Hello everyone, I just joined the forum. I live in FL and just bought 12 used SunPower 305W panels to install on my roof. I've also already purchased a keco 3502XI inverter new.
I dont want to purchase anything else until I can get my permit granted as I already feel slightly overwhelmed by the permitting process and requirements. From what i've gathered here, I have begun to design my permit packet on solar design tools and I created a rail structure on Iron ridge's site.
If any users are familiar with FL area, im in unincorporated Volusia County. I'm trying to determine if the permit packet solardesigntools provides me will be adequate or if I would still need them stamped by an engineer.
I have a new home (October 2018) with a hipped metal roof, and I still have all the load test documents from the truss company, I figured it would be helpful to submit with my permit packet. I am placing the panels on the south side of the roof, and plan to run the wiring through my attic to the north side of the house where my main panel is, unless it would make more sense to put the inverter closer to the panels and run the wiring as AC to the panel through the attic, still trying to determine that..
Other than that I believe the last thing I need to figure out is the rapid shutdown, i'm finding it difficult to figure out what devices will work with my inverter..
Thanks for all the help!
