[RE-wrenches] Are PV Systems Mechanical Equipment?

[Jason Szumlanski]

The Florida Building Code definitions of "equipment" and "appliances" in
the Mechanical Code do not include solar arrays, yet some building
officials insist on applying provisions of the mechanical code.
Specifically, we get quite a few comments about mounting height above the
roof and permanent access ladders and platforms. What is your experience in
your state, and do you consider solar arrays to be "mechanical equipment."

(If you have any ammo specific to FBC 2010 that I can use, I'd be happy to
get your thoughts off-list).
