Paulding County requires a building and electrical permit for rooftop solar. Systems must meet the Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes, and interconnection runs through the local utility, GreyStone Power or Georgia Power, which sets the buyback rate.
Installing solar in Paulding County requires a building permit and an electrical permit from the county. Plans show panel layout, roof structural capacity, fire-access setbacks, and the inverter and disconnect. Work must meet the Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes, based on the International Residential Code and the National Electrical Code. Most of the county is served by GreyStone Power, an electric cooperative, with Georgia Power in some areas; the system connects under that utility's interconnection agreement. Georgia has no full retail net-metering mandate, so the utility sets the credit for excess generation, typically monthly netting below retail. The 2015 Solar Power Free-Market Financing Act permits third-party financing and power-purchase agreements.
Installing solar with unpermitted or unlicensed electrical work fails inspection and draws a correction order plus a retroactive permit fee. Energizing without an approved interconnection agreement violates utility rules and forces disconnection.
