(A) For a small residential rooftop solar energy system eligible for expedited review, only one inspection shall be required, which shall be done in a timely manner and may include a consolidated inspection by the building official and Fire Chief, or their designees. If a small residential rooftop solar energy system fails inspection, a subsequent inspection is authorized; however, the subsequent inspection need not conform to the requirements of this subsection (A).
(B) Upon confirmation by the city of the application and supporting documents being complete and meeting the requirements of the checklist, the city shall administratively approve the application and issue all required permits or authorizations. Such approval does not authorize an applicant to connect the small residential rooftop energy system to the local utility provider’s electricity grid. The applicant is responsible for obtaining such approval or permission from the local utility provider.
(C) The city’s review of the application shall be limited to review of whether the application meets all local, state and federal health and safety requirements.
