Solar-ready and photovoltaic and battery storage system requirements: exemption.

Existing law authorizes the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission) to prescribe, by regulation, energy efficiency standards, including appliance efficiency standards. Under this authority, the Energy Commission has established building standards for the installation of photovoltaic systems meeting certain requirements for certain residential and commercial buildings. Existing law requires any building standard that has been adopted by the Energy Commission pursuant to these provisions to be submitted to the California Building Standards Commission for approval.
