EXPEDITED PERMIT PROCESS FOR SMALL-SCALE I]V SYSTEMS The information in rhis guideline is inrended ro help local jurisdictions and contractors identify when PV system insrallations are simple, needing onty a basic revieq and when an installation is more complex. It is likely that 50 % -75% of all residential systems will comply with these simple criteria. For projecG that fail to meet the simple crileria. resolution steps have been suggested to provide as a path to permit approval Required lnJonnation for Petmit: t.
