Interior Ministry Circular on Solar Panels

The Ministries of Interior and Municipalities, Public Works and Transport, and Energy and Water have issued a unified framework for the installation of solar panels with a capacity of less than 1.5 megawatts in Lebanon. This requires submitting an application to the local municipality or the Qaimmaqam (sub-governor), along with supporting technical and administrative documents, including certificates from licensed engineers and a map indicating installation sites and the stakeholders involved in approval. Technical conditions have been specified regarding the height of the panels, with a maximum of 3 meters on rooftops within buildings less than 15 meters high, and 4.5 meters on taller buildings. Installation above staircases is prohibited. The height of the panels on the ground must not exceed two meters, and their tilt must be suitable for sunlight exposure. The municipal authority or Qaimmaqam must decide on the application within 15 days. If there is no response after this period, the application is considered approved, and installation can proceed immediately upon payment of the fees. Engineers are required to submit a certificate of compliance after the installation is completed. Approval cannot be granted for properties that are suspended or non-compliant. It is emphasized that permits must be finalized within one year of notification of approval; otherwise, they will be considered invalid.
