Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code requires building and electrical permits for residential solar panel installations across all municipalities statewide.
The Pennsylvania UCC adopts the International Residential Code and National Electrical Code, requiring building and electrical permits for solar photovoltaic installations on homes. Municipalities enforcing the UCC must process permits using these standards and cannot waive them. Inspections include structural attachment, electrical interconnection, rapid shutdown compliance per NEC 690.12, and final commissioning. Net metering is regulated separately by the PA Public Utility Commission under 52 Pa. Code Chapter 75 for systems up to 5 megawatts.
Installing without permits triggers stop-work orders and UCC fines up to $1,000 per day, plus utility refusal to interconnect uninspected systems.
