The information in this guideline is intended to help localjurisdictions and contractors identify when PV system installations are simple, needing only a basic review and when an installation is more complex. lt is likely that 50%-75% of all residential sysrems 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 to permit approval. Required lnformation for Pennit : I . Site plan showing location of major components on the property. This drawing need not be exactly 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 fire service review. 2. Electrical diagram showing PV array configuration, wiring system, overcurrent protection, inverter, disconnects, required signs, and ac connection to building (see supplied standard electrical diagram). 3. Specification sheets and installation manuals (if available) for all manufactured components including. but not limited to, PV modules, inverter(s), combiner box, disconnects, and mounting system. Step 1 : Structural Review of PV Array Mounting System Is the array to be mounted on a defined, permitted roof structure? Elyes EIno I,f No due to non-compliant roo"f or a ground mount, submit completecl worksheet Jor the structure WKSI. Roof Information: l. Is the roofing type lightweight (Yes = composition, lightweight masonry, metal, etc...)Yes If No,submitcompletedworksheetforroof structure\RSl (No = heavymasonry.slate,etc...). 2. Does the roof have a single roof coveringZ Zyes Euo If No, submit completed worksheetfor roof sffucture WKSI. 3. Provide method and type of weatherproofing roof penetrations (e.g. flashing. caulk).- M ount ing Sy st em Informat ion : l. Is the mounting structure an engineegld product designed to mount PV modules with no more than an I8" gap benearh the module frames? EIyes f]no If No, provide details of structural attachment cerilrted by a design professional. 2. For manufactured mounting systems, fill out information on the mounting system below: a.MountingSvstemManufacturer-ProductNameandModel# b. Total Weight of PV Modules and Rails _lbs c. Total Number of Attachment Points_ d.WeightperAttachmentPoint(b+c)-Ibs(ifgreaterthan45lbs,seeWKS1) e Maximum Spacing Between Attachment Points on a Rail nches (see product manual for maximum spacing allowed based on maximum design wind speed) f.TotalSurfaceAreaofPVModuIes(squarefee0-ft, s.DiStributedWeightofPVModuleonRoof(b+l)-lbs/ft: II distributed weight of the PV system is greater than 5lbsfP, see WKSI. Step 2: 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: I . 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 13,44O Watts or less 4. The ac interconnection point is on the load side of service disconnecting means (690.64(B)). 5. One of the standard electrical diagrams (El.l, El.la, El.lb, or EI.lc) can be used to accurately represent the PV system. lnteractive PDF diagrams are available at wwwsolarabcs.org/permirting.
