PV System
Submittal Requirements
1. Site plan (Sheet S1. 1) showing location of major components on the property;
property lines, setbacks, easements, rights of way, structures, service delivery, etc.
This drawing need not be exactly to scale, but it should represent relative location of
site components.
2. Electrical diagram showing PV array configuration, wiring system, overcurrent
protection, inverter, disconnects, required signs, and ac connection to building.
a. Choose the applicable standard electrical diagram and associated forms;
complete all information. If the electrical system is more complex than the
standard electrical diagram can effectively communicate, provide an
alternative diagram with appropriate detail.
i. Small Scale, Single Phase Systems
ii. Micro Inverter Systems
iii. AC Module Systems
iv. Supply Side Connection
b. Diagrams shall identify the number of arrays , the number of strings per
inverter, total inverter capacity, ac interconnection point, service disconnect
location and means . For helpful diagram checklists that may be used to
support your application, visit [Link]
/reports/expedited-permit/forms/[Link]
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. PV modules, utility-interactive inverters, and
combiner boxes are identified for use in PV systems.
4. Engineer's structural evaluation where system is adding new live or dead loads to
a roof or other structure. The engineer's evaluation shall include the following
information:
a. Mounting System Manufacturer
b. Product Name and Model#
c. Total Weight of PV Modules and Rails in lbs.
d. Total Number of Attachment Points
e. Weight per Attachment Point (b-;-c)
f. Maximum Spacing Between Attachment Points on a Rail in inches (see
product manual for maximum spacing allowed based on maximum
design wind speed)
g. Total Surface Area of PV Modules (square feet)
h. Distributed Weight of PV Module on Roof (b-;-f) in lbs./ft2
i. Summary of the capability of the structure to support the loads and resist
wind loading. Provide designs for needed modifications.
