EXPEDITED PERMIT PROCESS FOR SMALL-SCALE PV SYSTEMS STANDARD STRING SYSTEM The information in this guideline is intended ro help local jurisdicrions and conrracrors idenrify when pV sysrem insrallations are simple, needing only a basic review and when an insEllation is more complex. Ir is likely rhar 50%-75% of all residenLial systems will comply with these simple criteria. For projects that fail to meet the simple crireria. resolurion sreps have been suggested to provide as a parh ro permir approval. Required Infonnatioi for Pemit: l. Site plan showing location of major componenrs on rhe properry. This drawing need nor be exacrly ro scale, but it should represenr relative location of components at site (see supplied example site plan). pV arrays on dwellings with a 3'perimeter space at ridge and sides may not need separate hre servtce review 2. Elecrical diagrarn showing PV array configuration, wiring system, overcurrenr prorection, inverter, disconnects, required signs, and ac connection to building (see supplied standard elecrrical diagram). 3. SPecincation sheets and insnllation manuals (if available) for all manufactured componenrs including, but not limited to, PV modules, inverter(s), combiner box. disconnec(s, and mountrnq sysrem h Step 1 : Structural Review o[ PV Array Mounting System l( Is the array to be mounted on a defined, permitted roof structure?
