Abstract
NRCA Guidelines for Rooftop-mounted Photovoltaic Systems— Second Edition explores the basics of commonly installed rooftop PV systems, including the components that make up typical systems and how the systems are installed on roofs. PV systems associated with low- and steep-slope roof assemblies are described, and NRCA’s guidance for best practices is presented. Additionally, rooftop PV system-related provisions in current editions of model codes and standards are identified and contextualized.
