6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic roof support specifications and standards]

What is a roof mounted photovoltaic system guidance?

The guidance refers only to the mechanical installation of roof mounted integrated and stand-off photovoltaic systems; it provides best practice guidance on installation requirements and does not constitute fixing instructions.

What conditions should a roof support a photovoltaic panel system?

Roof structures that support photovoltaic panel systems shall be designed to resist each of the following conditions: 1. Applicable uniform and concentrated roof loads with the photovoltaic panel system dead loads.

What standards are included in a photovoltaic system?

In addition to referencing international electro-technical photovoltaic standards such as IEC 61215, IEC 61646 and IEC 61730, typical standards from the building sector are also included, such as: EN 13501 (Safety in case of fire); EN 13022 (Safety and accessibility in use); EN 12758 (Protec-tion against noise).

Does a roof support solar photovoltaic panels or modules?

The structure of a roof that supports solar photovoltaic panels or modules shall be designed to accommodate the full solar photovoltaic panels or modules and ballast dead load, including concentrated loads from support frames in combination with the loads from Section CS507.1.1.1 (IBC 1607.13.5.1) and other applicable loads.

What are the NFPA requirements for solar PV systems?

The electrical portion of solar PV systems shall be installed in accordance with NFPA 70. CS512.2 (IFC 1204.2) Access and pathways. Roof access, pathways, and spacing requirements shall be provided in accordance with Sections CS512.2.1 (IFC 1204.2.1) through CS512.3.3 (IFC 1204.3.3).

Are there any UK standards relating to a PV installation?

While many UK standards apply in general terms, at the time of writing there is still relatively little which specifically relates to a PV installation. However, there are two documents which specifically relate to the installation of these systems that are of particular relevance:
