Plan Set Requirements

Batteries: 1. A disconnect for the ESS needs to be on the outside of the home. (The AC disconnect that is on the outside of the home will disconnect the solar panels but not the ESS.) Section 706.7(A) ESS Disconnecting Means states that the disconnecting means must be readily accessible. By definition of Readily Accessible in the CEC a locked garage is not readably accessible to the fire department.

Roof Plan

48 attachment spans required based on snow load and IR span charts.
