Hey Gary,
Ohio Fire Code does cover this. It’s a matter of if the Fire marshal in you project area wants to waive or alter the requirements. http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/1301:7-7-06v1 Specifically 605.11.1.2 is for residential buildings. There is some conflict in terms of Hip roofs in the code there. 605.11.1.2.2 states a single 3ft path on one edge or another for a hip roof, but 605.11.1.2.4 states that an 18 space is allowed when modules are mounted on two adjacent roof planes with a hip roof.

I am having inspectors vary between wanting a 3' lane at the bottom and sides to allowing the array down to the gutter, and from requiring between 18" and 3' at the ridge. -- Gary Easton Appalachian Renewable Power Stewart, Ohio 45778 NABCEP Certified Solar PV T: 740-277-8498 www.arp-solar.com <http://www.arp-solar.com> “First they ignore you.
