Additional local evidence
Joliet’s Building Permit Forms page says applicants may email completed forms and required permit documents or deliver them to the City Hall permit drop-box. Solar applicants should confirm the applicable building and electrical forms, then keep the City permit record separate from ComEd interconnection approval.
Building Permit FormsSolar Power Midwest explicitly names Will County; Joliet availability, roof constraints, and ComEd review timing still vary by project.
Climate and property considerations
Joliet's cold winters, snow, freeze-thaw cycles, thunderstorms, and hail warrant roof, flashing, wind/snow, and clearance review.
Interconnection
ComEd's distributed-generation interconnection process applies to ComEd-served properties; the installer should submit the application and obtain approval before energizing.
Dated official sources
These primary sources are tied to the local claims above. Re-check them before signing because rules and program terms change.
