Support of Exposed Cable for PV Systems:
This is why Article 690.31(C)(2) requires securement at intervals no larger than 4.5 feet for USE-2 and PV Wire. The support requirements for cable tray are more stringent in 690.31(C)(2) than 334.30. One reason for the
Roof-Mounted Solar PV Panels – Part 1: Structural Code Requirements
"1603.1.8.1 Photovoltaic panel systems. The dead load of rooftop-mounted photovoltaic system, including rack support systems, shall be indicated on the construction documents."
Standards and Requirements for Solar Equipment, Installation,
Building code requirements related to installation, materials, wind resis- tance, and fire classification can help ensure the safe installation and operation of PV systems. AHJs
CHAPTER 5 CS PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS
Structures with open grid framing and without a roof deck or sheathing supporting photovoltaic panel systems shall be designed to support the uniform and concentrated roof live loads specified in Section CS507.1.1.1 (IBC
Solar Photovoltaic System Design Basics
PV arrays must be mounted on a stable, durable structure that can support the array and withstand wind, rain, hail, and corrosion over decades. These structures tilt the PV array at a fixed angle determined by the local latitude,

6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic support location requirements]
What conditions should a roof support a photovoltaic panel system?
Roof structures that support photovoltaic panel systems shall be designed to resist each of the following conditions: 1. Applicable uniform and concentrated roof loads with the photovoltaic panel system dead loads.
What are solar photovoltaic design guidelines?
In addition to the IRC and IBC, the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) has published solar photovoltaic (PV) design guidelines, which provide specific recommendations for solar array installations on low-slope roofs 3.
Are solar panels required for a roof photovoltaic live load?
Solar photovoltaic panels or modules that are independent structures and do not have accessible/occupied space underneath are not required to accommodate a roof photovoltaic live load, provided the area under the structure is restricted to keep the public away.
Can a roof deck support a photovoltaic panel system?
Structures with open grid framing and without a roof deck or sheathing supporting photovoltaic panel systems shall be designed to support the uniform and concentrated roof live loads specified in Section CS507.1.1.1 (IBC 1607.13.5.1), except that the uniform roof live load shall be permitted to be reduced to 12 psf (0.57 kN/m 2).
What is a photovoltaic solar system code section?
This collection of provisions imports code sections which address Photovoltaic Solar Systems, and the structural, fire safety and energy conservation measures for them. These are specific to Solar Systems.
What are the requirements for ground-mounted photovoltaic panels?
Ground-mounted photovoltaic panel systems shall comply with Section CS512.1 (IFC 1204.1) and this section. Setback requirements shall not apply to groundmounted, free-standing photovoltaic arrays. A clear, brushfree area of 10 feet (3048 mm) shall be required for groundmounted photovoltaic arrays. CS512.5 (IFC 1204.5) Buildings with rapid shutdown.
