Pearland's adopted building, electrical, and residential codes require a building and electrical permit before installing rooftop or ground-mounted solar photovoltaic systems on any property.
Pearland's Permits and Inspections Division administers the adopted International Residential Code, International Building Code, and National Electrical Code. Solar PV installations on homes and businesses require a combination building and electrical permit before work starts. Submittals typically include site plan, roof structural analysis or attestation, electrical single-line diagram, equipment specifications, and the contractor's master electrician license. Pearland inspects rough wiring and final tie-in, and the system cannot be energized until passing inspection and utility interconnection approval.
Stop-work order, double permit fees, and denial of utility interconnection until inspections are passed.
