Wrenches,
We are currently facing a city permitting bureaucracy that has recently
discovered solar - that is, suddenly each department in the permitting and
plan review departments is coming up with standards for PV systems. Some of
the standards, of course, make no sense.

I bid a job for a fellow that designed roof trusses for a living. Here is
what he said: Each roof is designed for live loads and dead loads. Live
loads, as I understand it, are workers and materials to be installed. The
dead loads are for wind and snow. If you put solar modules on
engineered

If we had a national solar installers association this would be the type of
support we each would have to fight our own city halls.
If we cannot provide these small county governments with our own "standard

I caught this thread a little late, but I have a hard number to be used in
this discussion. We have worked with a umber of AHJs about the dead load of
a PV system, and we routinely quote 2.6 lbs/sq-ft. This based on the actual

Hi All,
I am fully in favor of standardized permitting, and streamlining the process of
