INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLICANT:
1) Provide a written response to each comment on the following pages, noting specifically where the correction
can be found. Responses such as, "Sheet A-3," or, "Handrails shall be per CBC Section 1003," are not
acceptable. Show or note specifically how compliance with a code requirement is achieved. Responses
such as, "Added note 16 on sheet A-3" are appropriate and will help expedite your back check.
2) Corrections may not be made by handwriting on existing drawings. Revise originals and reprint Plans and/or
Calculations as necessary.
3) Return all red -marked Plans and/or Calculations with your resubmittal.
4) Each sheet of resubmitted Plani and/or Calculations shall include the preparer's name and telephone number
and shall be wet -signed by the preparer. If the preparer is a licensed architect or engineer, all documents
prepared by,that licensed individual shall also bear his/her stamp as prescribed by California Business and

Section 13- Solar
General
Reconcile noted information shown on single line diagram. See V review redlined plan. Please
provide a responsefor each item, either on returned redlined plan or in a letter.
Circuit Requirements
The Circuit conductors and Overcurrent devices shall be sized to carry not less than 125% of the
maximum currents as calculated in 690.8(A). CEC 690(B)1. The. size of conductor specified on
plan is not being shown,as corrected accordingly. Please revise conductor schedule per value's
listed -on manufacturer cut -sheets. Revised to show Module Isc: 6.46 amps x 3 strings x J. 25
24.23 amps. Conductors are routed in the attic and on thewall. So, using # 10 (ratedfrom
Table 310.13) at 40 amps, 40amps x 0.87(for ambient temperature) x 0.8 (for 6 current
carrying conductors) 2 7.8 anip maximum. Concluklion, # 10's acceptable. Notes revised on
PV -1 detailing conduit routed on -walls to panel and table on PV -2 revised,to reflect changed
wire and conduit sizes.
Wiring Methods
Where the number of current -carrying conductor in a raceway exceed three (3) the allowable
Ampacity of each conductor shall be -reduced as shown in Table 3 10.1 S(B)(@)(a), CEC
310.15(B)(2). Adjust accordingl�. We have revised the drawings P V-1 & PV -2 to reflect the
routing of conduiticonductors and have revised tile wire & conduit sizing. Am conduit runs
have been clearly identified We have determined that the'attics of both building are accessible
and we are routing the, conduits on the properties concrete wall to the panel location.
Grounding
Grounding information not shown on plans. System grounding, Equipment grounding, Equipment
bonding and Array ied on plan per California Electrical
. grounding shall be designed and specif
Code Article 690, Part V. Equipment Grounding Conductor (EGC) to ground metal equipment
and an Grounding Electrode Conductor (GEC) from inverters are both'required, see 11 review
redlined plan. We have, revised our drawing, PV -2 to show both the EGC & CEG.ground ;Wres.
Marking, Connection to Other Sources, Storage Batteries and Systems over 600 volts
I
The sum of the ampere ratings of overcurrent devices in circuits supplying power to a busbar of
conductor shall not exceed 120 percent of the rating of the busbar or conductor. (CEC
690.64(B)(2)) The proposed load center does not comply — (34+35+70)/1.2 = 116.6A (125A
panel required. The panel size has been increased to 200 amps.
Miscellaneous Comments
Red Marks on plans, even if not specifically mentioned in this list, indicate items needing
correction. Revise Plans as necessary and provide written'response, noting where correction 'can
be found.
