Vibrant Solar Confidential for Customer only. Please do not distribute Page 2 of 40 Photovoltaic System Proposal Terms, conditions and notes The utility stipulates the use of STC or PTC panel ratings. AC output of systems is derated as recommended in PVWATTS. Source for pollution savings numbers comes from www.greenpowergroup.org Estimated production comes from NREL's PVWatts estimators based upon historical data for Colorado at the chosen test conditions. All tax figures are estimated and reflect what we understand of the current regulations. Vibrant Solar is not qualified to m ake tax advice and this should not be construed as such. Always consult a certified tax attorney before making any decisions regarding a PV purchase. There are issues such as AMT and property taxes which should be considered. Unless otherwise noted, Vibrant Solar may change the final inverter selection due to engineering or availability constraints. All standard inverters sold by Vibrant carry a 10 year Jim ited warranty. Non standard equipment or inverters may vary in theirwarranty. Due to volatility in the market, the prices quoted here are good for 30 days from the date signed by an authorized Vibrant Solar Representative. Permitting costs are estimated. Vibrant installs all systems to current NEC standards. City and county permitting offices may have modified versions of these standards. If a local building office requires substantial changes to ourstandard system or requires extra work, Vibrant reserves the rightto pass on this extra cost to ourcustomers on a time and materials basis. • The THUShading adjustment is the theoretical percent of the maximum outputfrom a fixed panel system oriented at 180 degrees to the south and at a tilt of 40 degrees. This number is adjusted downward to account for panel shading and non-optimal orientation. The annual efficiency loss as shown is based upon the warranted power output by the makers of the selected solar panels. The industry often uses .5%/year as the projected loss. The deposit includes a non-refundable $400 engineering fee and a non-refundable $250 Xcel application fee in Xcel territory. Occasionally our engineers will find something that needs to be done to make a roof meet building codes. The cost of this is variable and not included in this estimate. Additional Electrical work required to bring the customer's electrical system up to code will be charged on a time and materials basis.

This manual provides (1) supporting documentation for building permit applications relating to Unirac's SolarMount Universal PV Module Mounting system, and (2) planning and assembly instructions for SolarMount SolarMount products, when installed in accordance with this bulletin, will be structurally adequate and will meet the structural requirements of the IBC 2006, IBC 2003, ASCE 7- 02, ASCE 7-05 and California Building Code 2007 (collectively referred to as "the Code"). Unirac also provides a limited warranty on SolarMount products (page 26). SolarMount is much more than a product. It's a system of engineered components that can be assembled into a wide variety of PV mounting structures. With SolarMount you'll be able to solve virtually any PV module mounting challenge. It's also a system of technical support: complete installation and code compliance documentation, an on-line SolarMount Estimator, person-to-person customer service, and design assistance to help you solve the toughest challenges. Which is why SolarMount is PV's most widely used mounting system. The installer is solely responsible for: • Complying with all applicable local or national building codes, including any that may supersede this manual; • Ensuring that Unirac and other products are appropriate for the particular installation and the installation environment; • Ensuring that the roof, its rafters, connections, and other structural support members can support the array under all code level loading conditions (this total building assembly is referred to as the building structure); • Using only Unirac parts and installer-supplied parts as specified by Unirac (substitution of parts may void the warranty and invalidate the letters of certification in all Unirac publications), • Ensuring that lag screws have adequate pullout strength and shear capacities as installed; • Verifying the strength of any alternate mounting used in lieu of the lag screws; • Maintaining the waterproof integrity of the roof, including selection of appropriate flashing; • Ensuring safe installation of all electrical aspects of the PV array; and Ensuring correct and appropriate design parameters are used in determining the design loading used for design of the specific installation. Parameters, such as snow loading, wind speed, exposure and topographic factor should be confirmed with the local building official or a licensed professional engineer. 2 SolarMount Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual "I U N IRAC Part I. Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load [l.l.] Using the Simplified Method - ASCE 7-05 The procedure to determine Design Wind Load is specified by the American Society of Civil Engineers and referenced in the International Building Code 2006. For purposes of this document, the values, equations and procedures used in this document reference ASCE 7-05, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. Please refer to ASCE 7-05 if you have any questions about the definitions or procedures presented in this manual. Unirac uses Method 1, the Simplified Method, for calculating the Design Wind Load for pressures on components and cladding in this document. The method described in this document is valid for flush, no tilt, SolarMount Series applications on either roofs or walls. Flush is defined as panels parallel to the surface (or with no more than 3" difference between ends of assembly) with no more than 10" space between the roof surface, and the bottom of the PV panels. This method is not approved for open structure calculations. Applications of these procedures is subject to the following ASCE 7-05 limitations: for more clarification on the use of Method I. Lower design wind loads may be obtained by applying Method II from ASCE 7-05. Consult with a licensed engineer if you want to use Method II procedures. The equation for determining the Design Wind Load for components and cladding is: p~t (Psf) = AK~Jpnetso pnet (psfi =Design Wind Load A = adjustment factorfor height and exposure category Krt = Topographic Factor at mean roof height h (ft) 1= Importance Factor pnet3o (psf) = net design wind pressure for Exposure B, at height =30,1=1 1. The building height must be less than 60 feet, h < 60. See note for determining h in the next section. For installations on structures greater than 60 feet, contact your local Unirac Distributor. 2. The building must be enclosed, not an open or partially enclosed structure, for example a carport. 3. The building is regular shaped with no unusual geometrical irregularity in spatial form, for example a geodesic dome. 4. The building is not in an extreme geographic location such as a narrow canyon or steep cliff. 5. The building has a flat or gable roof with a pitch less than 45 degrees or a hip roof with a pitch less than 27 degrees. 6. If your installation does not conform to these requirements please contact your local Unirac distributor, a local professional engineer or Unirac If your installation is outside the United States or does not meet all of these limitations, consult a local professional engineer or your local building authority. Consult ASCE 7-05 You will also need to know the following information: Basic Wind Speed = V (mph), the largest 3 second gust of wind in the last 50 years. h (ft) = total roof height for flat roof buildings or mean roof heightforpitched roof buildings Effective Wind Area (sf) = minimum total continuous area of modules being installed Roof Zone = the area of the roof you are installing the pv system according to Figure 2, page 5. Roof Zone Setback Length = a (ft) Roof Pitch (degrees) Exposure Category [1.2.] Procedure to Calculate Total Design Wind The procedure for determining the Design Wind Load can be Step 2: Determining Effective Wind Area broken into steps that include looking up several values in Determine the smallest area of continuous modules you will different tables. be installing. This is the smallest area tributary (contributing load) to a support or to a simple-span of rail. That area is the Step 1: Determine Basic Wind Speed, V (mph) Effective Wind Area. Determine the Basic Wind Speed, V (mph) by consulting your local building department or locating your installation on the maps in Figure 1, page 4.

Arrays may be located in more than one roof zone. Using Table 1, determine the Roof Zone Setback Length, a (ft), according to the width and height of the building on which you are installing the pv system. Table I. Determine Roof/Wall Zone, length (a) according to building width and height a = 10 percent of the least horizontal dimension or 0.4h, whichever is smaller, but not less than either 4% of the least horizontal dimension or 3 it of the building.

Step 6: Determine Exposure Category (B, C, D) Determine the Exposure Category by using the following definitions for Exposure Categories. The ASCE/SEI 7-05* defines wind exposure categories as follows: EXPOSURE B is urban and suburban areas, wooded areas, or other terrain with numerous closely spaced obstructions having the size of single family dwellings. EXPOSURE c has open terrain with scattered obstruc- tions having heights generally less than 30 feet. This category includes flat open country, grasslands, and all water surfaces in hurricane prone regions. EXPOSURE D has flat, unobstructed areas and water surfaces outside hurricane prone regions. This catego- ry includes smooth mud flats, salt flats, and unbroken ice.

Procedure to Select Rail Span and Rail Type [2.1.] Using Standard Beam Calculations, Structural Engineering Methodology The procedure to determine the Unirac SolarMount series rail type and rail span uses standard beam calculations and structural engineering methodology. The beam calculations are based on a simply supported beam conservatively, ignoring the reductions allowed for supports of continuous beams over multiple supports. Please refer to Part I for more information on beam calculations, equations and assumptions. In using this document, obtaining correct results is dependent upon the following: 1. Obtain the Snow Load for your area from your local building official. 2. Obtain the Design Wind Load, pnet. See Part I (Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load) for more information on calculating the Design Wind Load. 3. Please Note: The terms rail span and footing spacing are interchangeable in this document. See Figure 3 for illustrations. 4. To use Table 8 and Table 9 the Dead Load for your specific installation must be less than 5 psf, including modules and Unirac racking systems. If the Dead Load is greater than 5 psf, see your Unirac distributor, a local structural engineer or contact Unirac. The following procedure will guide you in selecting a Unirac rail for a flush mount installation. It will also help determine the design loading imposed by the Unirac PV Mounting Assembly that the building structure must be capable of supporting. Step 1: Determine the Total Design Load The Total Design Load, P (psf) is determined using ASCE 7-05 2.4.1 (ASD Method equations 3,5,6 and 7) by adding the Snow Loadl, S (psf), Design Wind Load, pnet (psf) from Part I, Step 9 and the Dead Load (psf). Both Uplift and Downforce Wind Loads calculated in Step 9 of Part 2 must be investigated. Use Table 7 to calculate the Total Design Load for the load cases. Use the maximum absolute value of the three downforce cases and the uplift case for sizing the rail. Use the uplift case only for sizing lag bolts pull out capacities (Put II, Step 6). P (psf) = 1.OD + 1.OS1 (downforce case 1) P (psf) = 1.01) + 1.0pnet (downforce case 2) P (psf) = LOD + 0.7551 + 0.75pnet (downforce case 3) P (psf) = 0.6D + 1.0pnet (uplift) D = Dead Load (psf) S = Snow Load (psf) pnet = Design Wind Load (psf] (Positive for downforce, negative for uplift) The maximum Dead Load, D (psf), is 5 psf based on market research and internal data. 1 Snow Load Reduction - The snow load can be reduced according to Chapter 7ofASCE 7-05. The reduction is a function of the roof slope, Exposure Factor, Importance Factor and Thermal Factor. Please refer to Chapter 7 ofASCE 7-05 for more information. Figure 3.

ASCE 7ASD Load Combinations Note: Table to be filled out or attached for evaluation Step 2: Determine the Distributed Load on the rail, W (PI) Determine the Distributed Load, w (p1f), by multiplying the module length, B (ft), by the Total Design Load, P (psD and dividing by two. Use the maximum absolute value of the three downforce cases and the Uplift Case. We assume each module is supported by two rails. w = PB/2 w = Distributed Load (pounds per linearfoot, ply) B = Module Length Perpendicular to Rails (ft) Step 3: Determine Rail Span/ L-Foot Spacing Using the distributed load, w, from Part II, Step 2, look up the allowable spans, L, for each Unirac rail type, SolarMount (SM) and SolarMount Heavy Duty (HD). There are two tables, L-Foot SolarMount Series Rail Span Table and Double L-Foot SolarMount Series Rail Span Table. The L-Foot SolarMount Series Rail Span Table uses a single L-foot connection to the roof, wall or stand-off. The point load connection from the rail to the L-foot can be increased by using a double L-foot in the installation. Please refer to the Part III for more installation information.

Longer spans produce fewer wall or roof penetrations. However, longer spans create higher point load forces on the building structure. A point load force is the amount of force transferred to the building structure at each connection. It is the installer's responsibility to verifv that the buildin structure is strong enough to sm)Dort the Doint load forces Step 5: Determine the Docvnforce Point Load, R (lbs), at each connection based on rail span When designing the Unirac Flush Mount Installation, you must consider the downforce Point Load, R (lbs) on the roof structure. The Downforce, Point Load, R (Ibs), is determined by multiplying the Total Design Load, P (psf) (Step 1) by the Rail Span, L (ft) (Step 3) and the Module Length Perpendicular to the Rails, B (ft) divided by two. - R (lbs) = PLB12 R = Point Load (Ibs) P = Total Design Load (psf) L = Rail Span (ft) B = Module Length.Perpendicuiar to Rails (ft) It is the installer's responsibility to verify that the building structure is strong enough to support the maximum point 12 loads calculated according to Step 5.

If your installation uses SolarMoum splice bars, attach the rails together (Fig. 13) before mounting the rails to the footings. Use splice bars only with flush installations or those that use low-profile tilt legs. Although structural, the joint is not as strong as the rail itself. A rail should always be supported by more than one footing on both sides of the splice. (Reference installation manual 908.1, Splices/Expansion Joints.) If using more than one splice per rail contact Unirac concerning thermal expansion issues. Mounting Rails on Footings. Rails may be attached to either of two mounting holes in the L-feet (Fig. 14). Mount in the lower hole for a low profile, more aesthetically pleasing installation. Mount in the upper hole for a higher profile, which will maximize airflow under the modules. This will cool them more and may enhance performance in hotter climates. Slide the''%-inch mounting bolts into the footing bolt slots. Loosely attach the rails to the footings with the flange nuts. Ensure that the rails are oriented to the footings as shown in Figure 8, 9, 11, or 12, whichever is appropriate. Aligning the Rail Ends. Align one pair of rail ends to the edge of the installation area (Fig. 15 or Fig. 16). The opposite pair of rail ends will overhang the side of the installation area. Do not rim them off until the installation is complete. If the rails are perpendicular to the rafters (Fig. 15), either end of the rails can be aligned, but the first module must be installed at the aligned end. If the rails are parallel to the rafters (Fig. 16), the aligned end of the rails must face the lower edge of the roof. Securely tighten all hardware after alignment is complete (28-32 ft lbs). Mount modules to the rails as soon as possible. Large temperature changes may bow the rails within a Jew hours if module placement is delayed. Edge of installation area J 1 Figure 15.

If modules are the Plug and Play type, no pre-wiring is required, and you can proceed directly to "Installing the First Module" below. If modules have standard J-boxes, each module should be pre-wired with one end of the intermodule cable for ease of installation. For safety reasons, module pre-wiring should not be performed on the roof. Leave covers off J-boxes. They will be installed when the modules are installed on the rails. Installing the First Module. In high-profile installations, the safety bolt and flange nut must be fastened to the module bolt slot at the aligned (lower) end of each rail. It will prevent the lower end clamps and clamping bolts from sliding out of the rail slot during installation. If there is a return cable to the inverter, connect it to the first module. Close the J-box cover. Secure the first module with T-bolts and end clamps at the aligned end of each rail. Allow half an inch between the rail ends and the end clamps (Fig.18). Finger tighten flange nuts, center and align the module as needed, and securely tighten the flange nuts (15 ft lbs). Installing the Other Modules. Lay the second module face down (glass to glass) on the first module. Connect intermodule cable to the second module and close the J-box cover. Turn the second module face up (Fig. 17). With T-bolts, mid-clamps and flange nuts, secure the adjacent sides of the first and second modules. Align the second module and securely tighten the flange nuts (Fig. 19). For a neat installation, fasten wire management devices to rails with self-drilling screws. Repeat the procedure until all modules are installed. Attach the outside edge of the last module to the rail with end clamps. Trim off any excess rail, being careful not to cut into the roof. Allow half an inch between the end clamp and the end of the rail (Fig. 18). Check th at all flange nuts on T-bolts are torqued to 15 ft lbs Figure 17 1/2" minimum End clamp Figure IS Figure 19 Figure 20. Mid clamps and end clamps for lipped frame modules are identical.

Wrenches and torque Wrench Recommended size torque (ft-lbs) hardware 15 hardware 30 NoteTorque specifications do not apply to log bolt connections. Stainless steel hardware can seize up, aprocess Q called galling. To significantly reduce its likelihood, (1) apply lubricant to bolts, preferably an anti-seize lubricant, available at auto parts stores, (2) shade hardware prior to installation, and (3) avoid spinning on nuts at high speed. See Installation Supplement 910, Galling and Its Prevention, atwww.unirac.com. P,p 21 UN I RAC Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual SolarMount [3.3.1] Planning the installation area Decide on an arrangement for clips, rails, and L-feet (Fig. 22) Use Arrangement A if the full width of the rails contacts the module. Otherwise use Arrangement B. Caution: If you choose Arrangement B, either (1) use the upper mounting holes of the L -feet or (2) be certain that the L feet and clip positions don't conflict. If rails must be parallel to the rafters, it is unlikely that they can be spaced to match rafters. In that case, add structural supports - either sleepers over the roof or mounting blocks beneath it. These additional members must meet code; if in doubt, consult a professional engineer. Never secure the footings to the roof decking alone. Such an arrangement will not meet code and leaves the installation and the roof itself vulnerable to severe damage from wind. Leave enough room to safely move around the array during installation. The width of a rail-module assembly equals the length of one module. Note that L-feet may extend beyond the width of the assembly by as much as 2 inches on each side. The length of the assembly equals the total width of the modules. Figure 22. Clip ArrangementsA and B 22 , SolarMount Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual :m U N I RAC [3.3.2] Laying out the installing L-feet L-feet are used for installation through existing low profile roofing material, such as asphalt shingles or sheet metal. They are also used for most ground mount installations. To ensure that the L-feet will be easily accessible during flush installation: • Use the PV module mounting holes nearest the ends of the modules. • Situate the rails so that footing bolt slots face outward. The single slotted square side of the L-foot must always lie against the roof with the double-slotted side perpendicular to the roof. Foot spacing (along the same rail) and rail overhang depend on design wind loads. Install half the L-feet: • If rails are perpendicular to rafters (Fig. 23), install the feet closest to the lower edge of the roof. • If rails are parallel to rafters (Fig 24), install the feet for one of the rails, but not both. For the L-feet being installed now, drill pilot holes through the roofing into the center of the rafter at each lag screw hole location. Squirt sealant into the hole and onto the shafts of the lag screws. Seal the underside of the L-feet with a sealant. Securely fasten the L-feet to the building structure with the lag screws. Ensure that the L-feet face as shown in Figure 23 or Figure 24. Hold the rest of the L-feet and fasteners aside until the panels are ready for the installation.

Layout with rails parallel to rafters. 23 :UN I RAC Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual SolarMount [3.3.3] Attaching modules to the rails Lay the modules for a given panel face down on a surface that will not damage the module glass. Align the edges of the modules and snug them together (Fig. 21, page22). Trim the rails to the total width of the modules to be mounted. Place a rail adjacent to the outer mounting holes. Orient the footing bolt slot outward. Place a clip slot adjacent to the mounting holes, following the arrangement you selected earlier. Assemble the clips, mounting bolts, and flange nuts. Torque the flange nuts to 15-foot-pounds. wire the modules as needed. For safety reasons, module wiring should not be performed on a roof. For a neat installation, fasten cable clamps to rails with self-tapping screws. [3.3.4] Installing the module-rail assembly Bring the module-rail assembly to the installation site. Keep rail slots free of debris that might cause bolts to bind in the slots. Consider the weight of a fully assembled panel. Unirac recom- mends safety lines whenever lifting one to a roof. Align the panel with the previously installed L-feet. Slide 3/8 inch L-foot mounting bolts onto the rail and align them with the L-feet mounting holes. Attach the panel to the L-feet and finger tighten the flange nuts. Rails may be attached to either of two mounting holes in the footings (Fig. 25). • Mount in the lower hole for a low, more aethetically pleasing installation. • Or mount in the upper hole to maximize a cooling airflow under the modules. This may enhance perfor- mance in hotter climates. Adjust the position of the panel as needed to fit the installa- tion area. Slide the remaining L-feet bolts onto the other rail, attach L-feet, and finger tighten with flange nuts. Align L-feet with mounting holes previously drilled into the roof. Install lag bolts into remaining L-feet as described in "Laying out and installing L-feet"above. Torque all footing flange nuts to 30 pounds. Verify that all lag bolts are securely fastened.

To summarize, we have found it adequate to support the code-required dead and live loads, including loads from the planned solar PV addition as configured in the attached drawing. A jobsite observation of the condition of the existing framing system was performed by personnel from Vibrant Solar. Our review of the roof structural capacity was based on this jobsite observation and on a roof layout provided by Vibrant Solar (attached). Design criteria: • Roof design snow load = 30 psf • Wind load =basic wind speed of 110 MPH (3-second gust) at exposure B. • Roof structural training = standard roof trusses @ 24° o.c., roof pitch = 4:12. • Roofing is standard asphalt shingles. • Solar racking system= Unirac SolarMount rails (2 per module) as shown on the attached drawing L-24-13. Rails supported by L-feet directly connected to the roof framing. • Connections to roof = (1) 5/16" dia. x 4" lag screw per L-foot. • Solar modules = Amerisolar AS-5M 185 modules. The capacity of the roof structural framing to support the additional gravity loads imposed by the solar racking system and modules has been reviewed in accordance with ASCE 7-05. The capacity of the solar racking system and connections to resist the wind and gravity loads has been reviewed in accordance with ASCE 7-05.
