The requirements for solar ready buildings are all mandatory, so there are no prescriptive and performance compliance paths. Since the provisions are mandatory, there are also no tradeoffs allowed, and applicants must demonstrate compliance with each measure. There are, however, exceptions. Exceptions to mandatory requirements are described in their corresponding sections.
The chapter is organized as follows:
7.4.2 Interconnection Pathways
7.5 Main Electrical Service Panel
7.6 California Fire Code Solar Access Requirements
7.7 Compliance and Enforcement
