It is an interesting issue. If you have a peak roof with modules on
the south side only, venting through the north side is wide open.
Possibly the NEC could acknowledge this fact.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Solar set backs
I had a student tell me that firefighters are often venting through
the gable side wall as opposed to the roof. Can anyone confirm or
deny this statement?

Hey Gary,
Ohio Fire Code does cover this. It's a matter of if the Fire marshal
in you project area wants to waive or alter the requirements.
http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/1301:7-7-06v1 [7]
Specifically 605.11.1.2 is for residential buildings. There is some
conflict in terms of Hip roofs in the code there. 605.11.1.2.2 states
a single 3ft path on one edge or another for a hip roof, but
605.11.1.2.4 states that an 18 space is allowed when modules are
mounted on two adjacent roof planes with a hip roof.
With Regards,

Hello Wrenches,
What are you all seeing required as setbacks post 2017? I am having
inspectors vary between wanting a 3' lane at the bottom and sides to
allowing the array down to the gutter, and from requiring between 18"
and 3' at the ridge.
