Utah's State Construction Code adopts uniform electrical and structural standards for rooftop solar installations. The Utah Solar Access Act limits unreasonable local restrictions, and the Public Service Commission governs net metering under Utah Code Title 54.
Utah Code 10-9a-610 and 17-27a-610 (Solar Access) prevent municipalities and counties from prohibiting installation of solar collectors on rooftops, subject to reasonable health, safety, and aesthetic regulation. Utah's adoption of the International Residential Code and National Electrical Code through Title 15A creates uniform technical permit standards. The Utah Public Service Commission regulates utility interconnection and net-metering programs under Utah Code 54-15. While cities issue installation permits, they cannot ban residential solar outright.
A city ordinance that effectively prohibits solar may be challenged under the Solar Access Act. Installations without a permit may be cited and required to undergo retrospective inspection.
