Abstract
Code compliance for rooftop building-integrated photovoltaic systems, including PV shingles, is complex. BIPV systems have dual functionality as a roof covering and electricity-generating product. This dual functionality can lead to confusion and disputes about who should install and maintain such systems. In addition, various code requirements further complicate the issue.
