Solar Design and Permitting Service
Available for purchase when purchased with the majority of the system components. (Not for individual sale.)
Electrical PE Stamp & Structural PE Stamps are not included. The additional cost of $500-$850 per stamp is to be applied if required by the county or city.
EcoDirect offers a comprehensive design and permitting service to help our customers keep their projects on schedule without dealing with the hassles of sorting out ultra-specific local permitting requirements.
As anyone whose solar project has been delayed because of unique local permitting requirements can tell you, solar design and permitting can get very complex. It requires juggling state and federal requirements, and your specific area may also have some very specialized requirements.
For example, some areas require disconnecting combiner boxes in new installations; in others, it is still important but unnecessary. What happens if you get the wrong component and only find out once you've gone through the whole permitting process and been declined, delaying your solar project for weeks while you get the right pieces?
What is included?
- Data sheets for your solar panel, inverter, and any other applicable components
- Site plot plan
- Single line drawing
- Calculations for ampacity and voltage
- Full submittal package

The application for the solar system had been submitted to the Roseville Building Department.
The clerks at the Building Department said that the plan that was submitted was of the best quality they have ever seen submitted! They were really impressed. They just said "Wow!!!"
Thank you for the great job on the plan.
