Yeah, it's an interesting question. Under what conditions can you get away with calling a structure just a PV support structure and not a building? I have not delved into to what detail local building departments define the word "building". Perhaps one theory is that if it does not have a roof then it is not a building..... But then we are into whether the panels are a roof.The extremes are simple - RSD is required for PV on buildings and not for ground mounted PV - but the dividing line between where it is and is not required is not that clear to me.
