It is intended to minimize permitting uncertainty and differing interpretation regarding specific code requirements for solar PV installations.
If the addition of a solar PV system does not cause a building to exceed its allowable height, number of stories, or building area, the requirements of Exceptions 2 and 3 in Section 503 need not be applied
