. EXPEDI-I.ED I,ERMIT I]I].oCESS FoR SMAI,I--SCALE PV SYSTEMS. .MICRO-INVER'fEII The information in this guideline is intended to help local jurisdictions and contracroB identify when PV system installations are simple, needing only a basic revieu and when an installation is more complex. It is likely that 50 % -75% of all residenrial systems will comply with these simple criteria. For projects that fail to meet the simple criteria. resolurion sreps have been suggested to provide as a path to permit approval. Required. lnJormation Jor Permit: L Site plan showing location of major components on the properry This drawing need not be exactly ro scale, but it should represent 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 Rre service review. 2. Electrical diagram showing Pv array conRguration, wiring system. overcurrent prorection, inverter, disconnec6. required signs, and ac connection to building (see supplied srandard electrical diagram). 3. Specification sheets and insrallation manuals (if available) for all manufactured components including, but not limited to, PV modules, invener(s), combiner box, disconnects, and mounting system.

Step 2, Electrical Review o[ PV System (Calculations lor Electrical Diagram) In order for a PV system to be considercd for an expedited pâ‚¬rmlt process, tte fiollowing must apply: l. PV modules, utility-interactive inverters, 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 total invener capacity has a continuous ac power output 13,440 Watts or less 4. The ac interconnecdon point is on the load side of service disconnecting means (690.64(8)), 5.
