Tips

  • Green River does not publish a solar-specific permit type or fee — budget using the general valuation-based building and electrical fee tables and confirm exact project cost classification with Development Services before applying.
  • Structural calculations for roof-mounted solar should reference the city's amended IRC Table R301.2(1) snow load (30 psf) and wind speed (115 mph) design criteria.
