EXPEDITED PER^IIT PROCESS FOR SNLALL-SCALE P\'S\-5TEN,lS <br />S IANDARD 5IRtsr., j\: tErrr <br />The information in this guideline is intended ro help local jurisd ictions and contractors idenrih/ when Pv system installations <br />arc :iimplc, nccding only n basic review and when an insraliation is more complex. Ir is likely rhar 50 % -75 % of all residendal <br />systems will comply with lhese simple criteria. For proJects that farl ro meet the simple criteria, resolurion sreps have been <br />suggested to provide as a path ro permit approval. <br />Reqrireil InJoflndtiofl for Pernit: <br />t Sire plan showing localion of major components on the prooerrv This drawinq need not be exacrlv to scale, but ir <br />should represenr relative locarion of components at site (see supplied example site plan).
