Step 6 (Detailed): Review Structural PV Array Mounting Requirements

This version of Step 6 is for jurisdictions requiring detailed structural PV array mounting information. Skip this step if using Step 6 (Simplified). The goal of this Checklist is to provide assurance that a solar array does not overload (1) an existing residential roof, or (2) the attachments to the roof. These rules do not address the structural sufficiency of the components of the array above the roof. The components above the roof are engineered by the mounting system manufacturers. ***NOTE: These guidelines are a living document and may be revised. Last updated: 9/16/21***
