In 2015, SB 350 (de León, 2015) was signed into law, which mandated a 50% RPS by Decem. SB 350 includes interim annual RPS targets with three-year compliance
Issue: Delay in commissioning solar PV rooftop installations at metro stations. Held: Contractor liable for liquidated damages for missing deadlines; tribunal recognized delay due to
The new regulations are the second major step that the California Public Utilities Commission has taken in the past year to reduce power companies'' financial support for rooftop solar. In December, the
The permitting and inspection process ensures that a building is safe for solar panels and that the system is properly installed. However, administrative errors and backlogs can result in permitting
Synopsis: In this installment of Know the Code, code-expert Glenn Mathewson details the commonly encountered issues with the nonelectrical code provisions for solar PV.
When the panels cover more than 33 percent of the roof, the setback is increased to a minimum of 36 in. (914 mm). This setback occurs on both sides of the ridge. The figure below shows
When solar panels, which typically have a lifespan of more than 25 years, reach the end of their lives and become a waste stream, they must be managed safely. Find information here about
Performance guarantees and performance liquidated damages (PLDs) are an essential element of most engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts, especially those
