Lehi, UT Solar Energy: Panel Permits (2026)

1 states roof-mounted solar energy systems, and solar roof shingles on any side of a structure, are allowed as a permitted use, which means the installation does not go through the Planning Commission or a conditional use review. B. Collectors may not extend above the roof line, or above the parapet wall on a flat roof, and cannot reflect light into a neighbor's windows. Frames, conduit and mounting brackets must blend with the roof surface in black, brown, green, tan or another earth tone, and panel array ends must be covered.

Residential systems are capped at a maximum power output of 10 kW; a nonresidential system can exceed that only after negotiating a higher output directly with the Lehi Power Director, since Lehi runs its own municipal electric utility rather than being served by an investor-owned utility. F bars connecting to the grid at all until Lehi Power has inspected the installation. E puts installation and maintenance of protective equipment, and liability for any damage the customer's generating equipment does to the city's distribution system, on the customer.

G. 080 standards instead, including a rear/side-yard placement rule, the same 10 kW cap, a 30 percent lot-coverage limit, and underground power lines to the building.
