FAQs 6

What are the requirements for installing solar PV systems?

4.8 Markings: The solar PV systems must be marked or labeled in accordance with CEC Article 690. Markings are to be placed every 10 feet and in other areas as required. 4.9 Other fire safety requirements or guidelines: The installation of solar PV systems may be subject to additional provisions adopted by the local enforcing agency.

What equipment do I need to go solar?

You need solar panels, inverters, racking equipment, and performance monitoring equipment to go solar. You also might want an energy storage system (aka solar battery), especially if you live in an area that doesn't have net metering.

What are the California Solar permit requirements?

The specific structural and fire requirements are covered in other parts of the California Solar Permitting Guidebook. This covers photovoltaic system interconnected to the load side of a single-phase AC service panel of nominal 120/240Vac with a bus bar rating of 225A or less.

How much roof space does a solar system need?

would require on the order of 500 square feet of usable roof space (average of 1 kilowatt per 100 square feet) to install the solar panels. However, homes with a higher than average level of energy efficiency, such as those meeting ENERGY STAR® Homes Standards, may not necessitate an average-sized system.

How many solar panels do I Need?

Once you have your final array size, simply divide by the wattage of your desired solar panels to figure out how many panels you need. Using our example of a 7.2 kW (7,200-watt) array for 100% offset, here's a sample system that would cover our needs: 7.2 kW solar array with 400W Phono Solar panels: 7,200 watts / 400 watts = 18 panels

Are solar panels enough?

But solar panels alone are not enough, and storage like batteries is needed for the power generated by the solar panels. A complete solar system also needs a voltage inverter and charge controller. This article will focus on these solar power system components and how to select and size them to meet energy needs.
