Ordinance No. 1057 <br />Page 10 <br />system in compliance with the California Plumbing Code and any <br />applicable local ordinances; or <br />iv. Install a rainwater catchment system designed to comply with the <br />California Plumbing Code and any applicable local ordinances, and that <br />uses rainwater flowing from at least 65 percent of the available roof area. <br />B. Meet the Title 24, Part 11, Section A4.106.8.2 requirements for electric vehicle <br />charging spaces. <br />EXCEPTION 5 to Section 110.10(b)1B: Buildings where the roof is designed and <br />approved to be used for vehicular traffic or parking or for a heliport. <br />Exception 6 to section 110.10(b)1 B: Performance equivalency approved by the <br />building official. <br />2. Azimuth. All sections of the solar zone located on steep -sloped roofs shall be oriented <br />between 90 degrees and 300 degrees of true north. <br />3. Shading. <br />A. No obstructions, including but not limited to, vents, chimneys, architectural features, <br />and roof mounted equipment, shall be located in the solar zone_ <br />B. Any obstruction, located on the roof or any other part of the building that projects <br />above a solar zone shall be located at least twice the distance, measured in the <br />horizontal plane, of the height difference between the highest point of the obstruction <br />and the horizontal projection of the nearest point of the solar zone, measured in the <br />vertical plane. <br />EXCEPTION to Section 110.10(b)3: Any roof obstruction, located on the roof or <br />any other part of the building, that is oriented north of all points on the solar zone. <br />C. The solar zone needs to account for shading from obstructions that may impact the <br />area required in 110.10(b)1B. When determined by the Building Official that conditions <br />exist where excessive shading occurs and solar zones cannot be met, a performance <br />equivalency approved by the Building Official may be used as an alternative. <br />4. Structural Design Loads on Construction Documents. For areas of the roof designated as <br />solar zone, the structural design loads for roof dead load and roof live load shall be clearly <br />indicated on the construction documents. <br />NOTE: Section 110.10(b)4 does not require the inclusion of any collateral loads for <br />future solar energy systems. <br />(c) Interconnection Pathways. <br />1. The construction documents shall indicate a location reserved for inverters and <br />metering equipment and a pathway reserved for routing of conduit from the solar zone to <br />the point of interconnection with the electrical service. <br />2. For single family residences and central water -heating systems, the construction <br />documents shall indicate a pathway for routing of plumbing from the solar zone to the <br />water -heating system. <br />(d) Documentation. A copy of the construction documents or a comparable document indicating <br />the information from Sections 110.10(b) through 110.10(c) shall be provided to the occupant. <br />(e) Main Electrical Service Panel. <br />
