Is anyone else currently planning what racking and modules they will be
using to meet these requirements? I’ve been trying to get my head around
this for a while now and I’m having a hard time finding substantial
information from both racking and module manufacturers.

I think Quick Mount did a presentation covering this not too long ago.

Maybe it is up on their website now. – indeed it is under Roofing Codes for 
Solar, from their Resources & Support links.

Hi All California Wrenches,

 

As far as I understand, UL 1703 goes into law in California on Jan 1, 2015 and 
will require new fire rating classifications for many projects. Is anyone else 
currently planning what racking and modules they will be using to meet these 
requirements? I’ve been trying to get my head around this for a while now and 
I’m having a hard time finding substantial information from both racking and 
module manufacturers.

Hi All California Wrenches,



As far as I understand, UL 1703 goes into law in California on Jan 1, 2015
and will require new fire rating classifications for many projects. Is
anyone else currently planning what racking and modules they will be using
to meet these requirements? I’ve been trying to get my head around this for
a while now and I’m having a hard time finding substantial information from
both racking and module manufacturers.
