1 Solar PV Standard Plan Simplified entral/string Inverter Systems for One and TwoFamily Dwellings (0 KW or Less) Use this plan ONLY for utilityinteractive central/string inverter systems. This plan is not intended for bipolar systems, hybrid systems or systems that utilize storage batteries, charge controllers, trackers, more than two inverters or more than one D combiner (noninverterintegrated) per inverter. Systems must be in compliance with current 0 alifornia Building Standards ode and ity of Fontana amendments. Other Articles of the 0 alifornia Electrical ode (E) shall apply as specified in 60.. ANUFATURER S SPEIFIATION SHEETS UST BE PROVIDED for proposed inverter, modules, combiner/junction boxes and racking systems. Installation instructions for bonding and grounding equipment shall be provided, Building and Safety may require additional details. Listed and labeled equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling (E 0.). Equipment intended for use with PV system shall be identified and listed for the application (E 60.[D]).
