Let Sunlight Solar do your solar pre-wire! We do it right!
The 2017 Oregon Residential Specialty Code (ORSC) requires all new detached one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses to be solar ready.
Solar Ready Details in Central Oregon
- Construction documents shall indicate a 300 square foot solar-ready zone.
- Conduit or MC cable be run from the main electrical panel to under the solar roof.
- Termination of the solar ready conduit or MC cable must be in a square metal junction box by the main electrical panel.
- Space in the electrical service panel must be reserved for a double-pole circuit breaker.
Why We Should Do the Work:
- We will look at the plans and talk with you or your customer to see what is best. Sometimes we run 3⁄4” EMT and sometimes MC cable. We have found a lot of technical problems when other contractors do the run.
- We prefer to terminate on the roof with a solar junction box that looks like a bronze roof vent. This allows us to avoid going into the attic later.
- We also be work with the General Contractor, plumbers and other trades to make sure no pipes are located on the south or solar roof area.
