Watertight, safe, wind-resistant, and compliant roof-mounted equipment installation |
The committee agrees that aligning all solar specifications is necessary to ensure consistency across installation types. This was done to streamline efforts, and reduce redundancy across both roof-mount and ground-mount solar installations resulting in one set of specifications that align with current standards. | Red Line |
