Solar permitting in Wichita, KS requires coordination between the Metropolitan Area Building and Construction Department and Evergy for successful project approval. Property owners must navigate the Wichita-Sedgwick County Unified Building and Trade Code to ensure system compliance before installation begins.
The permitting process starts with submitting detailed plans and specifications to the Building Official, who serves as the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), reviewing designs against the 2018 International Residential Code and 2023 National Electrical Code Article 690 requirements. Permit fees include $40 for initial approval covering two site inspections, with additional inspections billed at $15 each. All solar installations must incorporate proper grounding systems, rapid shutdown capabilities, and appropriate conductor sizing based on maximum photovoltaic circuit voltage calculations outlined in NEC Section 690.7.
Evergy interconnection procedures follow the Kansas Net Metering and Easy Connection Act, requiring systems to meet IEEE 1547 standards for grid-tied operation. Residential installations must maintain appropriate sizing relative to anticipated electrical load, with generating capacity limitations applying to systems installed after July 2026. Licensed contractors must provide UL-certified inverter specifications and complete post-installation inspections before receiving authorization for system energization and bi-directional meter installation.
