EXPEDITED PERMIT PROCESS FoR SMALL-SCALE PV SySTTMS, STANDARD STRING SYSTEM The information in this guideline is intended to help local jurisdictions and contractors identify when PV system installations are simple, needing only a basic review and when an installation is more complex. lI is likely lhat 50%-75% of all residential .systems will comply with these simple criteria. For projects (hat fail to meet the simple criteria, resolution steps have been suggesred Io provide as a path to permit approval Required Infonnation for Permit: I Site plan showing location of major components on the propefiy This drawing need nor be exactly to scale. but iI should represent relative location of components al sire (see supplied example site plan) PV arrays on dwellings with a 3 perime{er space at ridge and sides may no( need separate hre servrce review 2 Electrical diagram showing PV array conhguration. wiring system, overcurrenr proreclron. rnvertet drsconnects, required sjgns, and ac connection to building (see supplied standard electrjcal diagram). 3 Specihcalion sheets and installation manuals (if available) for all manufactured componenrs including, bul not limited to.
