R324.6.2

Section R324.6.2 is titled 'Setback at ridge' and covers requirements for solar energy systems. The requirement for a minimum dimension setback from the top of the ridge, dependent on the percentage of total roof coverage by a photovoltaic array is established. The purpose of this section is to mandate adequate space for safe emergency operations around rootop solar energy systems.

The model shows a roof with a photovoltaic panel system and multi-colored highlighted ridge setback overlays (which represents the minimum dimensions dependent on the percentage of total roof coverage by the array).
