4 FAQs about Rope-type photovoltaic panel installation specifications

How much weight does a PV system add to a roof?

A conventional PV system that includes racking materials will add approximately 6 pounds per square foot of dead load to the roof or structure, though actual weights can vary for different types of systems. Wind will add live loads; the magnitude of live loads will depend on the geographic region and the final PV system.

How do I install a Rerh solar PV system?

Install a 1” metal conduit from designated inverter location to electrical service panel (cap and label both ends). Install and label a 70-amp dual pole circuit breaker in the electrical service panel for use by the PV system (label the service panel). Provide architectural drawing and riser diagram of RERH solar PV system components.

What is the minimum array area requirement for a solar PV inverter?

Although the RERH specification does not set a minimum array area requirement, builders should minimally specify an area of 50 square feet in order to operate the smallest grid-tied solar PV inverters on the market.

Do I need to meter a photovoltaic system?

It is assumed that aluminum framed photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on a “post” and rail mounting system, the most common in the industry today, will be installed by the homeowner. While metering the system is encouraged, the specification does not address system wiring elements for associated system sensors or monitoring equipment.
