Coweta County requires a building and electrical permit for rooftop solar. Systems must meet the Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes, and interconnection runs through the local utility, Georgia Power or Coweta-Fayette EMC, which sets the buyback rate.
Installing solar in Coweta County requires a building permit and an electrical permit from the county's building and permitting office. Plans show panel layout, roof structural capacity, fire-access setbacks, and the inverter and disconnect. Work must meet the Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes, based on the International Residential Code and the National Electrical Code. Depending on location, the property is served by Georgia Power or Coweta-Fayette EMC, an electric cooperative; the system connects under that utility's interconnection agreement. Georgia has no full retail net-metering mandate, so the utility sets the credit for excess generation, often below the retail rate.
Installing solar with unpermitted or unlicensed electrical work fails inspection and draws a correction order plus a retroactive permit fee. Energizing without an approved interconnection agreement violates utility rules and forces disconnection.
