Provo, UT Solar Energy: Panel Permits (2026)

080, not just pulling a building permit. 080(1) makes generating or transmitting electric energy in the city unlawful without a license, and unauthorized generation can be grounds for disconnection at the Department Director's discretion. 080(2), the homeowner submits a license application for consumer generation to the Department, which then has thirty days to review it and either issue or deny the license; a denial can be appealed to the Mayor within thirty calendar days of the written notice. The Director may only issue the license if the installation will conform to all local, state and federal requirements, will not add technical or financial burden to the electric system beyond what is normal for properly designed distributed generation, and will not endanger the health, safety or welfare of residents or Department employees.

080(4)(e): the license is conditioned on signing the City's standard Net Metering Agreement and adhering to the Department's current Net Metering Standards. Noncompliance with those standards triggers immediate suspension and disconnection without advance notice, and the licensee bears the Department's actual enforcement costs. 00 for 200-400 amp commercial/residential service. 080(6) for everyone else, with unused credits lapsing at the February billing cycle each year. The Department may also inspect licensed generation facilities at any reasonable time and can impose conditions to protect system reliability.
