What kinds of permits and inspections are required for a renewable energy system?
Requirements vary, but you should check with your county planning or permitting department to find out about zoning regulations and permit requirements for renewable energy systems on your property. Before you invest too much time and money, research potential legal and environmental obstacles. Particularly for wind generators, some jurisdictions, for example, restrict the height of the structures permitted in residentially zoned areas, although variances are often obtainable. Your neighbors might object to a wind machine that blocks their view, or they might be concerned about noise. We can assist you in obtaining permits from your local officials.
