[RE-wrenches] Vent Pipes under an array?

[Glenn Burt]

We have never placed modules over any vent pipes - if they cannot be
relocated, they will limit the available area for the array.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Vent Pipes under an array?

 

Wrenchers, 

My local JHA has recently decided that vents for anything other than fresh
air are not allowed under the solar array.   The ones that are causing me
the biggest problem are the plumbing vent pipes as I have several projects
with 10 or more pipes to deal with.  Has anyone successfully proven that it
is not a health problem to vent under the array since there is plenty of
airflow between panels and on all 4 sides of the array?  Other than
extending the pipes through the array by leaving out panels, are there any
other suggestions? 

 My application is flat roofs with raised multiple row arrays (100+ solar
panels)

 All feedback is appreciated.
