National/state benchmark estimate — local tracked data pending

Texas contractors can use the SB1202 third-party plan review and inspection pathway to move around standard municipal backlogs. Oncor runs the interconnection queue independently from the City of Midland building department.

Where City of Midland projects stall

Solar delays rarely happen during drafting. Projects stall in the white spaces — waiting for inspection slots, or missing a Oncor deficiency email. PermitClock tracks all three active clocks in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a solar permit take in City of Midland?

The national/state benchmark estimate for permit processing in City of Midland is roughly 12 days. Local tracked data is accumulating and will replace this estimate as more field projects launch.

Does City of Midland support SolarAPP+ for instant permitting?

City of Midland does not use SolarAPP+. Texas contractors can use the independent SB1202 third-party plan review and inspection pathway to move around standard municipal review backlogs.

Who handles the solar interconnection queue in City of Midland?

Grid interconnection, net-metering, and final Permission to Operate (PTO) are handled by Oncor, on a separate administrative queue from the City of Midland building-department permit process. Projects often stall in the gap between permit approval and utility PTO.
