Plan Set Requirements

Below are a few APS requirements that Miguel has mentioned for Douglas jobs: All solar jobs will need a minimum 200A service 3ft clearance from windows and doors Equipment can't be below or above windows They would like the equipment towards the front of the house, preferably on the side but if that doesn't work it can be on the front of the house. Provide elevation drawings from front, sides and rear as well that would represent the visual of the array panels as proposed for mounting
