solar installation company is that <strong>solar installation is a construction process<\/strong>.\u00a0 Most install teams make the process look simple due to their experience.\u00a0 And the install process for most residential jobs is quite short, further supporting the mindset that solar is an accessory added to a home and not a major construction project.<\/p>\n<p>Second, construction, in the state of California, is driven by construction, <strong>building and fire codes<\/strong>.\u00a0 These codes are developed to ensure the safety of both the construction crew working the job, but also to promote the integrity of the construction project \u2013 again, linked to safety.\u00a0 According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/building-code-resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FEMA, building codes<\/a> are \u201csets of regulations governing the design, construction, alteration and maintenance of structures.\u00a0 They specify the minimum requirements to adequately safeguard health, safety, and welfare of building occupants.\u00a0 Most states and local jurisdictions adopts the model building codes maintained by the International Code Council (ICC).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why Are Codes Important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_641\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\"

class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Log Cabin Hub<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Quite simply, codes keep people safe.\u00a0 Codes are designed to keep installers from making drastic mistakes that can put the system, and the building they are mounted on, in jeopardy.\u00a0 They promote the safety of workers and they promote the safety of the people working and living in the buildings that are being constructed or modified.\u00a0 We are in the solar industry, but the solar industry is about people.\u00a0 If we are not taking proactive steps to protect the families and businesses who benefit from solar energy, there is not much reason to be in business.\u00a0 We pride ourselves in being leaders in local solar \u2013 and that means we put people in the community first.<\/p>\n<p>Building our systems to code means several things.\u00a0 First, it means that we are following the guidelines for construction that are laid out by the local governments and governing jurisdictions where we install.<\/p>\n<p>Second, it means that value our customers.\u00a0 Anyone who is willing to sell and install a solar installation that is not to code values the money involved in the transaction and nothing beyond that.\u00a0 It means they are willing to put your home, business and the people within those buildings at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, as a homeowner, solar systems that are not to code could have serious repercussions.\u00a0\u00a0 Real Estate professionals emphasize that if a city or county finds out a system is not installed to code; the building could be <strong>\u201cred-tagged\u201d for a health and safety violation<\/strong>.\u00a0 In solar, that means that you may have to pay someone to tear down your system and reinstall the panels, so they are to code.\u00a0 In the realm of selling the home, the homeowner may have to pay for this to be done before the home can be sold or have to give the buyers a credit to fix the solar system installation on their own.\u00a0 Either way, having a system that is not to code can cost someone thousands of dollars to fix \u2013 or thousands more if there is some sort of code violation that leads to disaster such as fire, or a panel coming off the roof.<\/p>\n<p>As a business owner with a responsibility to the community, our employees and our customers, it is fundamentally wrong to sell and install a system that does not align with local building code.\u00a0 We will not do it, nor will we condone any company that does.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Do I Look For? What Do I Do? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The solar industry is driven by many types of code that include fire code, electrical code and building code.\u00a0 This means that the solar installation company you choose to work with must be constantly working with local jurisdictions to ensure all engineering plan sets are accurate and truly built to code.<\/p>\n<p>For a consumer to be familiar with all necessary codes is unreasonable.\u00a0 However, as you sit down to review plans and quotes with your selected solar installation company, it is important you ask your sales representative to point out how the system, it&#8217;s components and installation strategy answer to building codes, fire codes and engineering codes.\u00a0 If your sales professional is not able to speak to the code, ask to work with someone who can.<\/p>\n<p>This is why we openly invite customers, and people who just want to learn about solar, into our Educational Showroom located in downtown Brentwood.\u00a0 We have a Solar Designer in house.\u00a0 Our Solar Designer is such an asset to our solar team because he can walk both our Energy Advisers and our customers through the layers of code each system has to be built and designed to.\u00a0 Our Solar Designer is a key educator who is familiar with all the local, city, and country building code expectations.\u00a0 This allows us to confidently work with families and business owners and speak to safety.\u00a0 Unfortunately, not all local solar companies can offer that necessary and mandatory service to their customers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reach Out<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Building, fire and electrical code save lives.\u00a0 Although seemingly a dramatic statement, it is grounded in why these codes exist.\u00a0 Construction is a business that must be led from a perspective of safety and follow the city and county regulations.\u00a0 It is not a matter of choice, it is a matter of saving lives and avoiding lurking dangers.\u00a0 If you are interested in learning more about codes that regulate the installation of either a commercial or a residential solar system, reach out to one of our Energy Advisers today.<\/p>\n<p>If you are in the process of looking for a solar company, here are some great articles to supplement your research:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/top-questions-you-should-ask-any-solar-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0Top Questions You Should Ask Any Solar Company<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/not-all-solar-mounting-and-racking-systems-are-made-equal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Not All Solar Mounting and Racking Systems Are Made Equal<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/dont-damage-your-roof\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Don&#8217;t Damage Your Roof<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/why-a-solar-designer-is-important\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why a Solar Designer is Important<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building and Fire Code Matters \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Recently we have seen an influx of customers walking into our showroom with a wave of questions outside the typical realm of questions people bring to the table.\u00a0 The most eye-opening question is, \u201cCan you look at our plan sets?\u00a0 I am not sure they are to code.\u201d Our [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[92,97,96,91,44,34,15,21],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Solar Building Codes - Del Sol Energy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"How do solar building codes affect home or commercial building projects?
