EXPEDITED PERMIT PROCESS FOR SMALL-SCALE PV SYSTEMS STANDARD STRINC SySTEIT The informarion in rhis guideline is intended to help local Jurisdicr ions and contractors identify when PV system installations are simple, needing only a basic review and when an installation is more complex. lt is lrkely rhat 50%-75% of all residential systems will comply with these simple criteria For projects thar fail to meet the simple criteria. resolution steps have been sugqested to provide as a path ro permit approval Required lnJormation Jor Permit: I Srre plan sho' rng locaflon of major components on the prd-pq;r1 ThF dBrrngneed nq be exactly to scale. but tt should represenr relarrve locarron or components at site (s#/Mtef,{|; (gl{,qql;*9\l arrays on dwelhngs with a I perimeter space at ridge and sides may not need separate hre service tevlsvr- 2.
