About the Renewable Energy Ready Home SpecificationsAssumptions of the RERH Solar Photovoltaic SpecificationBuilder and Specification Limitations1.5 Document the solar resource potential at the designated array location3.3 Install a conduit for the AC wire run from the designated inverter location to the electric service panel4.2 Record the name and Web address of the electric utility service provider 5.1 Landscape Plan5.2 Placement of non-array roof penetrations and structural building elementsAppendix A: RERH Labeling GuidanceThese specifications were created with certain assumptions about the house and the proposed solar energy system. They are designed for builders constructing single family homes with pitched roofs, which offer adequate access to the attic after construction. It is assumed that aluminum framed photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on a “post” and rail mou...See more on
The maximum roof slope supporting the array is less than or equal to 1 in 20 ( this may be reduced to 1 in 12 provided an independent peer review is conducted);
