Snow Load Notes

Check the County's GIS map for roof snow load ---> LINK

(Enable snow load theme by clicking on layer list in the top right hand corner and then go to Resource Management (Planning, Building) and check that box, and in that dropdown, check the Roof snow load box.)

Please include ground snow load for ground mount projects

REFERENCE SNOW LOAD SHEET (IN FILES) WHEN STAMPING STRUCTURAL
Plans and calculations must indicate the amount and size of screw to be used in attachment
If the roof mounts attachment more than 4' o.c., the truss manufacture's approval required. If attachment spacing is greater than 4 ft, wet stamps are required
Include calculations for "applied uplift force" used in the withdrawal calculations.
Include calculations for the deflection checks. Provide justification for the deflection limits for the roof framing.

Plan Set Requirements

PV Summary Sheet (Fillable).pdf to be provided to permitting as a deliverable
For Plot Plan criteria (roof mount and GM) check the attached files for AHJ requirements

NON-REFLECTIVE MODULES REQUIRED

If we cannot source non-reflective modules, then we must perform a glare analysis proving that the modules will not interfere with the local airport

Please reach out to REM for the login to the website for the anti-glare report. The homes within 10 miles of the airport should include this report, unless the spec sheet specifies the module is anti-glare

Provide data sheet for any existing generators on site

Provide data sheet for maximum span length and uplift for attachments/rail

2/10/24 provide cut sheet of subpanels if we are doing a subpanel tie in

AHJ requires PV Checklist Data Summary form

Photos of existing service panel

Site

INCLUDE NOTE [MODULES ARE NON-REFLECTIVE]

MUST INCLUDE DATASHEET CORRESPONDING TO THIS

Site Notes: All Jobs [ALL EQUIPMENT AND CONNECTIONS TO BE 1' ABOVE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION 3124.1' MINIMUM. ALL CONDUIT BELLOW TO BE WET PROOF. // ALL EXPOSED EMT CONDUIT SHALL UTILIZE WEATHER SEAL-TIGHT COMPRESSION FITTINGS // MODULES ARE NON-REFLECTIVE]

Roof Plan

THE LAYOUT OF EXISTING PV SYSTEMS NEED TO BE ILLUSTRATED AS INDIVIDUAL MODULES, NOT ONE BIG 'OBSTRUCTION'

Layout of modules needs to be replicated in Aurora before downloading DXF
