Professional solar design and permitting in Columbus, OH requires strict adherence to Ohio Building Code requirements and specialized documentation. Systems must meet OBC 108.2.9 standards, with plans sealed by Ohio-registered design professionals and reviewed by approved special inspectors. Understanding Authority Having Jurisdiction requirements is essential, as the city's Building and Zoning Services typically processes complete applications within three business days.

Franklin County mandates compliance with NEC Article 690 for all photovoltaic installations, covering circuit requirements, rapid shutdown systems, and grounding specifications. Projects must obtain electrical permits through registered contractors and coordinate with AEP Ohio for interconnection approval. The streamlined review process accommodates both residential and commercial installations when proper engineering analysis demonstrates structural compliance. Columbus's progressive solar policies support efficient permitting while maintaining rigorous safety standards through the special inspection protocol.
