How to deal with the horizontal panels on the ridge of photovoltaic panels

How close can solar panels be to the edge of the roof?

In most cases, solar panels are required to have a minimum of 18 inches of recoil from the roof ridge and may also require a three-foot path along one of the edges. Once on the ridge, the path
