The policy for Carbon Monoxide Alarms in Butte County states: "Any permit obtained in which the value of work exceeds$1000 associated with a Residential Group R Dwelling Unit or Sleeping Unit shall conform to the following 2013 California Residential Code requirements for Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms (Section R314& R315)." 2013.California Residential Code requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms: R315.1 New construction: An approved carbon monoxide alarm shall be installed in dwelling units and in sleeping units within which fuel-burning appliances are installed and in dwelling units that have attached garages. R315.1.2 Power supply: For new construction required carbon monoxide alarms shall receive their primary power from the building wiring.where such wiring is served from a.commercial source and shall be equipped with a battery back-up. Alarm wiring shall be directly connected to the permanent building wiring without a disconnecting switch other than as required for over- current protection. Exceptions: 1.In dwelling units where there is no commercial power supply the carbon monoxide alarm may be solely battery operated. 2. In existing dwelling units a carbon monoxide alarm is permitted to be solely battery operated where repairs or alterations do not result in the removal of wall and ceiling finishes or there is no access by means of attic.basement or crawl space. R315.1.3 Interconnection. Where more than one carbon monoxide alarm is required to be installed within the dwelling unit or within a sleeping unit the alarm shall be interconnected in a manner that activation of one alarm shall activate all of the alarms in the individual unit. Exception: 1. Interconnection is not required in existing dwelling units where repairs do not result in the removal of wall and.ceilina finishes. there is no.access'bv means of attic. basement or crawl space. and no previous method for interconnection existed. R315.2 Where required in existing dwellings: Where a permit is required for alterations, repairs or additions exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), existing dwellings or sleeping units that have attached garages or fuel-burning appliances shall be provided with a carbon monoxide alarm in\accordance with Section R315.1. Carbon monoxide alarms shall only be required in the specific dwelling unit or sleeping unit forwhieh the permit was obtained. R315.2.6 Alarm'requirements: No person shall install, market, distribute, offer for sale or sell any carbon monoxide'device in the State of California unless the device and instructions have been approved and listed by the State Fire Marshal.

The adoption of UL 1703 with revisions through October 25, 2013 and the Emergency Rulemaking that delayed the effective date to January 1, 2015 of the adoption were intended to focus on the areas that require Class A or Class B roofing (SRA and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones). Where Class A or Class B roofing is required, the photovoltaic solar system (photovoltaic panels with the rack support system) shall have a Class A or Class B rating, respectively. Areas in California that only require a minimum Class C roofing due to statutory provision contained in Health and Safety Code 13132.7 should not be impacted by the early adoption of UL 1703. Those buildings and structures requiring Class C roofing should be able to have installed one of the following and meet the intent of the 2013 California Building Standards Code: 1. Photovoltaic panels and modules having a Class C rating under the previous version of UL 1703 (2002 edition with revisions through April 2008), or 2. Photovoltaic panels and modules having a Class C rating complying with UL 790 (2004 edition with revisions through October 2008), or 3. Photovoltaic systems having a minimum Class C rating under the most recent version of UL 1703 (2002 edition with revisions through October 2013). • Fire classification of photovoltaic solar systems and panels shall be marked with their fire classification rating, Class A, B, or C. Questions or comments regarding this Information Bulletin should be directed to Division Chief Kevin Reinertson, Code Development and Analysis at (916) 327-4998, or by electronic mail to kevin.reinertson@fire.ca.gov. i For 1M . • ;I-lib'''. , 1_. . . htto://osfm.fire.ca.gov I 1e enphase TECHNICAL BRIEF NEC 2014 — Enphase System Code Compliance Overview This technical brief discusses new NEC 2014 requirements that apply to Enphase Microinverter Systems. It is useful for installers, electricians, and electrical inspectors or authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs)in understanding how code-compliance is handled where NEC 2014 is adopted. Main topics discussed in this document are: • NEC 2014 Section 690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings • NEC 2014 Section 705.12 Point of Connection • NEC 2014 Section 690.11 DC Arc-Fault Circuit Protection NEC 2014 Section 690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings Enphase Microinverter Systems fully meet the rapid shutdown requirement without the need to install additional electrical equipment. Properly labeling the PV system power source and rapid shutdown ability is required per NEC Section 690.56 (B)and (C). Solar electric PV systems with Enphase Microinverters have one utility-interactive inverter directly underneath each solar module, converting low voltage DC to utility grid-compliant AC. When the utility grid is available and the sun is shining, each microinverter verifies that the utility grid is operating within the IEEE 1547 requirements. Only then does it export AC power into the electric service for use by loads onsite or export power to the utility grid for others to use. When the utility grid has a failure, or the PV system AC circuits are disconnected from the utility service via an AC breaker,AC disconnect, or removal of the solar or main utility service meter, the microinverters stop producing AC power in fewer than six AC cycles. Enphase Microinverters are not capable of operating as an AC voltage source.This means that without an AC utility source, Enphase Microinverters are not able to energize connected wiring and no AC voltage or current can be injected into the inverter output circuits or the grid. When the AC utility source is removed from the inverter output circuits via any means, such as an AC breaker, AC disconnect or removal of the solar or main utility service meter,this equipment performs the rapid shutdown function per 690.12. With an Enphase Microinverter System this shutdown occurs well within the 690.12 required 10 seconds, and there are no other conductors energized more than 1.5 m(5 ft) in length inside a building or more than 3 m (10 ft)from a PV array. Code Reference 690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings. PV system circuits installed on or in buildings shall include a rapid shutdown function that controls specific conductors in accordance with 690.12(1)through (5)as follows. (1) Requirements for controlled conductors shall apply only to PV system conductors of more than 1.5 m (5 ft)in length inside a building, or more than 3 m (10 ft)from a PV array. (2)Controlled conductors shall be limited to not more than 30 volts and 240 volt-amperes within 10 seconds of rapid shutdown initiation. (3)Voltage and power shall be measured between any two conductors and between any conductor and ground. (4)The rapid shutdown initiation methods shall be labeled in accordance with 690.56(B).

Additional tips and information for installing mounts: • See Classic Composition Mount install and Quick Tips videos on nail removal,bolt prep,and more at: www.quickmountpv.com/support/videos.html • It is not necessary or advisable to use nails or other fasteners to secure the perimeter of the flashing. - • The Classic Composition Mount is made to work with standard and high-definition composition/ asphalt and wood shingle roofs with 5"to 5-5/8"courses.If the exposed surface of the course exceeds this measurement you may need to use our Classic Shake Mount instead. • Depending on the season and climate,size and location of seal tabs,and quality of the shingles, the seal tabs that adhere the shingle courses together may not effectively seal the shingles to the flashings.If this is the case,simply add several quarter-sized dabs of manufacturer accepted sealant or asphalt roofing cement,meeting ASTM D 4586 Type II,between the flashing and the shingle above. • Mounts should not be installed in areas of the roof susceptible to ice damming.Water ponding under the shingles can reach the bolt penetration. • Take care not to damage the roofing material while working on the root Removing stone granules and deforming the shingles in any way can shorten the lifespan of the roofing.The value of the solar array is directly affected by the condition of the roof it is attached to.
