Rooftop solar is permitted across Gloucester County municipalities. A homeowner needs a construction permit under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code, licensed electrical work, and an interconnection agreement with the local utility, Atlantic City Electric or PSE&G, before energizing the system.
New Jersey treats residential solar as a routine accessory use, and no Gloucester County municipality bans rooftop panels. Installation requires building and electrical subcode permits under the Uniform Construction Code, and the wiring must meet the National Electrical Code. The system connects to the grid under a net-metering interconnection agreement with the serving utility, Atlantic City Electric or PSE&G. Ground-mounted arrays must meet the municipal zoning setbacks and, if near a wetland or in a flood hazard area, may need an NJDEP permit, and in the Pinelands portions of Monroe and Franklin townships, Pinelands review as well.
Energizing a solar system without an interconnection agreement violates utility rules and forces disconnection. Unpermitted or unlicensed electrical work fails inspection and draws municipal construction-code enforcement.
