The significance of the amendment to the construction law for the PV sector – our comments for GLOBEnergia

9 July 2025 • Autor: Kancelaria Brysiewicz Bokina i Wspólnicy

Since September this year, there has been an obligation to agree with a fire safety expert and to notify the authorities of the State Fire Service of the design of any photovoltaic installation with a capacity of more than 6.5 kWp. This requirement was in place in the past, but now the provision in the construction law has been extended.


Attorney Jan Saklawski explains to the GLOBEnergia Editorial Board that, from the perspective of the photovoltaic industry, it is undoubtedly important to clearly categorise micro-installations as facilities that do not require both a building permit and a notification to the competent architectural-construction authority. However, in the case of installations with an installed capacity of more than 6.5 kW, it will be necessary to make arrangements with a fire protection expert in terms of compliance with fire protection requirements and then notify the State Fire Service authorities.

Prawo budowlane jest jednym z aktów prawnych, które przez częste i nierzadko nieprzemyślane nowelizacje stał się tworem nieczytelnym, pełnym legislacyjnych absurdów i niemal niemożliwym do odkodowania przez nie wyspecjalizowanego prawnika.

-Jan Saklawski.
