Solar design and permitting in Buffalo, NY requires compliance with both New York State Unified Code and City of Buffalo regulations for successful project completion. Residential installations must meet IRC Section R324 standards while adhering to NEC Article 690 for electrical safety requirements, including rapid shutdown provisions under 690.12 and proper DC conductor sizing specifications.

The City of Buffalo Department of Permit and Inspection Services mandates both construction and electrical permits for solar installations, with applications submitted through their ePermits portal at 65 Niagara Square. Projects require Professional Engineer or Registered Architect stamped plans demonstrating structural capacity per BCNYS standards. National Grid's Simplified Application Process governs interconnection for systems under 15kW, while Erie County's SolSmart Gold designation streamlines local approvals. New installations must comply with the 2020 Fire Code of New York State for rooftop access clearances and follow National Grid's Phase One NEM requirements for net metering eligibility, ensuring proper metering infrastructure and CBC charge compliance.
