Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Solar panel installation usually requires a permit in Indiana. Confirm the specifics with Unincorporated Pulaski County.

Residential electrical work is governed by Chapters 34 to 43 of the 2020 Indiana Residential Code, and compliance with the Indiana Electrical Code (675 IAC 17, 2009 edition based on the 2008 NEC) is allowed instead; permits and inspections are issued locally. For customers of an investor-owned electric utility, interconnecting a customer generator follows the IURC interconnection rule, 170 IAC 4-4.3; customers of a municipal utility or rural electric cooperative should ask that utility for its terms. The state does not issue permits for or inspect one- and two-family dwellings; if the local unit has no building permit ordinance, no state office issues one instead, but the 2020 Indiana Residential Code still applies to the work.
