New Fire Dept Regulations [RE-wrenches]

[Joel Davidson]

<x-flowed>

Shall roof-mounted air conditioning hardware also "be of the quick release 
type"? "4 feet from the roof's edge, ridge, eaves and parapets walls" means 
a 360 square feet solar array of 20 each 200-watt modules would require at 
least 779 square feet of roof space. "Solar Power Enhanced" indeed.

Every PV contractor should join their state or national Solar Energy 
Industries Association and work collectively to address these restrictive 
requirements. CALSEIA is working to educate emergency responders. See
