Louisiana adopts the National Electrical Code via the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code, setting consistent permit and inspection standards for solar PV installations. Local jurisdictions issue permits but must apply the state-adopted electrical and structural codes uniformly.
Under La. R.S. 40:1730.21 et seq., the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code Council adopts the IRC, IBC, and NEC governing rooftop and ground-mount solar PV systems. Permits are required for all grid-tied installations, and electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician under the State Licensing Board for Contractors when the project exceeds $10,000. Interconnection follows the Public Service Commission net metering rule applicable to investor-owned utilities. Plan review covers structural attachment, electrical sizing, rapid shutdown compliance, and grounding. Local building departments enforce the state-adopted code without authority to weaken it.
Unpermitted solar installation: stop-work orders, fines, removal/correction orders, and potential utility refusal to interconnect the system.
