Marco,
Nearly all jurisdictions in the SF Bay Area require design drawings in order to obtain a permit. However, the City of San Francisco has an expedited permit process for systems of 4 kW or less. If you sign off on all for their requirements on a checklist you do not need to submit drawings to obtain the permit. Here's a link: http://sfdbi.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/dbi/Services/InspectionServices/Solar%20Permit%20Worksheet.pdf -August *From:* [email protected] [mailto: [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Marco Mangelsdorf *Sent:* Saturday, January 19, 2013 1:53 PM *To:* 'RE-wrenches' *Subject:* [RE-wrenches] PV permitting standards We’ve got a strange situation in our little Aloha State. While the counties of Maui, Kauai and the Big Island require a PV permit package to include system design schematics with the package, the largest county in the state by population, the island of O’ahu, does not require any schematic for residential systems. This blows my mind. I’m wondering if there are other AHJs out there on the Mainland where no schematics are required to obtain a PV permit. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, marco
