Stop dedicating in-house staff to solar permit documentation. Outsource your outsourced solar permit drawings to Permit Design — and get complete, NEC 2020-compliant plan sets delivered in 24–48 hours for any Kansas AHJ.
Producing solar permit drawings and plan sets in-house creates fixed overhead, staffing bottlenecks, and code compliance risk. Here's why 150+ Kansas solar companies outsource to Permit Design.
Kansas is the #35 residential solar market nationally — and average AHJ review times of 8 business days at Wichita Building Inspection mean permit documentation quality directly impacts your project schedule. The Evergy Solar Renewable Energy Credit is actively pulling new homeowners into the market, increasing installer workloads. Most growing Kansas 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 Kansas team delivers complete plan sets in 24–48 hours — regardless of your project volume. Same-day rush available.
We know what Wichita Building Inspection, Johnson County Building, and every Kansas 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 Kansas permit drawings to Permit Design scales perfectly with your project volume.
Staying current with NEC 2020 & Kansas Building Code and local Kansas amendments is a full-time job. Our team maintains continuous knowledge of every Kansas code update — you never have to worry about using the wrong edition.
Evergy (KCP&L / Westar Energy) and Empire District Electric each have specific interconnection documentation requirements. Our Kansas plan sets cover both — no separate utility package, no extra steps.
If your Kansas 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.
Kansas is the #35 solar market nationally for residential solar installations. With approximately 72 MW of residential solar installed in 2024 and average AHJ review times of 8 business days at Wichita Building Inspection, getting your permit documentation right on the first submission directly impacts project profitability. The Evergy Solar Renewable Energy Credit is the primary state-level financial incentive driving installer activity in Kansas.
For Kansas 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 8 days is the average at Wichita Building Inspection. Jurisdictions that receive complete, AHJ-ready plan sets on first submission consistently process permits faster than the average. An incomplete first submission at Wichita Building Inspection can add another 8 days or more to your project timeline, pushing installation and PTO out by weeks.
Our Kansas solar permit drawing service is purpose-built for this reality. Every plan set we produce for Kansas projects is prepared to Wichita Building Inspection's specific checklist — not a generic national template. That means our Kansas clients average first-pass approval rates well above the statewide average, and spend far less time chasing corrections, resubmitting paperwork, or explaining documentation to Kansas reviewers.
