EXPEDITED PERMIT PROCESS FOR SMALL_SCALE PV SYSTEMS. STANDARD STRINC SYSTEM The information in lhis guideline is inrended ro help local jUrisdictions and conrractors rdentrfy when PV sysrem insrallarions are simplc. needing only a basic review and when a n installarion is more complex. It is :ikely ttrar 5,O % -75 % ol all residential systerns will comply with these sirrple criteria. For projects lhat fail to nleet the simple cnteria. rcsclutian steps :tave been suggested to provide as a path to permit approval. Reqrired InJormation fot Pennit: L Slre plan showing location o[ ma]or componenrs on the properry.
