Marana requires building and electrical permits for solar panel installations but has streamlined the process consistent with Arizona solar-friendly policies. Rooftop systems on single-family homes follow an expedited review process.
Solar panel installations in Marana require a building permit and electrical permit from Development Services. The town has adopted a streamlined permit process for standard residential rooftop solar systems consistent with Arizona's pro-solar policies. Permit applications typically require a site plan, system specifications, structural load calculations (especially important for flat-roof adobe and stucco homes common in the Sonoran Desert), and electrical one-line diagrams. Interconnection with Tucson Electric Power (TEP) requires a separate utility application. Marana does not impose additional aesthetic restrictions on solar panels beyond standard building code safety requirements. Ground-mounted solar arrays may require additional zoning review for setback and height compliance. Arizona offers state tax incentives for solar installations.
Unpermitted solar installation: stop-work order and requirement to obtain permit. Electrical code violations: correction notice.
