Friends:
Below is an e-mail I sent to this group 5/15/08. I include it here in case
there might be some information of value. I predicted long ago that this
will become a huge issue for commercial and residential installations.
When this issue first reared it's ugly head I did a quick analy
What if every 4 rows or so, you left extra space to hack into the
roof to ventilate? How big a hole do they need to cut and how often?

Chula Vista has been difficult on a number of fronts for the past few years.
I'm not sure what is behind it. This is a reference from an old Los Angeles
Fire Department regulation. It was invented by a person at LA who still
thinks it's a good idea. I don't doubt that it could not be developed. My
HI The power factor is set by the inverter. The modules are unity as there are
DC. but the inverter is very close to unity. The couple of times I tried to
measure power factor I got Unity. But I would think the load may affect the
inverter power factor.

Power factor on DC? As far as I know, power factor / vars is an AC phenomena
where current and voltage are out of phase.

Hi Brian,
Now you're asking the right questions.
Perhaps someone from the building & planning department in Irvine was layed
off and they got a job in Chula Vista.
There are a number of a$$-backward municipalities down that way. Dunno what
their real agenda is, but stuff like "Provide UL List

Perhaps here is a different way to pose the question.
Has anyone successfully completed an installation of any type of PV product in

Did you have to meet this requirement?
If so, how?

Hi Andrew,
Good topic! We typically use a ridge anchor like this:

On existing comp roofs one option is to gently peel the top shingle off and
then fasten the anchor down. After work is complete you can remove the
anchor (often times with gre
It seems to me that allowing an expensive array to be quickly and easily
removed from a roof is a Very Bad Thing- I'd guess that the customer's
insurance company would have an issue with this too. Will they also

I just had a set of plans rejected by the City of Chula Vista, CA, because the
integrated Tile product that we use did not have a "Quick Release" System for
the array, so that the Fire Department could remove the array in the event of a
fire.

Has anyone found roof anchors that are designed to span the ridge cap on
existing composition shingle roofs? We have a number of different types of
anchors that we attach on the north side of the roof with screws into the
