The intent of using this checklist is to provide transparent and well-defined information to minimize the number of required revisions, improve permit application quality, and accelerate the application and review process.  \nCodes and Design Criteria  \nPer the Toledo Municipal Code Section 1301.06, we follow the most current edition of the Residential Code of Ohio and National Electrical Code which the Ohio Board of Building Standards has adopted for the State of Ohio. Please contact us for the specific code cycle if you have questions or concerns.  \nThe following local design criteria should be used:  \nRequired Permits  \nTwo permits with an approved set of plans must be obtained prior to the start of any work. Two sets of Ohio stamped engineered plans with structural analysis are required to be submitted for review along with a building permit application and an electrical permit application. These permits cannot be done online, but will need to be submitted to our office for review. Complete the following permit application form(s) and submit any additional required documents.  \nResidential Solar PV System:  \n􀂅 Electrical Permit  \n􀂅 Building Permit  \nCommercial/non-residential Solar PV System:  \n􀂅 Electrical Permit  \n􀂅 Building Permit  \nPrimary Use Ground-mounted Solar PV System:  \n􀂅 Electrical Permit  \n􀂅 Building Permit  \n􀂅 Zoning Permit  \nAdditional Required Documents  \n􀂅 Site Plan  \n• Site plan should show the location of major components on the property. The site plan drawing need not be exactly to scale, but it should represent relative location of components at site (see supplied example site plan) .  \n• PV arrays and energy storage systems in compliance with IFC fire setback requirements need no separate fire service review.  \n􀂅 Two sets of Ohio Stamped Engineered Plans with Structural Analysis  \n• Electrical diagram/worksheets should show PV and energy storage system configuration, wiring system, overcurrent protection, inverter, disconnects, required signs, and AC connection and disconnect to the building.  \n• Plans submitted may not be any smaller than 11”x17” and must be in a readable format. You will be asked to resubmit plans if the review is not possible with the submittal.  \n􀂅 Specification sheets and installation manuals (if available)  \n• Provide spec sheets and manuals for all manufactured components including, but no limited to, PV modules, inverter(s), combiner box, disconnects, and mounting system  \nContractor Requirements  \nThe electrical contractor doing the work for you or your company must be licensed as an electrical contractor with the State of Ohio, and must also register their license with our department in order todo work in the City of Toledo.  \nIf the work is for just installing the panels on the existing roof, a home remodelers license is not required to apply for the building permit, but the electrical contractor can pull that permit under their electrical license registration.  \nAll contractors are also required to register with our City of Toledo Taxation department to obtain a Certificate of Tax Compliance before any permits can be applied for. We need a copy of the Toledo Certificate of Tax Compliance with your registration. Taxation’s phone number is 419-245-1672.  \nPermit Fees  \nPermit Fees are based on the two permits that are processed. The electrical permit application has the permit fees based on the total amps for the solar arrays or photovoltaic mod system being applied for. The building permit application is based on the square footage of the project as well as a base fee for the building permit and plan review.  \nComplete fee information can be found in the City","cbCaijTzu6aJmztw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijTzu6aJmztw","pdf",391691,"English","# Codes and Design Criteria\n# Required Permits\n## Residential Solar PV System\n## Commercial/non-residential Solar PV System\n# Additional Required Documents\n# Contractor Requirements\n# Permit Fees\n# Submit Permit Application\n# Review Process Timeline\n# Permit Status\n# Permit Expiration\n# Scheduling an Inspection and the Inspection Process","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the solar PV system permitting checklist?\",\"answer\":\"It provides transparent, well-defined minimum information and project plan details to reduce revisions, improve application quality, and speed up the permit application and review process.\"},{\"question\":\"What permits are required before starting any work?\",\"answer\":\"Two permits with an approved set of plans are required: an electrical permit and a building permit (plus a zoning permit for primary use ground-mounted solar PV systems).\"},{\"question\":\"How long does the City of Toledo take to review solar permit applications?\",\"answer\":\"Plan reviews are performed within 30 business days for completed residential or commercial/non-residential solar permit applications, though delays can occur if required information or licensing is missing.\"}]","Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System Permitting Checklist | PDF"]
