How is the location of the solar system identified to confirm adherence to the eligibility requirements?
SolarAPP+ is only eligible for rooftop solar and does not require a site plan. SolarAPP+ provides prescriptive requirements regarding emergency access pathways and fire setbacks. Inspectors would be tasked with identifying whether the rooftop system was installed following these requirements. The contractor must further attest that all work will comply with the 2017/2020 National Electrical CodeĀ® (NFPA 70), and the 2018/2021 International Residential Code (IRC), UL Standards, Manufacturer's instructions, and municipal requirements. The contractor's work will be verified at time of inspection to ensure that the system was installed appropriately.
