1.	A building with a permanently installed on-site renewable energy system.
2.	A building with a solar ready zone that is shaded for more than 70 percent of daylight hours annually.
3.	A building where the licensed design professional certifies that the incident solar radiation available to the building is not suitable for a solar ready zone
4.	A building where the licensed design professional certifies that the solar zone area required by Section C409.3 cannot be met because of extensive rooftop equipment, skylights, vegetative roof areas or other obstructions.
C409.2	Construction document requirements for solar ready zone.
Construction documents shall indicate the solar ready zone.
C409.3 Solar ready zone area. The total solar ready zone area shall not be less than 40% of the roof area calculated as the horizontally projected gross roof area less the area covered by skylights, occupied roof decks, vegetative roof areas and mandatory access or set back areas as required by the International Fire Code. The solar ready zone shall be a single area or a smaller separated sub-zone areas. Each sub-zone shall be not less than 5 feet in width in the narrowest dimension.
C409.4 Obstructions. Solar ready zones shall be free from obstructions including pipes, vents, ducts, HVAC equipment, skylights, and roof mounted equipment.
C409.5 Roof loads and documentation. A collateral dead load of not less than 5 pounds per square foot (5 psf) shall be included in the gravity and lateral design calculations for the solar ready zone. The structural design loads for roof dead load and roof live load shall be indicated on the construction documents.
C409.6 Interconnection pathway. Construction documents shall indicate pathways for routing of conduit or piping from the solar ready zone to the electrical service panel or service hot water system.
C409.7 Electrical service reserved space. The main electrical service panel shall have a reserved space to allow installation of a dual pole circuit breaker for future solar electric installation and shall be labeled “For Future Solar Electric.” The reserved space shall be positioned at the end of the panel that is opposite from the panel supply conductor connection.
C409.8 Construction documentation certificate. A permanent certificate, indicating the solar ready zone and other requirements of this section shall be posted near the electrical distribution panel, water heater or other conspicuous location by the builder or licensed design professional
