TL;DR
The procedure depends on location and project. Some sufficiently adapted installations require notification rather than a permit; verify conditions with the authority before ordering.
Definition
A building permit is administrative authorization. For solar, federal planning law and ordinance plus cantonal rules determine procedures by building, zone and configuration.
Procedure
Notification or permit
Heritage
Check procedure
Roof in agricultural zone
No blanket permit rule
Deadline
Per competent authority
An agricultural zone does not automatically require a permit for every roof: sufficiently adapted roof systems may qualify for notification. Heritage sites, protected areas, facades and ground-mounted systems need their exact procedure checked.
Ask the municipality for the procedure, deadline and documents for your address. Identify the applicant and costs of additional studies in the contract. Notification does not replace electrical requirements.
Related guides
Confirm the procedure for your address before ordering. Roof type, integration, heritage protection and current rules determine whether notification is sufficient or a permit is needed.
Appeal routes depend on procedure and applicable law. Permit exemption does not remove every way to assert rights. For a specific objection, consult the authority or legal advice.
