10kW on the roof of a one-or two-family dwelling or accessory structure.The photovoltaic system must interconnect to the load side of
a single-phase AC service panel of nominal 120/240Vac with a bus bar rating of 225A or less.This plan is not intended for bipolar
systems,hybrid systems or systems that utilize storage batteries,charge controllers,trackers,more than two inverters or more than one
DC combiner(noninverter-integrated)per inverter.Systems must be in compliance with current California Building Standards Codes and
local amendments of the authority having jurisdiction(AHJ).Other Articles of the California Electrical Code(CEC)shall apply as specified
in 690.3.
MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATION SHEETS MUST BE PROVIDED for proposed inverter,modules,combiner/junction boxes and racking
systems.Installation instructions for bonding and grounding equipment shall be provided,and local AHJs may require additional
details.Listed and labeled equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling
(CEC 110.3).Equipment intended for use with PV system shall be identified and listed for the application(CEC 690.4[D]).

— If the jurisdiction is in a coastal region,consider asking"is the dwelling farther than 200 yards frons
the ocean or a large coastal bay?"to verify the dwelling is not in Wind Exposure D.
— If the jurisdiction is in a Special Wind Region with design wind speeds between 115 and 130 mph,
consider verifying that the dwelling is in Wind Exposure B by asking"is the dwelling in an urban,
suburban or wooded area,and not within 500 yards of open fields and grasslands?"
— If the jurisdiction is in a Special Wind Region with design wind speeds between 115 and 130 mph,
consider verifying that there are no significant topographic wind speed-up effects by asking"is the
dwelling in a relatively flat area(grade less than 5%)and not within 500 yards of the crest of a tall hill?"
• Roof Check
— Based on the jurisdiction's one-and two-family housing stock and code compliance history,many
CBOs will find it reasonable to assume that most dwellings' roof structures were designed to the
building code in effect at the time the houses were built. If so,the roof structure code compliance
check consists of the Contractor's visual roof audit,checking for unusual sagging or deterioration,
without requiring additional measurements of existing rafters to check against span tables.
— For CBOs of jurisdictions with evidence of structurally deficient one-and two-family housing stock
or poor structural code compliance history, the CBO may elect to add the rafter span check option
described in the criteria.
The Structural Toolkit and CRC Wind Speeds
The 2013 CRC contains an inconsistency related to wind speeds. Despite referencing ASCE 7-10 as its
standard,the 2013 CRC's text and tables use outdated ASCE 7-05 wind speeds. Under the old ASCE 7-05
/CBC 2010,the basic design wind speed in most regions of the state was 85 mph(max.3 second gust in
50 years).Under ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013,the design wind speed has increased to 110 mph(max.3 second
gust in 700 years).Despite the different definitions of wind speed,design wind pressures remain essentially
unchanged.
Because the Toolkit's structural document is intended to be forward looking,all wind speeds in the Toolkit
document are based on the ASCE 7-10.This is clearly stated in the caption to the state wind speed map,and in
the Table 1 footnotes.This anticipates an obvious and expected correction to the CRC;otherwise the Toolkit
would become immediately outdated when the CRC is amended to change the base design wind speed from 85
mph to 110 mph.
2013 CRC text(ASCE 7-05)wind speeds equivalent to the 2013 CRC and CBC Reference Standard(ASCE 7-
10)are shown below.See ASCE 7-10 Table C26.5-6 for additional information.
2013 CRC text 2013 CRC and CBC Referenced Standard

85 mph 110 mph
90 mph 115 mph
95 mph 120 mph
100 mph 126 mph
105 mph 133 mph
(Introductory text provided for jurisdiction's reference only. Do not attach to Criteria that follow.)
Structural Technical Appendix
This toolkit document is supported by a Structural Teclunical Appendix that describes the technical analysis
behind these criteria,which are based on structural engineering principles and the California Building
and Residential Codes.The Technical Appendix also provides some additional guidance to address non-
conforming items,such as when an anchor layout is not based on a solar support component manufacturer's
guidelines,or when a coastal site is located within 200 yards of the ocean(Exposure D).This document can be
found online.
Probability of Code Compliance
The Structural Technical Appendix includes a section that examines the probabilities associated with the
assumptions behind Table 1 that allows six feet cross-slope anchor spacing in some circumstances. That
statistical analysis estimates that the probability of code noncompliance for six feet anchor spacing is only 2 in
a thousand installations(0.2%).Note that probability of structural failure is orders of magnitude lower than
the probability of code noncompliance.

Solar support component manufacturer's guidelines may be relied upon to ensure the array above the roof is
properly designed,but manufacturer's guidelines typically do NOT check to ensure that the roof itself can support
the concentrated loads from the solar array. Table 1 assumes that the roof complied with the building code in
effect at the time of construction,and places limits on anchor horizontal spacing to ensure that a roof structure is
not overloaded under either downward loads or wind uplift loads.Note 4 below lists the basic assumptions upon
which this table is based.
Table 1 Notes:
1. Anchors are also known as"stand-offs';"feet "mounts"or"points of attachment". Horizontal anchor
spacing is also known as `cross-slope"or"east-west"anchor spacing(see Figure 2).
2. If anchors are staggered from row-to-row going up the roof; the anchor spacing may be twice that shown
above,but no greater than 6'-0':
3. For manufactured plated wood trusses at slopes of flat to 6:12,the horizontal anchor spacing shall not
exceed 4'-0"and anchors in adjacent rows shall be staggered.
4. This table is based on the following assumptions:
• The roof structure conformed to building code requirements at the time it was built.
• The attached list of criteria are met.
• Mean roof height is not greater than 40 feet.
• Roof sheathing is at least 7/16"thick oriented strand board or plywood. lx skip sheathing is acceptable.
• If the dwelling is in Wind Exposure B(typical urban,suburban or wooded areas farther than 500
yards from large open fields),no more than one of the following conditions apply:
— The dwelling is located in a special wind region with design wind speed between 115 and 130
mph per ASCE 7-10,or
— The dwelling is located on the top half of a tall hill,provided average slope steeper is less than
15%.
• If the dwelling is hi Wind Exposure C(within 500 yards of large open fields or grasslands),all of the
following conditions apply:
— Design wind speed is 110 mph or less(not in a Special Wind Region),and
— The dwelling is not located on the top half of a tall hill.
• The solar array displaces roof live loads(temporary construction loads)that the roof was originally
designed to carry.
• The Structural Technical Appendix provides additional information about analysis asstunptions.

Beyond a visual review by the Contractor checking for unusual sagging or deterioration,some CBOs may want
additional assurance that the roof structure complies with structural building code requirements. Table 2 is an
optional table some CBOs may elect to use to provide additional assurance by requiring a check of existing roof
rafter spans,and supports optional criteria 1.8.5 and 1.8.6.For post-1960 construction,these span tables match
the rafter span tables found in the 2013 California Building and Residential codes.For pre-1960 construction,the
rafter span tables are based on structural calculations with lumber sizes and wood species&grade appropriate for
older construction.Note 5 below lists the basic assumptions upon which this table is based.
Table 2 Notes:
1. See Figure 4 for definition of roof rafter maximum horizontal span.
2. "Non-tile Roof"=asphalt shingle,wood shingle&wood shake,with an assumed roof assembly weight of
10 psf.
3. "Tile Roof"=clay tile or cement tile,with an assumed roof assembly weight of 20psf
4. Unaltered manufactured plated-wood trusses may be assumed to be code compliant and meet intent of
Table 2.
5. This table is based on the following assumptions:
• Span/deflection ratio is equal to or greater than 180.
• For post-1960 construction,wood species and grade is Douglas Fir-Larch No.2.
• For pre-1960 construction,wood species and grade is Douglas Fir-Larch No. 1.
• Other wood species and/or grade are also acceptable if allowable bending stress is equal or greater to
that listed above.
