PERMIT-PLAN PACKAGE

Solar Permit PACKAGE

Solar Permit Plan Sets or Construction drawings are another critical component of the process. We understand and ensure that the permit sets created are precise, accurate, complete and clean/aesthetically pleasing for the installation team to understand and install solar panels in the field as per plan.

Our teams are well aware of National Electric Codes (NEC) and other applicable codes for various AHJs and Home Owner Association (HOA) requirements. We are pretty swift in adapting codes changes and any custom requirements from customer, installer and/or EPCs.

Designers at RS Solar CAD Group are well conversant and acquainted with requirements and design specifications for different type of installations and Interconnections:

  • Flush Mounts installation
  • Tilt Roof Mount
  • Non-Penetrating Roof Mount
  • Ballast
  • Ground Mount Installations
  • Microinverters
  • On-Grid / Off-Grid
  • Hybrid
  • Battery Backups
  • While we are open to adapt to customer templates and design specification to ensure that you and your team do not see a change in their ongoing process, we have our own comprehensive templates as well. These templates are customized to use blocks and data tables to ensure consistency and accuracy in data and design.

    Our typical Residential Solar Permit Plan Set includes the following; however, these are customizable and adaptable to any specific need:

    Title Page
  • Sheet index
  • Governing Codes section
  • Vicinity map, parcel map, aerial view
  • Description of the project
  • PV Layout
  • Locations of all major components and equipment
  • Attachment point spacing
  • Point loads
  • Conduit runs
  • Solar PV array location and dimensions
  • Mounting Method
  • Elevation of attachment method
  • Racking and mounting hardware
  • Structural sections
  • Wiring Diagram
  • 3-line wire diagram
  • Wire and conduit sizing
  • String / Branch circuit sizing for DC and AC systems
  • Grounding details
  • Interconnection method (breaker, line-side splice, subpanels, etc.)
  • All electrical calculations
  • System specifications
  • Signage
  • All required placards
  • Specifications of placard physical sizes
  • Specification Sheets
  • Solar Modules
  • Inverters
  • Racking
  • Typical inputs required for completion of a permit plan are home owner details, equipment details including module, inverter, racking system and attachment details, an approved layout or any guidelines on required system size, structural details, photos along with site measurements of roof (in case site measurements are not available, these are designed based on google/nearmap images, as may be available) and details and photos of existing electrical equipment and locations.

    Availability of the above information ensures accurate and efficient system design in the first-go and early AHJ acceptances.
