Euless, TX Solar Energy: Panel Permits (2026)

Solar photovoltaic systems in Euless require permits under the adopted International Residential Code, International Building Code, and National Electrical Code (Chapter 18 of the city code). Homeowners or solar contractors must submit plans including the array layout, structural attachment details, rapid shutdown compliance, inverter and conductor sizing, and a one-line electrical diagram. Rooftop systems on single-family homes typically need both a building and electrical permit; a separate structural letter from a Texas PE is required when the existing roof framing is undersized. Ground-mount arrays are treated as accessory structures and must meet setbacks, height, and lot coverage limits of Chapter 82. Fire access pathways on pitched roofs (typically 36 inches at the ridge and side setbacks) must be maintained per IFC/IRC requirements. After installation, electrical and final building inspections are required before the system can be energized. Interconnection agreements are handled by the serving utility (Oncor) through the ERCOT distributed generation process, separate from city permits. Building Inspections: 817-685-1400.
