Solar permitting in St. Petersburg, FL requires compliance with the Florida Building Code 8th Edition and coordination with Pinellas County's building department. Property owners must navigate local regulations while ensuring their photovoltaic systems meet both structural and electrical requirements for safe installation.
St. Petersburg installations must adhere to FBC Section R324, which governs solar energy system requirements including roof load calculations per R324.4.1.1 and wind resistance standards under R324.4.1.2. All electrical work must comply with NEC Article 690, addressing photovoltaic system grounding, wiring, and inverter specifications. Projects require digitally signed and sealed plans from a Florida-licensed design professional, with equipment meeting UL 1703 standards for solar panels and UL 1741 for inverters. Roof access pathways outlined in FBC 324.6 ensure safe maintenance access while setback requirements per R324.6.2 maintain proper clearances. Duke Energy interconnection agreements are mandatory for grid-tied systems, requiring utility review and approval before final inspection. The city's Division of Construction Services processes permit applications with notarized property owner signatures, coordinating building, electrical, and zoning reviews to ensure full compliance with Florida statutes and local ordinances.
