Rooftop solar installations in Glen Cove require a building permit and electrical permit under Chapter 111. The NYS Unified Solar Permit streamlines residential rooftop solar review when adopted; Glen Cove processes most residential solar through standard building department channels.
Applications include site plan, electrical one-line, equipment cut sheets, structural analysis (for roof loading), and interconnection agreement with PSEG Long Island. Most rooftop residential systems are routinely approved as they are minor accessory uses to the principal dwelling. Ground-mounted systems trigger additional zoning analysis and may require Site Plan Review for larger arrays. NY State Public Service Law protects solar access; HOAs cannot blanket-prohibit panels but can impose reasonable aesthetic conditions.
Unpermitted solar installation is a Chapter 111 violation enforceable under § 1-15 (up to $1,000 / 15 days). PSEG-LI may refuse interconnection without proper permits.
