Professional solar design and permitting in Seattle, WA ensures your installation meets stringent local requirements while maximizing system performance. Seattle's location in King County requires compliance with specific building codes and utility interconnection standards that streamline approval timelines and protect your investment in renewable energy.

Seattle projects must adhere to the 2018 Seattle Energy Code Section C411 for commercial solar zones and comply with NEC Article 690 rapid shutdown requirements. The Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI) oversees permit applications, with electrical permits starting at approximately $239 for residential systems under 7.7 kW. All installations connecting to Seattle City Light require an Interconnection Agreement and must follow the International Fire Code Section 1204 for proper access pathways and spacing. King County's solar-ready provisions under Appendix T mandate designated roof zones with structural capacity of 4 pounds per square foot to support future panel installations, ensuring long-term system viability.
