The specifications and regulations governing Photovoltaic (PV) undergo continuous revision to enable the adoption of new technologies, to implement lessons learned from fielded systems, and to facilitate the maturation of PV into a major energy source for the U.S. and the rest of the world. Presently, the practice of developing, implementing, and disseminating PV codes and standards has deficiencies: 1. There is no formal coordination in the planning or revision of different, though interrelated, codes and standards 2. Opportunities and procedures for presenting information from PV stakeholders to standards-making bodies are limited, difficult to find, or absent 3. No centralized repository exists for collection and dissemination of documents, regulations, and supporting technical materials 4. No centralized service exists for generating consensus "best practices" materials or providing such materials to utilities, state and other regulating jurisdictions, answering code-related questions (technical or statutory in nature), or providing feedback on important related issues to DOE and government agencies. This proposal presents an integrated plan to address these four deficiencies. The new Solar Codes and Standards Working Group (SCSWG) will create a major improvement in the responsiveness, effectiveness, and accessibility of codes and standards to U.S. PV stakeholders at all levels. In addition, the SCSWG focus on codes and standards planning as needed to support the new technologies of the Solar America Initiative Technology Pathway Partnership award winners. The SCSWG will identify current issues, establish a dialogue among key stakeholders, and catalyze appropriate activities to support the development of codes and standards that facilitate the installation of high quality, safe photovoltaic systems. The North Carolina Solar Center will provide support in te areas of Net Metering, Interconnection, and Local Codes and Standards.
