Solar Permitting In San Diego, CA requires coordination with the City's Development Services Department and compliance with California Title 24 standards. Residential installations under 38.4 kW can qualify for expedited self-issued permits when designed per the city's template, avoiding traditional plan review. Systems must adhere to NEC Article 690 for electrical specifications and IRC R324 for photovoltaic installations.

Projects require approval from multiple agencies including fire departments for California Fire Code Section 1205.2 compliance, which mandates 36-inch roof pathways and proper ridge setbacks. Historical properties need review per San Diego Municipal Code Section 143.0212. All installations must coordinate with SDG&E through their Distribution Interconnection Information System for utility interconnection approval. Documentation includes site plans, electrical diagrams, structural calculations, and proof of professional licensure (C-10, C-46, or California registered engineer stamps). Processing typically completes within 30 days for standard residential systems.
