4.6.1 Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels supported by framing that have sufficient uniformly distributed and unobstructed openings throughout the top of the array (horizontal plane) to allow heat and gases to escape, as determined by the enforcing agency, are generally not subject to this requirement (CBC Section 903.3.3).
4.1.1.3 Solar PV panels installed as a part of a building's roof structure: Solar PV panels installed as integrated roofing material shall comply with the minimum fire/roof classification requirements for roof covering as required by the current CRC Section R902.
PV installation shall comply with requirements of the standard plan. PV system operating at 80 volts or greater shall be protected by a listed DC arc fault protection. (CEC 690.11)
Specific areas within Title 24 identify certain requirements for solar PV installations such as the California Electrical Code, California Building Code, California Plumbing Code, California Mechanical Code and California Residential Code (which applies to residential buildings of one or two units).
