If the requirement to maintain a 3 ft clearance between the edge of the roof and a solar panel is in the code, then I am struggling to find it. The rationale that I have discussed with other code gurus is for the purpose of allowing fire fighters to walk around the panels rather than on top of the panels. Maybe it is simply a common-sense rule?
I have read IRC R905.16 and M2301 - nothing to say about a 3 ft. clearance requirement there.
Anyone know where this is located in writing?
Thanks
