Solar design and permitting in Houston, TX requires strict adherence to City of Houston electrical and fire safety codes administered through the Houston Permitting Center. Licensed contractors must submit applications electronically via ProjectDox, with all engineering plans sealed by a Texas-registered professional engineer under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1001 compliance standards.

The city enforces 2015 International Building Code alongside NEC Article 690 specifications for photovoltaic systems, including maximum voltage calculations and conductor sizing requirements. Fire Code Section 1204 mandates specific roof access pathways and rapid shutdown labeling for solar arrays. All installations require CenterPoint Energy interconnection approval before receiving Permission to Operate. Structural inspections verify compliance through the CE-1387 Post Install Solar Inspection Letter, confirming proper array attachment to residential structures and electrical safety protocol adherence throughout Harris County jurisdictions.
