EXPEDITED PERMIT PROCESS FOR SMALL-SCALE PV SYSTEMS STANDARD STRINC SYSTEM The information in this guideline is inrended ro help loczl 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 % ot all residential systems will comply wirh these simple criteria. For projects that fail to meet the simple criteria, resolution sreps have been suggested to provide as a path to Permit approval. Requbed Information Jot Pefinit: l. Sire plan showing location of major components on the property. This drawing need nor be exacdy to scale, but it 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 nre service review. 2. Electrical diagram showing PV array conhguration. wiring system, overcurrent protection, inverter, disconnects, required signs. and ac connection to building (see supplied standard electrical diagram). 3. Specificalion sheers and installation manuals (if available) for all manufactured components including, but not limited to, PV modules, inverter(s). combiner box. disconnects, and mounting sysrem. Step 1 : Structural Review o[ PV Array Mounting System Is the array to be mounted on a defined, permitted roof structure?

Step 2: Electrical Review of PV System (Calculations lor Electrical Diagram) In order for a PV system to be consideied for an expedited permit process, the following must aPply: l. PV modules, urility-interactive inverters, and combiner boxes are identihed for use in PV systems. 2. The PV array is composed of 4 series strings or less per inverter. 3. The total inverler capacity has a continuous ac power output 13,440 Watts or less 4. The ac interconnection point is on the load side ol service disconnecting means (690.64(8)). 5. One ofthe smndard electrical diagrams (E L t , E | . I a, E I . 1 b, or E I . I c) can be used to accurately represent the PV sysrem. lnteractive PDF diagrams are available at www.solarabcs.org/permitting. Ftlt out the standard. electrical diagram completely. A guide to the electrical diagram is provided to help the applicant understand each btank to lll in. t! the electrical system is more complex thdn the standard electrical diagram can elJectively communicate, provide an alternative diagram with approPriate detail. 2 EXPEDITED PERMIT PRocTss FoR PV SYSTEMS f. g
