EXPEDITED PERMIT PROCESS FOR SMALL-SCALE ['V SYSTEMS STANDARD STRINC SYSTEM The information in this guideline is intended co help local jurisdictions and contractors identify when PV system insEllations are simple, needing only a basic review and when an insEllation is more complex. It is likely thar 50 % -75 % of all residential systems will comply with these simple criteria. For proJects that fail to meet the simple criteria, resolution steps have been suggested to provide as a path ro permit approval. Re quir e d Infotmation.for Perfiit : l. Site plan showing location of major components on the property. This drawing need not be exactly to scale, bur ir 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 fire service review 2. Elecrrical diagram showing PV array conf,guration, wiring system, overcurrenl prorecrion, invefler, disconnects, required signs, and ac connection to building (see supplied standard electrical diagram). 3. Specihcation sheets and installation manuals (if available) for all manufactured components including, but not limited to, PV modules, inverter(s), combiner box, disconnects, and moun(ing system.

Step I : Electrical Review o[ PV System (Calculations lor Electrical Diagram) In order for a PV system to be considered for an expedited permit process, the following must apply; l. PV modules, utility-interactive inverters, and combiner boxes are identified for use in PV systems. 2. The PV array is composed of 4 series strings or less per inverter. 3. The total inverter capacity has a continuous ac power output 13,440 Warts or less 4. The ac interconnection point is on the load side of service disconnecting means (690.64(8)). 5.
