California ADU Solar Requitrements


 Share

Recommended Posts

According to the ADU laws in California, if you build a new detached ADU, you must have solar.
As of January 1st 2023 there is an exemption; If your PV Capacitiy on your title 24 is below 1.8 kwdc then you do not need solar.

 

Here are my questions:

  • Is anyone familiar with this and can help me understand it better?
  • Does ayone else have any questions or input in this matter?
  • Is there a way to lower the kwdc in the title 24 and if so, how?

 

This image is a snipit from a Title 24 report for an ADU that is 787 square feet (two bedroom two bath unit). As you can see the PV Capacitiy is kwdc 1.95 and if it was 1.8 or under then the owner will not be required to do Solar.

i think you are correct. for ways around this call my guy, he will tell you exactly what you can do.  Barry Hanes =1-714-448-4350 he has been doing my title 24 for many years, since it got too complicated for me to spend time on.
