Permitting Plan Packages | DIY Off-Grid Solar Systems

Many AHJs (Authority Having Jurisdiction) require approved plans before a solar system installation can begin at a home or business. To meet these requirements, our permitting plan packages are available with or without professional engineer seals, structural and electrical, for your state.

If you order plans without a seal and later find out it’s required, you can easily upgrade. Any of our packages can be resubmitted and sealed at a later date for a simple add-on fee.

In alignment with industry best practices and state regulations, each permit plan set includes:

• Cover Sheet
• General Notes Sheet
• Site Plan Sheet
• Project Plan Sheet
• Racking Details
• Solar Electrical Diagram Sheet
• Placards Sheet
• Solar Structural Sheet
• Solar Equipment Data Sheets

• And if Included in Your Chosen Package, Electrical and Structural Engineer Stamping for Your State

If included in your chosen package, your plans will also feature an electrical and structural engineer stamping specific to your state.

We offer several plan package options to meet the needs of your specific situation, system and AHJ. Plan packages are AHJ-ready in as little as 4 business days after we receive your site-specific information. Simply purchase, upload your project details, and answer a few quick questions (see below) and a plan set will be designed to your specifications for a smooth off-grid solar installation.

Our Premier Permitting Plan Package is for our Complete DIY Solar Kits as well as our Boat Dock Kits (1KW – 50KW solar array size). This premier option includes both Electrical & Structural Engineer sealed plans for your state—ideal for comprehensive off-grid solar system compliance.

Permitting Plan Package with Electrical Seal for Your State

Permitting Plan Package with Structural Seal for Your State

Our Permitting Plan Package with Structural Engineer Seal is available for our Complete DIY Solar Kits and Boat Dock Kits (1KW – 50KW). Choose this when your AHJ requires structural-stamped plans only.

Our Basic Permitting Plan Package is available for our Complete DIY Solar Kits and Boat Dock Kits (1KW – 50KW). This package does not include any Professional Engineer stamping and works well where seals are not required by the AHJ.

Did you previously purchase a set of OMO plans without engineering seals and later find out your AHJ requires them? You can upgrade at any time. This add-on provides Electrical sealing ONLY of your plan set*. Your plans will be stamped by an Electrical Engineer for your state.

If your AHJ requires a structural seal after purchase, you can upgrade later as needed. This add-on provides Structural sealing ONLY of your plan set*. Your plans will be stamped by a Structural Engineer for your state.

*NOTE: This add-on service is only offered for plan kits previously purchased from OMO.
