4 FAQs about Photovoltaic panel construction site requirements and specifications

What are Rerh solar photovoltaic specifications?

Assumptions of the RERH Solar Photovoltaic Specification These specifications were created with certain assumptions about the house and the proposed solar energy system. They are designed for builders constructing single family homes with pitched roofs, which offer adequate access to the attic after construction.

How do I evaluate a solar array site?

To assist in evaluating each home, EPA has developed an online Renewable Energy Ready Home Solar Site Assessment Tool (RERH SSAT), which compares the solar resource potential of a proposed array site to the optimal solar resource potential at the same location.

What is the minimum array area requirement for a solar PV inverter?

Although the RERH specification does not set a minimum array area requirement, builders should minimally specify an area of 50 square feet in order to operate the smallest grid-tied solar PV inverters on the market.

Does this home meet the minimum recommended solar resource potential?

Yes This home meets the minimum recommended solar resource potential of 75 percent per the RERH SSAT results; continue with Section 2 below.
