Stop dedicating in-house staff to solar permit documentation. Outsource your solar permit documentation service to Permit Design — and get complete, NEC 2020-compliant plan sets delivered in 24–48 hours for any Arkansas AHJ.
Producing solar permit drawings and plan sets in-house creates fixed overhead, staffing bottlenecks, and code compliance risk. Here's why 150+ Arkansas solar companies outsource to Permit Design.
Arkansas is the #37 residential solar market nationally — and average AHJ review times of 9 business days at Little Rock Building Division mean permit documentation quality directly impacts your project schedule. The AR Net Metering Law is actively pulling new homeowners into the market, increasing installer workloads. Most growing Arkansas solar companies find that outsourcing permit drawings to Permit Design is the fastest path to higher volume without adding fixed in-house drafting overhead.
In-house solar permit documentation often takes 3–5 days. Our Arkansas team delivers complete plan sets in 24–48 hours — regardless of your project volume. Same-day rush available.
We know what Little Rock Building Division, Pulaski County Permits, and every Arkansas AHJ expect. Our plan sets don't generate correction requests — because we build them to each AHJ's specific checklist from the start.
Pay only for the plan sets you need. No salary overhead, no benefits, no software licensing. Outsourcing Arkansas permit drawings to Permit Design scales perfectly with your project volume.
Staying current with NEC 2020 & Arkansas Fire Prevention Code and local Arkansas amendments is a full-time job. Our team maintains continuous knowledge of every Arkansas code update — you never have to worry about using the wrong edition.
Entergy Arkansas and Southwestern Electric Power (AEP) each have specific interconnection documentation requirements. Our Arkansas plan sets cover both — no separate utility package, no extra steps.
If your Arkansas AHJ requests changes to any sheet in the plan set, we revise at no charge — same-day for most requests. Your permit approval is our shared goal.
Arkansas is the #37 solar market nationally for residential solar installations. With approximately 68 MW of residential solar installed in 2024 and average AHJ review times of 9 business days at Little Rock Building Division, getting your permit documentation right on the first submission directly impacts project profitability. The AR Net Metering Law is the primary state-level financial incentive driving installer activity in Arkansas.
For Arkansas solar installers, permit turnaround time is a direct cost. Every business day a permit sits in AHJ review is a day the project cannot be installed — and 9 days is the average at Little Rock Building Division. Jurisdictions that receive complete, AHJ-ready plan sets on first submission consistently process permits faster than the average. An incomplete first submission at Little Rock Building Division can add another 9 days or more to your project timeline, pushing installation and PTO out by weeks.
Our Arkansas solar permit drawing service is purpose-built for this reality. Every plan set we produce for Arkansas projects is prepared to Little Rock Building Division's specific checklist — not a generic national template. That means our Arkansas clients average first-pass approval rates well above the statewide average, and spend far less time chasing corrections, resubmitting paperwork, or explaining documentation to Arkansas reviewers.
