Rooftop solar installations in Duluth require a building permit and electrical permit. Net metering interconnection handled through Georgia Power or Jackson EMC depending on service territory.
Duluth Building Department issues building and electrical permits for solar PV systems. Structural plans must show roof load capacity; electrical plans must show inverter, disconnect, and bonding. After installation, final inspection and utility interconnection approval are required before operation. Georgia Power's Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources tariff governs net metering (limited monthly netting, not full 1:1). Ground-mount systems must meet zoning setbacks.
Unpermitted systems: stop-work order, retroactive permit, possible disconnection by utility.
