What the state sources show
- Check the focused guides below for the published project areas.
A statewide answer can still depend on the city or county, the utility territory, the recorded declaration or lease, the ownership of a roof or parking space, the equipment configuration, and the effective date of the rule.
What still varies locally
Before starting work, identify the local building, electrical, mechanical, fire, zoning, water, historic, or land-use office that has jurisdiction over the property. Ask the serving utility about service, metering, interconnection, or permission to operate. Review the governing documents, lease, contract, insurance, financing, and maintenance or restoration terms for the location.
