Brian, First,I don't know of a section that deals with this type of item.Second,if the panels are non-combustible,you may need only to clear below them with heads no more than 12" below the deck.Third,if the panels are combustible,depending on their size,this may be considered one of those unprotected areas that would require a 3,000 sq.ft remote if protection is not provided above them.Maybe a call to your AHJ would be in order.Always a safe bet.JMHO
