California energy complianceTitle 24 project FAQs
Practical answers for builders and developers coordinating solar, storage, and electrical scope.
1Which projects may trigger Title 24 solar requirements?
Requirements depend on the building type, project scope, climate zone, and the energy documents approved for the project. New residential construction is a common trigger, but the approved plans govern each job.
2Is battery storage required on every new residential project?
No single answer applies to every project. Battery requirements and exceptions depend on the building classification, compliance pathway, system design, and current California Energy Code.
3When should the solar and electrical team join the project?
Early coordination is best, ideally during design development. It allows roof layout, service sizing, equipment locations, pathways, structural needs, and energy documentation to align before construction.
4Can AD Solar coordinate plans, permits, and inspections?
Yes. Our scope can include system planning, electrical coordination, permit support, installation, inspection corrections, and utility interconnection activities as applicable.
5Can you support ADUs and multi-family developments?
Yes. We support detached and attached ADUs, new homes, and multi-unit projects, with system design and coordination tailored to the approved energy model and site conditions.
6What should builders provide for a proposal?
Send the architectural and electrical plans, approved energy documents when available, roof and structural information, project address, unit count, schedule, and bid instructions.
