SDG&E Solar Permit Cities

21 verified cities across 2 counties

Informational only. This page summarizes verified per-city facts already published on each city's own guide. SDG&E is the interconnection and distribution utility for the cities listed. The city's own building department, not SDG&E, issues the construction/electrical permit. Not legal, engineering, or permit advice.

SDG&E's role

SDG&E reviews and approves grid interconnection for residential solar and battery systems in the cities below (a separate process from, and usually reviewed independently of, each city's building/electrical permit). See why these are two separate approvals.
