Hypothetical example / Riverside
Adding solar to an existing home during remodel
Imagine a remodel combined with adding solar. Ask whether the solar affects documentation for the remodel and coordinate designers. Solar sizing for a remodel is typically an owner choice unless requirements apply to the scope; ask the preparer. If the remodel adds an electric heat pump or water heater, the PV designer may want to account for new loads. Keep the solar designer and energy preparer informed of each other's assumptions so documentation remains consistent.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
Scenario checklist
- Describe solar system
- Ask about documentation interaction
