AHJ Requires 2 forms to be filled out, include them when uploading plans:
Photovoltaic - Structural Criteria_202104212132297174.pdf
Photovoltaic Expedited Permit_202104212131402951.pdf
if we are using a tilt-up kit, do not use the PZSE letter if it has the Clearance: 2 to 10 clear from top of roof to top of PV panel language or if it says FLUSH anywhere on it as the AHJ will see this as contradictory. Instead, use the [Unirac SM Low Profile Tilt State Letter 12-18-2020_CA_Stamped_Cert] in the files below. Submit completed San Pablo Structural Criteria Form. See Files section of this page.
