Section M2302 Photovoltaic Solar Energy Systems
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
This section provides for the design, construction, installation, alteration, and repair of photovoltaic equipment and systems.
Where photovoltaic panels and modules are installed on roofs, the roof shall be constructed to support the loads imposed by such modules. Roof-mounted photovoltaic panels and modules that serve as roof covering shall conform to the requirements for roof coverings in Chapter 9 (the HVHZ shall comply with Chapter 44). Where mounted on or above the roof coverings, the photovoltaic panels and modules and supporting structure shall be constructed of noncombustible materials or fire-retardant-treated wood equivalent to that required for the roof construction.
Roof and wall penetrations shall be flashed and sealed in accordance with Chapter 9 (the HVHZ shall comply with Chapter 44) to prevent entry of water, rodents, and insects.
Ground-mounted panels and modules shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Photovoltaic panels and modules shall be listed and labeled in accordance with UL 1703.
Inverters shall be listed and labeled in accordance with UL 1741. Systems connected to the utility grid shall use inverters listed for utility interaction.
