R324.3

Section R324.3 is titled 'Photovoltaic systems' and covers the requirements for technology used to convert sunlight to electricity and typically interconnected with the dwelling's electrical distribution system. This section does not contain any technical language, but cross-references to subsections, another code, and the manufacturer's installation instructions are established. The purpose of this section is to prevent fire, lack of access to a roof for fire response operations and system maintenance, interference with other systems, structural failure, explosions, shock hazards, and electrocution.
