In the USA it depends on who the inspector is and what city you are in. You have to be a roofer and an electrican in some places. You have to know wind speeds and how much up draft or dead weight on the foot spacing of the mounts. How big the lag bolts for what type of wood and what depth to lagbolt to keep the array from ripping off the roof. The best way to do it is to take a few classes and install your own first. Then you will know what it takes to get your system past the inspectors. so in turn you will know what is needed to get others to pass inspection. Good luck and keep in mind everyone has a hand out wanting money from you. Permits, Fees for everyone. Taxes and more taxes and then the customer will want a discount of some kind. Oh don't forget safety.. Safety cost a lot as well and insurance.. almost not worth it. Expect to spend a good 100 grand just getting started up and you will need money to keep your rent paid and food on your table till you can get money coming in.<br><b>References : </b><br> What country are you in?
