North Dakota requires electrical permits for solar photovoltaic installations under NDCC Chapter 43-09 and building permits under the state-adopted IRC and IBC. The State Electrical Board licenses installers and inspects work uniformly statewide.
All solar PV installations in North Dakota require an electrical permit issued by the State Electrical Board under NDCC Chapter 43-09. Only licensed master or class B electricians may perform solar installations; homeowner self-installation is restricted to owner-occupied single-family dwellings with proper permitting. The state adopts the National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 690 governing PV systems, including rapid-shutdown and grounding requirements. Building permits for roof-mounted arrays are issued locally under the state-adopted IRC, which requires structural review for load capacity. Net metering is governed by Public Service Commission rules under NDCC Chapter 49-02. The state framework preempts weaker local electrical standards.
Unlicensed solar installation is a class B misdemeanor; uninspected work cannot be energized and may void homeowner insurance and warranties.
