T} > EXPEDITED PERMIT PROCESS FOR SMALL.SCALE PV SYSTEMS . STANDARD STRINC SYSTEM The information in rhis guideline is intended to help local ju risdictions and contractors identify when PV sysrem installations are simple, needing only a basic revieW and when an insrallation is more complex. It is likely that 50%-75% of all residential sysrems will comply with these simple crireria. For projects that fail to meet the simple criteria, resolution steps have been suggesred to provide as a path to permit approval. Reguireil InJormation for Pennit: l. Sire plan showing location of major components on the property. This drawing need not be exactly to scale. but it should represenr relarive location of components ar site (see supplied example site plan). PV arrays on dwellings with a 3'perimeter space at ridge and sides may not need separate nre service review 2. Elecrrical diagram showing PV array confrguration, wiring sysrern, overcurrenr prorecrion, inverte( disconnecrs. required signs, and ac connection to building (see supplied standard electrical diagram). f. Speciftcarion sheers and insrallarion manuals (il available) for all manufactured components including. but not limited ro, PV modules. inverter(s), combiner box. disconnects. and mounting system.

Step 2: Electrical Review of PV System (Calculations for Electrical Diagram) In order for a Pv system to be considered for an expedited permit process, the following must apply: I PV modules. utility-inreracrive inverrers, and combiner boxes are identifred for use in PV systems. 2. The PV array is composed oF 4 series strings or less per inverter. 3. The roral inverter capaciry has a conrinuous ac power output 13,440 Watts or less 4. The ac inrerconnection poinr is on the load side of service disconnecring means (690.64(B)). 5. One of rhe srandard electrical diagrams (E l.l. El.la, El.lb, or El.lc) can be used to accurately represent the PV system. Interactive PDF diagrams are available at www.solarabcs.org/permitting. Fill out the standard electical diagram completely. A guide to the electrical diagram is provtded to help the applicant understand each blank to jll i1. Ij the electrical systetn ts more cotnplex than the standard electical diagram can elJectively communicate, provide an alternative diagram with appropriate detail. 2 EXPIDI] ED PERMIT PROCI:SS FOR PV SYS] IMS f.
