What is the distance needed from an electrical panel to the edge of a roof?
There is no specific distance specified in the code book. The meter stack has to be on the outside of the building and some times this means bringing it through the eave end of the roof line. The connection point has to be 15 feet high as a minimum. The utility meter has to be at head height on the outside wall for the meter reader to see and read it. On the lower end of the meter stack is the electrical panel. As you can see the distances will change in every circumstance depending on where the electrical panel is placed. The electrical panel can not be placed any further in the building from the outside wall than ten feet.
