Inspection Information

When a solar project is completed, an inspection by the City of Milwaukee is needed for each permit issued: electrical and building inspections for solar PV installations, and plumbing and building inspections for solar hot water system installations.

The process for inspections is as follows:

• The Installer must call the City to request inspections using the contact information listed on each permit.
• The Installer must coordinate the inspections to satisfy all permits on the solar project.
• Electrical or plumbing inspections and building inspections can be scheduled within one to two days.
• The Installer must meet with each Inspector to close out the permits.
• Once the permits are approved and closed, the Inspector faxes the approved permits to We Energies as part of the interconnection process.

Please note, Installers must sign a waiver taking responsibility for the project installation if the system is not accessible to the inspectors. A sample letter of compliance is provided for reference.
