Professional solar permitting in Buffalo, NY ensures your installation meets all Erie County and City of Buffalo requirements. Our comprehensive permit service handles building code compliance, electrical documentation, and utility interconnection applications, allowing you to focus on your renewable energy goals while we manage regulatory complexities.

Buffalo solar projects must comply with the 2025 NYS Uniform Code and 2025 Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State, effective December 31, 2025. All installations require adherence to IRC Section R324 for photovoltaic system design and NEC Article 690 for electrical safety standards. The City of Buffalo requires building permits through their online portal, with permits visibly displayed at work sites during construction. National Grid serves as the primary utility provider, requiring NYS Standardized Interconnection Requirements (SIR) compliance for grid-tied systems under 5 MW. Erie County's Department of Environment and Planning coordinates with municipal authorities for large-scale solar facilities, ensuring proper documentation and regulatory oversight throughout the approval process.
