Stop dedicating in-house staff to solar permit documentation. Outsource your residential solar plan set service to Permit Design — and get complete, NEC 2020-compliant plan sets delivered in 24–48 hours for any Louisiana AHJ.
Producing solar permit drawings and plan sets in-house creates fixed overhead, staffing bottlenecks, and code compliance risk. Here's why 150+ Louisiana solar companies outsource to Permit Design.
Louisiana is the #30 residential solar market nationally — and average AHJ review times of 13 business days at New Orleans LBSEP mean permit documentation quality directly impacts your project schedule. The LA Solar Energy Tax Credit (50%) is actively pulling new homeowners into the market, increasing installer workloads. Most growing Louisiana 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 Louisiana team delivers complete plan sets in 24–48 hours — regardless of your project volume. Same-day rush available.
We know what New Orleans LBSEP, East Baton Rouge Permits, and every Louisiana 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 Louisiana permit drawings to Permit Design scales perfectly with your project volume.
Staying current with NEC 2020 & Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code and local Louisiana amendments is a full-time job. Our team maintains continuous knowledge of every Louisiana code update — you never have to worry about using the wrong edition.
Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans each have specific interconnection documentation requirements. Our Louisiana plan sets cover both — no separate utility package, no extra steps.
If your Louisiana 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.
Louisiana is the #30 solar market nationally for residential solar installations. With approximately 110 MW of residential solar installed in 2024 and average AHJ review times of 13 business days at New Orleans LBSEP, getting your permit documentation right on the first submission directly impacts project profitability. The LA Solar Energy Tax Credit (50%) is the primary state-level financial incentive driving installer activity in Louisiana.
For Louisiana 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 13 days is the average at New Orleans LBSEP. Jurisdictions that receive complete, AHJ-ready plan sets on first submission consistently process permits faster than the average. An incomplete first submission at New Orleans LBSEP can add another 13 days or more to your project timeline, pushing installation and PTO out by weeks.
Our Louisiana solar permit drawing service is purpose-built for this reality. Every plan set we produce for Louisiana projects is prepared to New Orleans LBSEP's specific checklist — not a generic national template. That means our Louisiana clients average first-pass approval rates well above the statewide average, and spend far less time chasing corrections, resubmitting paperwork, or explaining documentation to Louisiana reviewers.
