PV System Requirements. Previously, the code required that projects designate roof areas for future solar installations (Solar Ready) and reserve space for inverters, metering equipment, and pathways for conduits associated with a future PV system installation.
Solar cells convert solar energy into electricity. The process begins when light hits your roof's solar panels with photons (particles of sunlight). The solar panel converts those photons into electrons of direct current ("DC") electricity.
If the entire roof were to have an annual solar access of 70% or greater, the minimum solar zone would have been 250 square feet. Since the potential solar zone is only 400 square feet (2,500 – 2,100), the minimum solar zone area can be reduced to 200 square feet (50% of the potential solar zone)
This map shows the progress of California’s transition to an automated instant permitting process for residential solar and storage systems mandated by the Solar Access Act (SB 379–Wiener). Standardizing and cutting red tape for permitting will make it easier and more affordable for homeowners to go solar.
The 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code) has solar photovoltaic (solar PV) system requirements for all newly constructed nonresidential buildings.
specific code requirements for solar PV installations. This Information Bulletin primarily clarifies requirements pertaining to the California Building Code and the California Residential Code, since these
