Do I need a permit for solar panel installation in Liberty Township?

Permit required

Yes. In Ohio, solar panel installation generally requires a permit, and Liberty Township is no exception.

A rooftop or ground-mounted PV system involves both structural and electrical work, so under the Residential Code of Ohio it requires a permit and is not covered by any minor-repair exemption. Utility interconnection is a separate approval from your building or electrical permit; both must be complete before the system is energized.
