Here, by code, vents must extend 12" above the roof line. It's a bad idea to cover them with PV modules.

Wrenchers,

My local JHA has recently decided that vents for anything other than fresh air are not allowed under the solar array.The ones that are causing me the biggest problem are the plumbing vent pipes as I have several projects with 10 or more pipes to deal with.Has anyone successfully proven that it is not a health problem to vent under the array since there is plenty of airflow between panels and on all 4 sides of the array?Other than extending the pipes through the array by leaving out panels, are there any other suggestions?

My application is flat roofs with raised multiple row arrays (100+ solar panels)

All feedback is appreciated.
