Install solar on a flat commercial roof, 5665 W Wilshire block

The flat commercial roofs on this block are some of the best unshaded solar real estate on the Miracle Mile and nearly all of it produces nothing. Ballasted PV on these roofs is the Energy Petal at commercial scale. Standard: Living Building Challenge 4.0 — Energy Petal (net-positive energy). Solar, heat pumps, storage, and EV readiness ARE Energy-petal work. SDG 7. Proof: permit + ballast/layout conformance photos + inspection pass + production photo + GPS Method (Living Building Challenge 4.0 — Energy Petal (net-positive energy). Solar, heat pumps, storage, and EV readiness ARE Energy-petal work. SDG 7.): 1. Verify the approved plan set (structural ballast calc, layout, setbacks) against the actual roof; photograph the roof and electrical room before work. 2. Place ballasted racking per the layout with walkway and access setbacks; protect the membrane per the roofer's detail. 3. Mount modules and run wiring per NEC 690; a licensed electrician makes terminations at the point of interconnection. 4. Commission per the inverter checklist; record initial production. 5. Pass AHJ inspection, submit utility permission-to-operate, and photograph the array, labels and production reading. Done when: permit + ballast/layout conformance photos + inspection pass + production photo + GPS

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.
Proof: permit + ballast/layout conformance photos + inspection pass + production photo + GPS

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 480–960 minutes. Method of record: Rooftop solar PV installation to NEC Article 690 + local AHJ permit, per SEIA/NABCEP install best practice — licensed/credentialed crew; assess→install→verify in one job

Bring

fall protection (anchored harness) + hard hat + gloves (site PPE)
PV modules, racking/flashing, inverter(s), conduit and NEC 690-rated disconnects per the approved plan set
torque wrench + multimeter/clamp meter + irradiance or production-check tool
approved permit plan set + utility interconnection application

Steps

1. ASSESS: verify the approved permit plan set matches the roof (structure, rafter condition, shading, array layout); confirm the main panel rating and the planned interconnection method; photograph existing roof + panel before work.
2. Install flashed roof attachments and racking to the structural plan (torque to spec, flash every penetration watertight); document torque checks.
3. Mount modules, run conduit/wiring, and land the inverter(s) and NEC 690 disconnects and labels exactly per the plan set; a licensed electrician makes and inspects the electrical terminations.
4. Commission: energize per the inverter checklist, measure open-circuit/operating values against design, and record initial production.
5. VERIFY: pass the AHJ final inspection and submit utility permission-to-operate; photograph the completed array, labels, and production reading; leave the owner the as-built + warranty packet.

If it does not match the plan

Rotted/soft decking, undersized structure, or panel bus rating below plan -> STOP: route back to engineering/AHJ before any mounting.
Any wiring or termination outside the licensed electrician's sign-off -> not done; no energization until corrected.
Work at roof height without anchored fall protection -> STOP work immediately.

What counts as done

Every roof penetration flashed and photographed; racking torque log complete
AHJ final inspection passed and utility permission-to-operate submitted/granted
Initial production reading recorded and within design tolerance, with photo of the meter/app
As-built plan + labels photographed (NEC 690 rapid-shutdown/disconnect labeling in place)

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
