Solar permitting in Reno, NV requires compliance with the 2023 National Electrical Code and 2024 International Building Codes, adopted by both the City of Reno and Washoe County effective July 1, 2025. Homeowners and installers benefit from streamlined submissions through the ONE Regional Licensing and Permits portal for faster processing.
All photovoltaic installations must adhere to NEC Article 690 for electrical safety standards and IRC residential building requirements. Understanding local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements ensures smooth approval and compliance with regional solar regulations. The International Fire Code mandates specific rooftop clearances, an 18-inch perimeter along roof edges and a three-foot pathway along the ridge for emergency access. Systems require approved UL-listed equipment from the California Energy Commission list and must meet NV Energy interconnection standards per Nevada Revised Statutes NRS 701B. A transitional grace period through December 31, 2025, allows permit applications under either 2018 or 2024 code editions, with full 2024 compliance required starting January 1, 2026.
