How to use this page

Three checks before acting on a local result

Confirm the permit authority. This page is scoped to Philadelphia, PA. 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.

Electrical permit, PECO interconnection, and building permit check for solar PV

Philadelphia L&I says solar panel installation, replacement, repair, renewal, or alteration needs an Electrical Permit. Solar projects that are not eligible for the EZ solar path also need a Building Permit for Solar Panels and Structure and plans, and L&I directs applicants to submit a private solar interconnection application to PECO before applying for permits. Solar PV projects should therefore confirm EZ eligibility, roof structure, historic status, electrical scope, PECO interconnection, and inspections before installation.
