EXPEDITED PERMIT PROCESS FOR SIVTALL-SCALE PV SYSTEMS MICRo_INVERTER The information in rhis guideline is intended ro help local jurisdicrions and contractors identify when PV sysrem insrallarions are simple, needing only a basic review and when an installation is more complex. It is likely that 50 % -75% of all residential systems will comply wirh lhese simple criteria. For projects thar fail to meer the simple criteria. resolution steps have been suggesred ro provide as a path ro permit approval. Re quired lfllorrnation Jor Perrnit : l Sire plan showing location of major componenrs on the property. This drawing need not be exacrly ro scale, bur ir should represent relative Iocation of componenis ar site (see supplied example site plan). PV arrays on dwellings with a 3'perimeter space ar ridge and sides may nor need separare fire service review. 2.

Step 9: 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: 1 PV modules, utility-interactive inverters, and combiner boxes are identined for use in PV systems. 2. The PV array is composed of 4 series srrings or less per inverrer. J. The toul inverter capacity has a continuous ac power outpur 13,440 Watrs or less 4. The ac interconnection point is on the load side of service disconnecling means (690.64(8)). 5. One of the standard electrical diagrams (El.l, El.l a, El.lb, or El.lc) can be used to accurately represent rhe PV system. Inleractive PDF diagrams are available at www.solarabcs.org/permitting. Fill out the standatd electrical diagram completely. A guide to the electrical diagram is provided to help the applicant understand each blank tofll in. U the elec1'ical system is more complex than the standerd electrical diagram can elJectively communicate, provtde an alternative diagram with appropriate detail. 2 EXPEDITED PERMIT PROCESS FOR PV SYSTEMS MICRO.INVERTER
