APPLICATIONS<\/p>\n
21<\/p>\n
Solar Panel refers to roof mounted panels that use solar energy to<\/p>\n
either heat water directly (Solar Water Heating System), or to<\/p>\n
Electric<\/p>\n
generate electricity using photo-voltaic cells (Solar<\/p>\n
System)<\/p>\n
2.2<\/p>\n
This section refers to flat roofs and pitched roofs of single story<\/p>\n
dwellings and the roof section of the building that covers the<\/p>\n
footprint of the Manor; that is unshared roof space for which<\/p>\n
the request is being submitted<\/p>\n
23<\/p>\n
All costs and maintenance of the alteration, present and future, are<\/p>\n
the responsibility of the Mutual Member<\/p>\n
24<\/p>\n
Detailed, site-specific plans for all water and electrical lines for the<\/p>\n
solar panel installation, including penetrations, shall be submitted to<\/p>\n
the Manor Alterations Department for approval<\/p>\n
2.5<\/p>\n
Structural details and calculations for the installation of the<\/p>\n
proposed solar system existing roof structure, signed and stamped<\/p>\n
by a California-licensed engineer are required to ensure the solar<\/p>\n
panel system does not compromise the existing roof structure and<\/p>\n
that the roof is adequate to accept attachments and to support all<\/p>\n
applied loadings. Consult with the City for additional requirements<\/p>\n
2.6<\/p>\n
Solar Panels installed on pitched roofs with light weight tile require<\/p>\n
that the entire section from roof ridge to the edges be removed and
\nreplaced with CertainTeed Landmark TL composition shingle<\/p>\n
roofing or equivalent in all major aspects (aesthetics, materials and<\/p>\n
warranty) on the entire roof area where the array will be located.<\/p>\n
The roof must then be trimmed with light weight tiles (LWT) to<\/p>\n
match in materials and appearance of the original roof being<\/p>\n
replaced. The current composition shingle roofing standards for<\/p>\n
waterproofing the roof at the time of installation must be followed<\/p>\n
and will include a single layer underlayment, drip edge metal, step<\/p>\n
flashings at existing skylights and chimneys, penetration flashings<\/p>\n
for all vents and vent pipes, and valley metal at valley areas.<\/p>\n
2.7<\/p>\n
PVC Flat roof under warranty with the Mutual’s reroofing contractor<\/p>\n
shall require the roofing contractor holding the warranty to complete<\/p>\n
the roof tie-in work at the member’s expense. PVC Flat roofs that<\/p>\n
remain under a Johns Manville materials warranty shall require a<\/p>\n
Johns Manville (JM) Approved Contractor perform the tie-in work at<\/p>\n
the member’s expense. Solar panel installations onto roofs outside<\/p>\n
of the warranty periods must be water tight and meet or exceed all<\/p>\n
current<\/p>\n
I.C.C (International<\/p>\n
Code Council),<\/p>\n
State and City<\/p>\n
standards.<\/p>\n
2.8<\/p>\n
Flat roof mounting shall be set with the highest point flush with the<\/p>\n
top of the parapet wall so as to be hidden from the ground or<\/p>\n
surrounding properties. The lowest point of the solar array<\/p>\n
equipment shall be a minimum of 10 inches above the flat roof. The<\/p>\n
top stanchions and racking used to connect the array to the roof<\/p>\n
shall be water tight and meet or exceed all current I.C.C<\/p>\n
(International Code Council), State and City standards.<\/p>\n
2.9<\/p>\n
The solar panel array must be located away from the edges of<\/p>\n
roofs and parapets as required by the City but not less than 24\u201d and<\/p>\n
must maintain sufficient clearance (but not less than 24\u201d) between<\/p>\n
any architectural features such as, but not limited to skylights,<\/p>\n
mechanical equipment, vent pipes and for the most direct path to<\/p>\n
these features in order to enable proper access for maintenance.<\/p>\n
2.10.<\/p>\n
Water and electric lines must be set on blocking above the surface<\/p>\n

must be UL approved, or comply with equivalent international<\/p>\n
standards.<\/p>\n
2.16<\/p>\n
A solar panel system may only serve a single manor.<\/p>\n
2.17<\/p>\n
All solar panel installations located on the roof of a unit that is<\/p>\n
under warranty must be inspected and approved, in addition to<\/p>\n
any required City inspections, by a VMS Inc. Roofing Inspector<\/p>\n
before the solar array is installed, after roof penetrations are<\/p>\n
complete, and prior to a final inspection of the Mutual Consent.<\/p>\n
If re-roofing is required for the solar panel installation, in<\/p>\n
addition to any City-required inspections, inspections by a<\/p>\n
Mutual inspector will be performed prior to finalizing the mutual<\/p>\n
consent.<\/p>\n
2.18.<\/p>\n
Approved locations for Energy Storage Devices: As per<\/p>\n
California and City code, all energy storage device installations<\/p>\n
must be inspected by OCFA. Installation must be on the exterior<\/p>\n
walls, in the garage, or in a California and City code compliant<\/p>\n
interior area of the manor. Energy storage devices visible to the<\/p>\n
members must be painted to match the wall it is mounted on or<\/p>\n
be screened with an approved enclosure that complements the<\/p>\n

provide rights to utilize common area must be completed prior to<\/p>\n
the installation of any solar array.<\/p>\n
3.2<\/p>\n
For continuous roofs that cover more than one manor, if the roof is<\/p>\n
required to be replaced, the member may limit the replacement of<\/p>\n
roof to the projected area of the manor requesting approval for the<\/p>\n
solar installation. A 3-ft roof transition will be required between the<\/p>\n
new roof and the existing roof and said transition will take place<\/p>\n
within the above described area.<\/p>\n
3.3<\/p>\n
Member accepts responsibility and agrees to pay for repairs to<\/p>\n
common areas, including but not limited to roofing, framing, wiring<\/p>\n
and drywall caused, in whole or in part, by Member’s solar panels<\/p>\n
or their installation, operation, maintenance or removal; and,<\/p>\n
Member accepts all responsibility for damage to Member’s Manor<\/p>\n
or other Manors or to personal property caused or contributed to by<\/p>\n
the installation, operation, maintenance or removal of the solar<\/p>\n
panels.<\/p>\n
3.4<\/p>\n
The Member is responsible for, and will bear all costs associated<\/p>\n
with removing, altering, covering or reinstalling the alteration as<\/p>\n
may be necessary or appropriate to allow the Mutual to conduct<\/p>\n
maintenance or repairs of common area. The Mutual will<\/p>\n
endeavor to give a minimum of thirty (30) days advance written<\/p>\n
notice (unless it is an emergency) of the need to remove, alter,<\/p>\n
cover or replace the solar panel. Failure to complete the required<\/p>\n
work within the allowed time will require that the Mutual perform<\/p>\n
the removal, alteration, or covering at the Member’s cost, which<\/p>\n
will be billed as a Chargeable Service to the Member. Re-<\/p>\n
installation of any components removed by the Mutual as a<\/p>\n
chargeable service remains the responsibility of the member.<\/p>\n
3.5<\/p>\n
The Member is responsible for, and will bear all costs associated<\/p>\n
with, clean-up or repair of Mutual owned or controlled property<\/p>\n
made necessary by or resulting from the alteration.<\/p>\n
3.6<\/p>\n
All costs associated with roof replacement above and beyond the
\ntypical cost for roof replacement due to the solar panel installation<\/p>\n
