Solar permitting in Topeka requires compliance with Shawnee County Building Code, which mandates an Affidavit of Code Compliance with all applications. This notarized affidavit confirms adherence to applicable building standards aligned with Topeka's municipal codes, ensuring proper installation oversight for residential and commercial arrays.
Installations must satisfy International Residential Code Section R324 for photovoltaic systems, addressing structural load calculations, roof-mounted system requirements, and pathway clearances for emergency access. Electrical work follows National Electrical Code Article 690, which establishes maximum voltage thresholds, conductor sizing specifications, and overcurrent protection standards for DC circuits and inverter connections. Projects require UL-certified inverters compliant with UL 1741 standards and panels meeting UL 1703 certification.
Evergy manages interconnection through the Kansas Net Metering and Easy Connection Act, governed by K.S.A. 66-1263 through 66-1271. Residential systems installed before July 2014 face 25 kW capacity limits, while commercial projects cannot exceed 200 kW. Evergy provides bi-directional meters at no additional cost, enabling net metering credits that roll forward monthly. Applications under 10 kW receive expedited review within 30 days.
