Solar in Irving
Irving's ordinance fee list, item 26, reads "$75 + $55 per hour for plan review. Permit Minimum: $130." For residential PV up to 38 kW, with or without storage, the city's third-party solar permits page routes the application through SolarAPP+ in the MGO portal, and SolarAPP+ charges a processing fee of its own. Irving Inspections is at City Hall, 825 W. Irving Blvd., 2nd Floor, open weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at (972) 721-2371.
Its FAQ says the city checks contractor licensing with the State of Texas on every building permit application. On the fees page, the single-trade electrical line (item 13) covers temporary service poles, mobile home service, utility releases and service changes at $65; the page lists plumbing and mechanical single-trade permits at the same figure, and it is the electrical schedule's line, not a solar fee. Irving appears in the ACS with 1986 as the housing stock's median build year, 38.1 percent of households owning their home and an owner-occupied home value of $315,600 at the median.
What solar costs near Irving
We haven't collected solar quotes from Irving, so this page gives no city price. The statewide estimates are on each service page, and the Michigan page lists them with what solar installers are paid ($23.19 an hour in BLS data for May 2025, which is pay, not price), the printed city permit fees and the utility application fees. How we estimate costs.
Licenses and permits for solar in Irving
MCL 339.5737(1) requires a license for the business of electrical contracting, and the Act's definition of electrical wiring covers generating equipment, so ask the installer for its electrical contractor license number. The utility's interconnection application is a separate filing from the city permit.
