SMUD Solar Permit Cities

4 verified cities across 1 county

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

SMUD's role

SMUD 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.
