Single Family Dwelling Load Calculation
Step-by-Step Example
(Optional Method)
CEC 220.82
Given:
Square foot area of home – 1700 square feet (sf)
1.5 kW (1,500 watts) dishwasher
10 kW range
15 kW central heat
4 kW water heater
29 amp, 240 volt air conditioning
4 kW clothes dryer
Instructions:
Step 1: Multiply the sf area by 3 volt-amperes (VA) per sf 1700 sf X 3 VA = 5,100 VA
Step 2: Add 1,500 VA for each 2-wire, 20-amp small appliance branch circuit and the laundry circuit
1,500 VA X 3 = 4,500 VA
Step 3: Add in the appliance loads at nameplate value or given on table (whichever is greater). Range
10,000 VA, Water heater 4,000 VA, Clothes dryer 4,000 VA, Dishwasher 1,500 VA
Step 4: Add all appliance loads together: 5,100+ 4,500 + 10,000 + 4,000 + 4,000 + 1,500 = 29,100 VA
Step 5: Subtract 10,000 VA from the total VA (this will be added back in later) 29,100 – 10,000 = 19,100
VA
Step 6: Multiply the remainder (19,100 VA) times 40%. 19,100 X .40 = 7,640 VA
Step 7: Add the 10,000 VA value from step 5 and the 7,640 VA from step 6 together to find the general
load. 10,000 + 7,640 = 17,640 VA
Step 8: Compare the heating load to the AC load and take the larger of the two loads AC load at 100% =
29 amps X 240 volts = 6,960 VA, Heat load at 65% = 15,000 VA X .65 = 9,750 VA (largest load)
Step 9: Add the general load to the largest of the AC or heating load. General load (17,640 VA) +
Heating load (9,750 VA) = Total load (27,390 VA)
Step 10: Divide the total load in VA by the voltage 27,390 / 240 = 114 amps
(114 amps would equal minimum panel capacity)

Application
Permit Application Requirements
✓ Qualified personnel
The project’s contractor must possess an active business license from the
City of San Juan Capistrano and an active CSLB license with at least one of
the following classifications:
B - General Building Contractor
C-46 - Solar Contractor
C-10 - Electrical Contractor
Reference: CEC 690.4
✓ Specification sheets and installation manuals
Specification sheets and installation manuals (if available) for all major PV
system components. These uploads must include specifications for all of
the following:
ESS components
Inverters
Reference: CEC 690.4
✓ Eligible projects
Project Scope and Compliance Details
3
To qualify for an online solar permit, a project must involve installation of a
PV module or an ESS unit.
ESS Electrical Code Installation Requirements
✓ UL 9540 listed ESS
UL 9540 is an umbrella standard in that it includes several standards as
prerequisites to fulfill the requirements in UL 9540. An ESS is defined as,
“Equipment that receives energy and then provides a means to store that
energy in some form for later use in order to supply electrical energy when
needed”. The most common type of UL 9540 ESS utilizes a lithium-ion
battery to store the energy. That lithium-ion battery must be listed to UL
1973, Standard for Stationary and Locomotive Batteries. In addition to the
certification for the batteries, the inverters must be certified to UL 1741,
Standard for Inverters, Converters, and Controllers for use in Distributed
Energy Systems. This is the same standard used for PV utility-interactive
inverters that must be specifically listed and labeled for this application
[CEC 690.4(B)].
Without this specific identification process for ESS, an unacceptable
amount of review would be necessary to approve the equipment used in
these systems. ESS that pass UL 9540 meet the basic requirement in the
CRC and the CEC for an ESS.
Reference: R 328.2
✓ Installation of ESS Units
ESS units must be installed according to manufacturer's installation
instructions.
Reference: R 328.3
✓ Approved pairings of batteries and inverters
Battery and inverter pairings must be approved per the manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
✓ Installation of Battery Inverters
Project Scope and Compliance Details
4
Electrochemical battery systems must be paired with a battery or a hybrid
inverter.
If your ESS comes with an inverter, please remember to specify the inverter
separately when submitting your details.
ESS Residential Code Installation Requirements
✓ Limitation on Size of Individual ESS Units
This requirement limits the size of an individual ESS unit to 20 kWh. One
reason for this basic limitation is to put an upper bound on the amount of
energy that can be stored in one enclosure. Individual enclosures are
limited to 20 kWh which is consistent with the language of the 2022 CRC.
Reference: R 328.5
✓ Size and Location of ESS Units
ESS shall be installed only in the following location:
Detached garages and detached accessory structures.
Attached garages separated from the dwelling unit living space in
accordance with Section R302.6.
Outdoors or on the exterior side of exterior walls located not less than 3
feet (914 mm) from doors and windows directly entering the dwelling
unit.
Enclosed utility closets, basements, storage or utility spaces within
dwelling units with finished or noncombustible walls and ceilings. Walls
and ceilings of unfinished wood-framed construction shall be provided
with not less than 5/8-inch (15.9 mm) Type X gypsum wallboard.
The aggregate rating of the ESS shall not exceed:
40 kWh within utility closets, basements and storage or utility spaces.
80 kWh in attached or detached garages and detached accessory
structures.
Project Scope and Compliance Details
5
80 kWh on exterior walls.
80 kWh outdoors on the ground.
Reference: R 302.6
✓ Separation of ESS Units
The basic code requirement is for ESS units to be located 36 inches apart.
For instance, two separate 20 kWh energy storage units could be installed
on either side of an inverter that was processing the DC power from these
storage units. If no additional large-scale fire testing is provided, these
units could be installed as close to the inverter as permitted by the
inverter’s instructions and no closer than 36 inches apart from each other.
However, if large-scale fire testing showed that the units could be safely
installed 12 inches apart, it would be permissible to install both units next
to one another on one side of the inverter.
PV and ESS Electrical Code Interconnection Requirements
✓ Inverter Installation
The inverter installation should meet the requirements of Article 705.
