How should permitting constraints be integrated into PV electrical design?
Engineering answer
Include permitting constraints before finalising the electrical design. Check land use, landscape or building restrictions, site access, grid-connection conditions and applicable structural and fire-safety requirements. Use those findings to set the array layout, inverter configuration, cable routes and protections, then prepare the documents required by the local approval process.
