Park Drive - PlanExpedited Permit Process for PV Systems1 Expedited Permit Process for PV Systems Standard String System The Solar America Board for Codes and Standards (Solar ABCs) Expedited Permit Pro- cess provides a means to differentiate systems that can be permitted quickly and easily due to their similarity with the majority of small-scale PV systems. Those systems with unique characteristics may be handled with small additions to this Expedited Permit Process or may require much more information, depending on the uniqueness of the installation. The following pages contain forms for the Standard String System to use with the Expe- dited Permit Process. The Micro-Inverter, AC Module, and Supply-Side Connection forms are also available as interactive PDF files at www.solarabcs.org/permitting. In jurisdic- tions that have adopted the Expedited Permit Process for PV Systems, these forms can be filled out electronically and submitted in either printed form and via email. An elec- tronic format is used so that the supplied information is standardized and legible for the local jurisdiction. 2235 S. Park Drive 03/14/22 Expedited Permit Process for PV Systems2 Expedited Permit Process for Small-Scale PV Systems Standard String System The information in this guideline is intended to help local jurisdictions and contractors identify when PV system installations 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 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 Information for Permit: 1. 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? l Yes l No If No due to non-compliant roof or a ground mount, submit completed worksheet for the structure WKS1. Roof Information: 1. Is the rooﬁng type lightweight (Yes = composition, lightweight masonry, metal, etc…)__________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ If No, submit completed worksheet for roof structure WKS1 (No = heavy masonry, slate, etc…). 2. Does the roof have a single roof covering? l Yes l No If No, submit completed worksheet for roof structure WKS1. 3. Provide method and type of weatherprooﬁng roof penetrations (e.g. ﬂashing, caulk).____________________________ Mounting System Information: 1. Is the mounting structure an engineered product designed to mount PV modules with no more than an 18” gap beneath the module frames? l Yes l No If No, provide details of structural attachment certiﬁed by a design professional. 2. For manufactured mounting systems, ﬁll out information on the mounting system below: a. Mounting System Manufacturer ___________Product Name and Model#________________________________ b. Total Weight of PV Modules and Rails ___________lbs c. Total Number of Attachment Points____________ d. Weight per Attachment Point (b÷c)_________________lbs (if greater than 45 lbs, see WKS1) e. Maximum Spacing Between Attachment Points on a Rail ______________inches (see product manual for g. Distributed Weight of PV Module on Roof (b÷f)_______________ lbs/ft2 If distributed weight of the PV system is greater than 5 lbs/ft2, see WKS1. 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: 1. 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 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 (E1.1, E1.1a, E1.1b, or E1.1c) can be used to accurately represent the PV system. Interactive PDF diagrams are available at www.solarabcs.org/permitting. Fill out the standard electrical diagram completely. A guide to the electrical diagram is provided to help the applicant understand each blank to ﬁll in. If the electrical system is more complex than the standard electrical diagram can effectively communicate, provide an alternative diagram with appropriate detail. 4 4 Flashing 4 24 maximum spacing allowed based on maximum design wind speed) f.

Park Drive 03/14/22 VSE Project Number: U1932.3053.211 October 12, 2021 Bright Planet Solar ATTENTION: Mikey Heinz 69 Milk St., Suite 308 Westborough, MA 01581 REFERENCE: Gomez, Guillermina Residence: 2235 Park Drive, Santa Ana, CA 92707 Bright Planet Solar Project: BPS127377 Solar Array Installation To Whom It May Concern: Per your request, we have reviewed the existing structure at the above referenced site. The purpose of our review was to determine the adequacy of the existing structure to support the proposed installation of solar panels on the roof as shown on the panel layout plan. Based upon our review, we conclude that the existing structure is adequate to support the proposed solar panel installation. Design Parameters Code: California Building Code, 2019 Edition (2018 IBC) Risk Category: II Design wind speed, Vult: 95 mph (3-sec gust) per ASCE 7-16 Wind exposure category: C Seismic design category: D Existing Roof Structure Roof structure: 2x4 rafters @ 24" o.c. Roofing material: rolled asphalt Roof slope: 9.5° Connection to Roof Mounting connection: (1) 5/16" lag screw w/ min. 2.5" threaded embedment into framing at max. 48" o.c. along rails (2) rails per row of panels, evenly spaced; panel length perpendicular to the rails not to exceed 67 in. Rail cantilever shall not exceed 50% of connection spacing. Conclusions Based upon our review, we conclude that the existing structure is adequate to support the proposed solar panel installation. In the area of the solar array, other live loads will not be present or will be greatly reduced (2019 CBC, Section 1607.13.5). The gravity loads, and thus the stresses of the structural elements, in the area of the solar array are either decreased or increased by no more than 5%. Therefore, the requirements of Section 503.3 of the 2019 CEBC are met and the structure is permitted to remain unaltered. 651 W. Galena Park Blvd., Ste. 101 / Draper, UT 84020 / T (801) 990-1775 / F (801) 990-1776 / www.vectorse.com 2235 S. Park Drive 03/14/22 VSE Project Number: U1932.3053.211 Gomez, Guillermina Residence 10/12/2021 The solar array will be low-profile (no more than 18" above the roof surface). Thus, we conclude that any additional wind loading on the structure related to the addition of the proposed solar array is negligible. The attached calculations verify the capacity of the connections of the solar array to the existing roof against wind (uplift), the governing load case. Regarding seismic loads, we conclude that any additional forces will be small. The installation of the solar panels represents an increase in the total weight (and resulting seismic load) of 9.9%. Because the increase in lateral forces is less than 10%, this addition meets the requirements of the exception in Section 503.4 of the 2019 CEBC. Thus the existing lateral force resisting system is permitted to remain unaltered. Limitations Installation of the solar panels must be performed in accordance with manufacturer recommendations. All work performed must be in accordance with accepted industry-wide methods and applicable safety standards. The contractor must notify Vector Structural Engineering, LLC should any damage, deterioration or discrepancies between the as-built condition of the structure and the condition described in this letter be found. Connections to existing roof framing must be staggered, except at array ends, so as not to overload any existing structural member. The use of solar panel support span tables provided by others is allowed only where the building type, site conditions, site-specific design parameters, and solar panel configuration match the description of the span tables. The design of the solar panel racking (mounts, rails, etc.) and electrical engineering is the responsibility of others. Waterproofing around the roof penetrations is the responsibility of others. Vector Structural Engineering assumes no responsibility for improper installation of the solar array.

To use the rapid shutdown feature, the inverter communication board firmware (CPU) must be:  Version 2.0700 or higher, if the CPU version is 2.0xxx  Version 3.0700 or higher, if the CPU version is 3.0xxx ► To check the inverter CPU version: 1 Verify that the inverter has been activated using the activation card supplied with the inverter. 2 Press the LCD light button short presses until the screen below is reached. I D : ## # # # # # # # # D S P 1 / 2 : x . x x x x / x . x x x x C PU :0 0 0 2 . 0 7 0 0 C o u n t r y : X X X X X 3 Check the CPU version number. If lower than 2.0700, upgrade the inverter software as described below; otherwise proceed to “Power Optimizer Pairing”. ► To upgrade the inverter software: Use the supplied SD card adapter or the micro-SD card, which can be removed from the adapter, according to the activation card slot on your inverter communication board, labeled . 1 Verity that the AC breaker connected to the inverter is OFF. 2 Open the inverter cover’s six Allen screws and carefully pull the cover horizontally before lowering it, as described in its manual. 3 Insert the card into the card slot on the communication board. If the communication board has an SD card slot, use the supplied SD card adapter. If there is a micro-SD card slot, remove the micro-SD card from the adaptor and insert it. 4 Close the inverter cover and turn the AC on. If upgrade is required (as described above), it starts automatically. 5 Wait for the message "Done" to be displayed on the LCD. 6 Verify the correct version as described above. 7 Remove the card from the inverter and keep it for additional kit installations. Power Optimizer Pairing Pairing at this stage will reprogram the power optimizers to perform rapid shutdown. 1 Verify that the ON/OFF switch at the bottom of the inverter is OFF. 2 Turn ON the AC breaker and the Safety Switch. 3 Perform Pairing as described in Step 2: Pairing, of Chapter 5: Commissioning of the SolarEdge Installation Guide. Enabling Rapid Shutdown There is an option in setup mode to enable the functionality of rapid shutdown. 1 Verify that the ON/OFF switch at the bottom of the inverter is ON. 2 Enter Setup mode by pressing and holding the LCD light button. 3 Select Maintenance  Optimizer Conf.  Set Rapid Shutdown. NOTE: Whenever replacing, removing or adding a component in the string, perform Pairing and rapid shutdown setting. Troubleshooting If the inverter does not enter production mode and the LCD displays Night Mode, the connection order of the rapid shutdown cables may be incorrect. Recheck the cables and make sure that the rapid shutdown cables connected to the bottom of the switch are reversed relative to the cables connected at the top of the switch (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). 2235 S.

The language included in the 2012 IBC requires that the combination of roof mounted solar modules and racking components is to be considered a system (IBC Section 1509.7.2). Additionally, it requires that this system shall meet or exceed the ﬁre classiﬁca- tion of the roof assembly. The objective is to ensure that the PV system does not adversely aﬀect the ﬁre rating of the roof. Roof sur- face ﬁre ratings are classiﬁed either A, B, or C; Class A being the most resistant to the spread of ﬂame. Since the physical characteristics of the PV module (material, thickness of glass, etc) also potentially af- fect how a ﬁre will act, modules are now tested and assigned a “type” based upon these characteristics and spread of ﬂame test results. There are 15 total module types, Types 1, 2 and 3 represent dif- ferences in the module composition and Types 4 – 15 are the same module compositions as Types 1 – 3 with diﬀering ﬁre test performance. SnapNrack Series 100 has been Certiﬁed for a Class A ﬁre rating with Type 1 and Type 2 modules, in accordance with the standards set forth in UL1703/2703 and IBC 2012. In or- der to maintain this classiﬁcation, the SnapNrack mounting system must be installed per the UL-approved Installation Manual. Because the test was conducted with the modules at 5 inches from the roof surface (worst case scenario), there is no restriction to the standoﬀ height. Attachment 1 is the SnapNrack QIMS File which is accessed through the UL Online Certiﬁca- tion Directory, or available here: SnapNrack QIMS File.
