How to use this page

Three checks before acting on a local result

Confirm the permit authority. This page is scoped to San Diego, CA. If a property is outside city limits or in a special district, confirm the local authority before using this as a planning path.

Keep permits and incentives separate. A rebate or utility incentive does not replace permit review, and an empty rebate section only means HomeReq has no approved local program record published for this project yet.

Open the official source before starting work. Use the source cards and verification dates as a trail back to the issuing department, utility, or program administrator.

Residential rooftop solar PV permit or electrical/building permit path

City of San Diego DSD says a Residential Rooftop-Mounted Solar PV Permit is required to install a residential rooftop-mounted solar PV system or solar photovoltaic shingles on residential property. For single-family, duplex, or townhouse roof installations designed under the DSD template, the permit can be self-issued without plan review when listed criteria are met, including the 38.4 kW AC maximum output limit and no structural, fire, or combination building permit trigger. Other solar scopes, including ground-mounted systems, structural modifications, new support structures, or non-qualifying buildings, should be routed through the DSD electrical or building permit path.
