Full Breakdown
Under Brick's electrical subcode fee schedule in Chapter 145 (the Township's administration of the state Uniform Construction Code), a photovoltaic installation is billed and permitted by individual component. Panels are charged in tiers -- $100 for one to 50 panels, $250 for 51 to 100, and $750 above 100 -- while inverters, micro-inverters (flat $75), and disconnect or combiner-box panels each carry their own separate fee based on kilowatt or ampere rating. The construction/electrical subcode office issues the permit before work begins.
Violations & Fines
Installing photovoltaic equipment without a permit violates the Code; under the general penalty at § 1-15, Brick can impose a fine up to $2,000, up to 90 days' imprisonment, or community service, with each day a separate offense.
