<br />The information in (his guideline is inrended ro help local jurisdicrions and conrracDrs idenrify when PV system installations
<br />are simple, needing only a basic review, and when an insBllation is more complex. lt is likely rhat 50%-75% of all residential
<br />syslems will €omply with these simple criteria. For projects rhat fail ro meet the simple crireria, resolurion steps have been
<br />suggested to provide as a path to permh approval.
<br />Required InJormation Jor Permit:
<br />l. Site plan showing location of major components on the properry. This drawing need nor be exactly to scale, but it
<br />should represent relative locarion of components ar site (see supplied example site plan). pV arays on dwellings
<br />with a 3'perimeter space at ridge and sides may not need separare hre service review
<br />2. Electrical diagram showing Pv array confrguration, wlring system. overcurrent protection. invefter, disconnects.
<br />required signs, and ac connecrion ro building (see supplied standard elecrrical diagram).
<br />3. SPecihcarion sheets and installation manuals (if available) for all manufacrured componenrs including, bur nor
<br />limired ro, PV modules, invener(s). combiner box, disconnects, and mountlng system.

<br />In order for a PV s)rst m to b. consldctrrl for sn cxpedltld p€rmlt prcc.ss, the fiollo$rlng must apply:
<br />l. PV modules, utility-interactive inveners, and combiner boxes are identifrcd for use in PV sysrems.
<br />2. The PV array is composed of 4 series srrings or less per invener.
<br />5. The total lnverter capaclry has a conrinuous ac power output t3,440 Wans or less
