The results indicated here DO NOT reflect any state or local amendments to the values or any delineation lines made during the building code adoption process. Users should confirm any output obtained from this tool with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction before proceeding with design. Please note that the ATC Hazards by Location website will not be updated to support ASCE 7-22. Find out why. Disclaimer Hazard loads are interpolated from data provided in ASCE 7 and rounded up to the nearest whole integer. Per ASCE 7, islands and coastal areas outside the last contour should use the last wind speed contour of the coastal area – in some cases, this website will extrapolate past the last wind speed contour and therefore, provide a wind speed that is slightly higher. NOTE: For queries near wind-borne debris region boundaries, the resulting determination is sensitive to rounding which may affect whether or not it is considered to be within a wind-borne debris region. Mountainous terrain, gorges, ocean promontories, and special wind regions shall be examined for unusual wind conditions.

As a references, the Solar Structural Technical Appendix hyperlink is provided: http://www.opr.ca.gov/docs/Solar_Structural_Technical_Appendix.pdf Inspection Information Once a photovoltaic system permit has been issued and the system has been installed, it must be inspected before final approval is granted. Inspections are required to be scheduled twenty-four (24) hours in advance at: (760) 776- 6420 Monday through Friday (8AM to 4PM) Same day inspection will not be provided. Qualifying small rooftop PV systems will be inspected in one (1) site visit, if under 30 kilowatts. If PV system is over 30 kilowatts it will require a rough inspection after mounting system is installed. If the inspection does not pass, subsequent inspections will not conform to the one inspection policy per the California Solar Initiative AB2188. Permit holders must be prepared to show conformance with all technical requirements in the field at the time of inspection. The inspector will verify that the installation is in conformance with applicable code requirements and with the approved plans. An OSHA approved ladder must be provided by the contractor of record or property owner at the time of inspection. Here are some common points of inspection you should be prepared to show: Number of PV modules and model number match plans and specification sheets number match plans and specification sheets. Array conductors and components are installed in a neat and workman-like manner. PV array is properly grounded. Electrical boxes are accessible and connections are suitable for environment. Array is fastened and sealed according to attachment detail. Conductor’s ratings and sizes match plans. Appropriate signs are properly constructed, installed and displayed. Smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarms are required at final inspection. Page 4 of 4 QUICK TIPS FOR CONTRACTORS & PROPERTY OWNERS WHEN APPLYING FOR A SOLAR PERMIT: Permit applicants can save time and money by following these tips. Take time to review permit requirements of the local jurisdiction. Permitting rules and processes differ am ong different cities and counties. Understanding all local requirements will allow permit applicants to submit a complete and accurate permit application packet the first time. Contact the local electric utility early in the permitting process (solar PV installations). Local electric utilities have a completely separate approval process from the local jurisdiction’s permitting process. Some electric utilities may require that the solar project be reviewed before the local jurisdiction issues a building permit. Pursuing utility approval early in the permit process enables the solar PV system to become operational as soon as possible. Make sure that the solar installation that is built matches the submitted plans. The on-site inspector will verify that the installation aligns with proposed plans and any changes may require corrections and additional inspections.
