Can two ADUs on one property have separate solar systems?
They can when the approved electrical, metering, utility and permitting design supports that arrangement. This Los Angeles project used two separately planned rooftop systems. Another property may require a different configuration after its services, meters, roofs and utility requirements are reviewed.
What must be evaluated before installing solar on an ADU?
The design should evaluate roof area and condition, structural and fire-setback requirements, shading, electrical service and panel capacity, conductor pathways, utility interconnection, equipment placement and the ADU’s expected energy use.
Why were the two ADU roofs installed in separate sequences?
One array was on a first-story roof and the other on a second-story roof. Each roof had different access, layout, staging and electrical-path considerations, so the work was coordinated as two planned installations rather than treated as one repeated layout.
What do Part One and Part Two show?
Part One documents roof preparation, mounting, conductor-path planning, module staging and rooftop installation. Part Two continues with the wall-mounted solar equipment, disconnects, grounding and bonding conductors and protected wiring pathways for the two systems. Final inspection, utility authorization and production verification remain part of project closeout.
