Each township's Construction Official issues building, electrical, and (for roof load) structural subcode permits.

Fire setbacks follow IRC Appendix RB and NJ-specific amendments: 18-inch ridge clearance and 36-inch paths on roofs larger than specific thresholds. Roof structural analysis required if panels add significant dead load. Electrical interconnection with Jersey Central Power & Light (most of Ocean County) or PSE&G requires a signed interconnection agreement and Board of Public Utilities-approved meter. Net metering (N.J.S.A. 48:3-87) credits excess generation at retail rate. SREC-II or Successor Solar Incentive program (SuSI) provides per-MWh credits. Ground-mount systems in Pinelands (Manchester, Lacey, Berkeley, Little Egg Harbor) need Pinelands Commission review.
