Follow a step-by-step checklist for meeting electrical and structural requirements in residential solar and battery storage systems.

The purpose of this document is to provide general guidance on temporary, portable solar photovoltaic (PV) units. These units are often referred to as “plug-in solar,” “plug-and-play,” or “balcony solar,” and they are typically residential installations. 

The purpose of this document is to highlight common inspection requirements for steep-slope (2:12 or greater) building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roof coverings on one- and two-family dwellings.

The purpose of this training is to provide participants with best practice guidance on how to protect single-ply roofing systems during solar PV installation.

This document provides general guidance for building departments to review plans and issue permits for the installation of steep-slope building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roof coverings on one- and two-family dwellings as governed by the International Residential Code (IRC) and National Electrical Code (NEC).

Insights and experiences from solar PV, energy storage, and building and safety professionals, offering valuable lessons from the field.

Guidelines that provide an overview of code requirements for the installation of Energy Storage Systems (stand alone and paired with simple photovoltaic systems) in single family, multifamily, and office buildings.

Use this list of solar and energy storage inspection requirements to create custom checklists in your jurisdiction and improve outcomes from your inspection.
