All major additions to non-residential, high-rise residential,
and hotel and motel buildings are required to install a solar electric
photovoltaic (PV) system. The PV system installed must have a minimum
total wattage 2.0 times the square footage of the footprint of the
addition (2.0 watts per square foot).
|
(b)
|
The requirements of this Section shall be waived or reduced,
by the minimum extent necessary, where: (i) production of electric
energy from solar panels is technically infeasible due to lack of
available and feasible unshaded areas; (ii) the PV system size required
is less than 1,200 watts DC; or (iii) the dwelling has an existing
functioning grid-tied PV system meeting the electrical utility's interconnection
requirements.
|
(c)
|
The requirements of this Section shall take priority if there
is a conflict between compliance with Section 5.201.3 through use
of a solar thermal system and compliance with this Section.
|
Exceptions:
| |

determined EV charging and infrastructure are not feasible based upon
one or more of the following conditions:

Where there is no local utility power supply or the local utility
is unable to supply adequate power.
|
1.2
|
Where there is evidence suitable to the local enforcing agency
substantiating that additional local utility infrastructure design
requirements, directly related to the implementation of Section 4.106.4,
may adversely impact the construction cost of the project.
