Southern California Solar Permitting
Solar Permit Specialists supports contractors throughout California, but Southern California is where SPS began and remains one of the regions we serve most heavily. Our team coordinates solar design, permit running, engineering, utility applications, and project deliverables across San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, and Los Angeles counties.
Hundreds of jurisdictions. One experienced permitting team.
Solar permitting requirements can change considerably from one authority having jurisdiction to another. SPS has worked across more than 400 California jurisdictions since 2011, helping contractors navigate different submittal procedures, plan-review requirements, plan-check cycles, and utility processes.
While we serve contractors throughout California and beyond, the counties below represent our original market and some of the areas where our team has accumulated the deepest permitting experience.
Our core Southern California markets
We support projects throughout these counties, including incorporated cities and county jurisdictions. The cities below are examples of areas our team has encountered—not a complete service-area list.
