4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Solar photovoltaic power generation planning requirements"

What is the planning and Decision Guide for solar PV systems?

The Planning and Decision Guide for Solar PV Systems (“GUIDE”) is intended for use by solar PV consultants / installation contractors, together with their home builder and home owner clients, to assist them in integrating solar PV technologies into residential applications.

What are NRCan's photovoltaic ready guidelines?

NRCan's Photovoltaic Ready Guidelines is an excellent resource for builders integrating solar PV into their plans. It provides technical information on optimal roof angles and orientations as well as typical distances for roof set back, utility room space requirements, as well as solar conduit requirements.

How do I choose a solar PV system?

Determine how well a solar PV system is likely to perform given possible array capacities, placements, and measured local shading constraints. Ensure the building plans, electrical infrastructure, and mechanical equipment placements (vents, stacks, etc.) adequately provide for solar PV installation.

Do I need a building permit for a solar PV system?

tion on the structural loading. If the roof is unable to withstand the loading of the solar PV system, structural plans will need to be submitted to the Building and Construction Authority (“BCA”) for approval before a building permit can be issued for com encement of installation works. The application guideline is available a
