders a solar set from us anywhere in the United States.

Solar permit drawings cover rooftop, ground-mount and battery storage installations

Yes, we draw ground-mount arrays and battery storage. Solar permit drawings cover residential and commercial rooftop arrays, ground-mount arrays, and battery storage added to a solar system. Storage is shown on the same electrical diagram as the array.

Design, stamping and filing stay with others, and a solar set is apart from the building permit set

No, we do not size systems, seal sets or file them. The engineer or installer of record stamps the set where a stamp is required, and the client files it with the jurisdiction. The installer or engineer designs the system, and we draw it.

Sheets for the building itself go in a building permit set. The installation on it, with its electrical diagram, is drawn as the solar set.

Solar sets close with a lead's review, and one fixed amount covers them

Every solar set is read by the drafter, then by a second drafter, then by a lead. The lead's read is the quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) review. Unlimited revisions within the agreed scope are included.
