Abstract
The rising popularity of photovoltaic (PV) systems as an ecologically beneficial alternative energy source, coupled with tax benefits offered by some states, has led many homeowners and businesses to consider adding PV cells to their roofs. A successful rooftop PV installation requires interdisciplinary coordination. If not properly designed and installed, the addition of PV panels can adversely affect roofing performance. This bulletin outlines relevant codes and standards and provides best practices for installing PV panels on low-slope roofs.
