CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE INFORMATION
Title 24 is California's building energy code. Requirements can affect new residential construction, solar photovoltaic systems, and pool heating equipment depending on the project, location, climate zone, and applicable code cycle.
Revco Solar provides this page as a general overview for homeowners, builders, and existing customers. Requirements should always be confirmed for your specific project with the applicable permitting authority or code professional.
TITLE 24 SOLAR PV
California's residential energy standards can include photovoltaic requirements for new construction. The required system size and compliance method depend on the specific project and applicable energy calculations.
Title 24 solar requirements are generally calculated as part of the project's energy compliance documentation rather than as a fixed square-foot requirement.
Compliance is project-specific and should be reviewed using the applicable Title 24 documentation and local permitting requirements.
Exceptions or alternative compliance pathways may apply because of roof limitations, shading, structural feasibility, calculated system size, approved community solar participation, or other qualifying conditions.
REVCO SOLAR SERVICE UPDATE
Revco Solar is no longer primarily focused on new photovoltaic installations. Limited PV support may be available for qualifying systems originally installed by Revco Solar or for applicable warranty-related needs.
POOL HEATING REQUIREMENTS
Pool-heating rules can affect new pools and certain major pool projects. The compliant primary heating system and allowable backup equipment depend on the code requirements applicable to the project.
For qualifying new pool projects, the permitted primary heating source may need to comply with current California energy-code requirements.
Gas equipment may be permitted as supplemental or backup heat when paired with a compliant primary heating system, depending on the applicable code requirements.
REVCO SOLAR'S PRIMARY FOCUS
Revco Solar specializes in solar pool heating installation, diagnostics, repair, maintenance, inspections, and existing system support.
Solar pool heating can use available sunshine to help extend the swimming season while reducing reliance on conventional pool-heating equipment.
PROJECT-SPECIFIC COMPLIANCE
California energy-code compliance is not one-size-fits-all. The requirements for your property can depend on the type of construction, permit scope, equipment, climate zone, and local permitting authority.
Determine whether the work involves new construction, a new pool, replacement equipment, or another permitted project.
Confirm which California energy-code cycle and local requirements apply to the permit.
Choose equipment and system configurations that satisfy the applicable project requirements.
Final compliance and permit approval are determined by the applicable building department or authority having jurisdiction.
TITLE 24 FAQ
Not necessarily. Compliance is determined as part of the overall Title 24 energy calculation and applicable project requirements.
Depending on the applicable requirements, gas heating may be permitted as supplemental or backup heat when paired with a compliant primary heating system. Confirm the requirements for your specific permit.
Requirements vary by project scope, location, permit type, code cycle, equipment, and local jurisdiction. Confirm project requirements with the applicable permitting authority or qualified code professional.
Revco Solar is now primarily focused on solar pool heating. Limited photovoltaic support may be available for qualifying systems originally installed by Revco Solar or for applicable warranty-related needs.
Yes. Solar pool heating is Revco Solar's primary focus, including installation, diagnostics, repairs, maintenance, inspections, and existing system support.
