"The recent proliferation of residential, commercial and utility photovoltaic power systems has presented a major challenge for electrical plan reviewers and field inspectors. Rapidly evolving technology along with constantly changing code and listing requirements only adds to the challenge. Never has so much electrical power generation been placed on the roofs of our homes and businesses! Nor has there ever been a time when informed and competent inspection was more essential.

Understanding the unique nature of PV systems and related NEC rules is critical to insure safe and productive installations. Against this backdrop, Photovoltaic Power Systems for lnspectors & Plan Reviewers is a timely and essential tool for plan reviewers, field inspectors and installers alike."
