Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 Report Date: December 3, 2016 Inspection/Testing Date: December 2, 2016 SET File: 16-1207 Prepared by: Trevor Burnett Colorado Certified Asbestos Building Inspector, 22448 Limited Scope of Report The asbestos inspection performed for client was designed to identify suspect asbestos containing building materials in the affected areas of the above -referenced subject property as they existed at the time of the inspection. The inspection was limited to those areas that were visually and physically accessible. The inspection was not a risk assessment, physical inspection of systems, structure, or components of the subject property, as it relates to their serviceability. The inspection was performed in accordance with the Standards of Practice of the Colorado Regulation 8 Part B in effect at the time of this Inspection. This inspection is not intended to be technically exhaustive. The Inspector has prepared this written asbestos Inspection Report for the sole use and benefit of the client. The asbestos inspection report shall identify, report, and make recommendation for future evaluation. Client agrees to read the entire asbestos inspection report when received and shall promptly call the inspector with questions or concerns regarding the report. The use of this report and information contained herein by others, in whole or in part, is not authorized without the written mutual consent of the client and Schaan Environmental Testing (SET). Purpose and Scope The purpose of this inspection was to conduct a visual asbestos inspection and to collect necessary samples in order to determine the presence or absence of asbestos within the subject property in the affected areas only. The scope of this report included a visual inspection of all affected rooms and/or areas throughout the subject property for visible suspect ACM (asbestos containing materials). This does not include any materials that were covered or hidden by walls, structures, carpeting, wood flooring, multiple layers, wallpaper, texturing, etc. However, the Inspector made every reasonable effort to access and identify all suspect ACM. Bulk asbestos samples were randomly collected from homogenous areas of suspect ACM by the above named Inspector, an EPA/State of Colorado Certified Asbestos Inspector. Homogenous areas are defined as any area with the same material, texture, and color. If any of these variables differs between materials or if for any reason the inspector feels the materials might be different in any respect (such as materials being installed at different times even though they appear similar), separate sets of samples must be taken from each homogenous area. Representative bulk samples were taken from similar materials but this does not guarantee that materials of similar appearance are of the same composition. Even similar materials are subject to uneven mixing and distribution and random sampling can miss ACM. SET used reasonable diligence and its professional judgment consistent with industry standards in order to identify all suspect ACM. Performance of this asbestos inspection is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, uncertainty regarding the presence of ACM in connection with the above referenced property. No guarantee: SET cannot be held accountable for restrictions placed on us by the client, conditions or information that remained unknown, or areas that were inaccessible at the time of the inspection. Bulk Samples were analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) in general compliance with guidelines established by the US EPA (40 CFR Part 763, Subpart F, Appendix A). Asbestos concentrations were visually estimated and/or point counted by the laboratory and reported in percent for each layer of the sample. The assessment was executed in accordance with the authorized scope of work. If the scope of work is changed, the inspector must be informed and an addendum made to this report. This report is solely a record of activities, observations, analytical results, and recommendations performed to date. Regulatory Review EPA and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) regulate all building materials that contain greater than 1% asbestos as determined through PLM Analysis. OSHA regulates _ all building materials that contain smaller amounts of asbestos (even trace concentration as determined by PLM analysis). EPA and CDPHE Regulation No. 8, Part B, requires that suspect ACM in buildings built prior to 1988 be assumed to be asbestos or an inspection be conducted prior to demolition or remodeling activities that could disturb ACM. However, with the North American Free Trade Agreement in effect and trade with countries such as Canada, Mexico, and China, it can never be determined that a material is not asbestos containing (even if it was produced after 1988) unless it is tested by a certified state inspector. The EPA and CDPHE require all friable and non -friable ACMs in the affected area(s) be removed prior to renovation activities that may disturb the ACM, and all friable ACM must be removed prior to demolition. Removal or management of regulated ACM is only required if they may be damaged or disturbed during remodeling, demolition, or burning. In some circumstances, "point count" analysis is required for bulk samples previously analyzed by PLM. Point counting is a more detailed means of analysis than standard PLM. Federal and State agencies define ACM as materials containing greater than 1% asbestos. The NESHAP regulation requires that if standard PLM analysis determines that a sample contains less than 10% asbestos, the material must be considered asbestos containing or be point counted. Even if the sample is less than 1% by standard PLM, the material either has to be assumed to be ACM or point counted. If the point counting analysis is different than the PLM analysis, the point counting results take precedence over the PLM. If standard PLM analysis determines that a material has no asbestos or that the material contains greater than 10% asbestos, point counting is not necessary. Background The inspector was called to the subject property by Ashley Gaudet of Delta Disaster Service. Ms. Gaudet was concerned about potential asbestos containing building materials in the affected areas of the home. Per Ms. Gaudet, suspect asbestos containing building materials to be disturbed in the scope of work > include: • Drywall Sampled Building Materials Homogeneous Areas (HA in RED is asbestos containing) • Noma eneous Area 1: Drywall wJ Light Orange Peel Surfacing Material (approx. 44 ft'`j Basement Bedroorn —Ceiling and Walls The affected areas as defined by the scope of work are limited to those listed above. If the scope of work is to change at any point, the inspector must be called back to the property to do additional testing. Sampling The Inspector determined that it was necessary to collect 3 bulk samples from the various homogenous areas (see the Asbestos Sampling below for exact areas). All samples were submitted to an accredited third party independent laboratory. The laboratory results are attached to and incorporated into this report. 4 Asbestos Testing Locations (Samples in RED are asbestos containing) Homogeneous Area Sample Number Sample Location Friable?

(If the installation is not on level ground, please consult ASCE 7-05, Section 6.5.7 and the local building authority to determine the Topographic Factor.) Step 6: Determine Exposure Category (B, C, D) 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 obstructions 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 category includes smooth mud flats, salt flats, and unbroken ice.

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. Application of these procedures is subject to the following ASCE 7-05 limitations: 1. The building height must be less than 60 feet, h< 60'. See note for determining h in the next section. 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 step 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. This method is not approved for open structure calculations. Consult ASCE 7-05 for more clarification on the use of Method I. Lower design wind loads may be obtained by applying Method II from ASCE 7-05.

A ° ~ mr ~ 6 ~ Always follow OSHA guidelin.. Solar modules are installed on rooftops where there is danger of personnel falling off of the roof. Scaffolding, stepladders, and ladders may be dangerous and require caution. The installation of solar modules involves work in high places, take extreme precautions to avoid falling from roof. To prevent accidents, safety regulations must be observed. Always take the following precautions to prevent accidents and injury. 1 Take the following prewutions before starting work. • Plan the job and visit the site before starting work. • On site, do not work alone. Always work with at least one other person. • Inspect power tools before using them. 2 When conditions make it necessary, tell workers to stop working. • When it is raining, or there is a strong probability that it will start raining. • Immediately after rein, and when work areas are slippery. • When high wind conditions exist, or are expected, or when a high wind warning has been issued. • When it is snowing, or when there is snow underfoot. • When the condition of the scaffolding and ladders are not satisfactory. 3 Wear appropriate work clothes and protective equipment. • Work clothes for both the upper and lower body should fit weil and allow you to move freely. • Always wear protective equipment such as harnesses and lifelines. Wear a helmet and secure it correctly. • Wear non-slip shoes. Shoes get dirty when worn on a roof, so keep the soles clean. 4 Observe safety regulations for ascending and descending ladders and stepladders. • Before use, always inspect ladders and stepladders to makes sure they are in good condition. • Choose a safe spot to anchor ladders and stepladders. • Always work with a partner. One person should hold the ladder steady. • Ladders from a first-story roof to a second-story roof are very dangerous. Do not set up a ladder on a roof. When there is no other choice, straddle the ridge and lay down a rubber anchor mat, and secure the ladder to the mat. Always have one person hold the ladder firmly. • When you use a two-stage ladder, secure it with ropes or stays to prevent it from sliding sideways, and have two persons hold the ladder steady. • Use ladders with steps broad enough to permit safe work. 5 When working in high places, wear harnesses and use scaffolding. • When working at heights of 6 ft or more, use scaffolds or other equipment to ensure a st~a6le work platform. • Scaffolds should be designed and erecteO 6y a qualified person. • When it is difficult to erect a stable work pl$' *m, install safety nets, wear harnesses, and takec`:ther measures to prevent falls. • Regulations mandate the use of harnesses. Fasten harnesses securely, and check that the length of lifelines is 6 ft or less. • Attach the primary support line securely to a metal fixture installed for that purpose on a ridge or beam. 6 Install enclosures and covers. • Install enclosures, guardrails, or covers at the end of work decks that are 10 ft or more above ground, at openings, and at other dangerous locations. • When it is extremely difficult to install enclosures, guardrails, or covers, or when they must be removed to work in that location, install a safety net, wear harnesses, and take other measures to prevent falls. 7 Cb FOR SAFE 1NSTALLATION WORK _ FOR SAFE INSTALLATION WORK 7 Protect against falling objects. • When objects are thrown down from a height of 6 ft or more, appoint a surveillance person on the ground and warn others about falling objects. • Do not allow third parties to enter the work area during construction. • Arrange tools and materials neatly and secure them with ropes, or use bags or other measures to prevent falling objects. I ~ltTTh1;R M Wiring work should be performed according to the provisions of the National Electrical Code. Grounding work and wiring connections to the inverter should be performed by a qualified electrician. Adhere to all of the NEC. Pay special attention to A( icle 110, Chapter 2, Artide 250, Chapter 3, Artides 34 ) & 310, 480 & 690. The solar array generates electricity whenever it is exposed to sunlight. Be careful when handling it. There is a danger of shock if you touch the connectors or wires of the electric cables. 1 Points to check before wiring. The solar modules generate electricity when exposed to light. You will need to wear insulating gloves. You will need a multimeter for volts, amps, resistance and continuity capable of ineasuring DC and AC up to 600V and 40A. • Make sure your tools are insulated. 2 Wiring the solar modules. • Never step or sit on the glass surface of the solar modules. The glass may break. • When you install the solar modules on the mount, never allow an output cable to become caught between the mount and a module frame. • The solar modules generete electricity when exposed to sunlight, take care not to short circuit the output cables. The cables can become overheated and their cable sheaths can melt. 8 Other When there are electric power lines near the roof or eaves, request the power utility to take advance measures to prevent shock. Check the health of workers before starting work. Lift packaged modules by grasping both sides of the package. Do not lift by grasping the band, as the band can break. Never step or sit on the glass surface of a solar module. • Ensure the module connectors are fully inserted. There is a risk of malfunction if they are not pushed in all the way. • Support output cables so that there is no slack. High wi nds can blow slack cable against the mount, damaging the cables. 3 Wiring from solar arrays to the inverter (connector box). • Foliow the provisions of the National Electrical Code. Adhere to all of the NEC. Pay special attention to Article 110, Chapter 2, Article 250, Chapter 3, Articles 300 & 310,480 & 690. • For wiring through walls, protect the cables with metal conduits, flexible metal conduits, or other protection. Failure to do so can result in shock and short circuits. Always use conduit to protect sections of array output cables that are exposed to sunlight. For wiring outdoors, protect cables with PVC conduits, metal conduits or flexible conduits. • Prevent water from entering or building up in conduit by using waterproof fittings or duct seal. • To prevent shock, tape and label the cut ends of array output extension cables (the side opposite to the connector side) before connecting to solar module output cables. Further, tape them again after measuring the voltage of each array. • To prevent shock when you connect the array output cables to the inverter, remove the tape one cable at a time as you connect the cables. 8 0 FOR SAFE INSTALLATION WORK . 4 Measuring array output voltage • See the description of how to measure the output voltage for each array. Make sure that all solar modules are exposed to sunlight. (Remove lightproof sheets, if present.) Set the volt meter measurement renge to a DC voltage, greater than the expected measurement (for example 600 VDC). 5 Grounding the mount • To prevent shock, always connect a ground wire from the mounting hardware to earth. Use a minimum #10 AWG ground wire. Run a continuous bond wire to each module and rail in the array. Refer to section on grounding in this manual. • Follow NEC 690 grounding provisions. • Keep the plus solar array output cables away from the ends of the minus cables. Dangerous ares can occur. (The arrey output voltage under normal conditions (clear skies) can be very high.) Q POINTS TO CHECK WHEN SELECTING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION ~ Check the following items before starting installation work. ~ Refer to the inverter installation manual for more information about inverter installation and electrical work. INSPECTION OF ROOF STRUCTURE It is importa nt to inspect the structu ral integrity of the roof and the durability ofthe roof materials. The SRS mounting structure and solar modules require a strong base for durable and reliable operation in local environments. Always wear a safety harness when working on the roof. Inspect the roof surface in the area of the installation for cracks, water leakage, and roofing material quality and uniformity. This is especially important if the roof is older than 10 years. Inspect the roof for sags and other abnormalities. A sag or deep depression in the roof may indicate a structural weakness in the support system that may require correction. The following illustrations detail typical roof construction as well as old roof problems. INSPECTION OF THE ROOF SUPPORT SYSTEM This may require access to the attic. Check that all rafters, trusses and other materials are in good condition. Check for indication of previous water leaks. Measure the spacing of the rafters or trusses to confirm the dimensions and prepare for the system layout. Determine the location of the electrical roof penetration and wire run, if wiring is planned for this area. POINTS TO CHECK WHEN SELECTING THE INSTALLATIUN LC?CATION EXAMPLES OF POOR ROOF CONDITION Damaged shingles Broken shinales and 10 Q POINTS TQ CHECK WHEN SELECTING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION CODE COMPLIANT INSTALLATION 1. Determine the wind loads for the installation site. Check with your local building and safety department for the specific requirements. 2. Make certain that the roof structure can support the live and dead loads resulting from the installation of the PV array. 3. Consult with a professional engineer if additional assistance is required. 4. Determine the basic wind speed from the IBC wind speed chart (for US locations). 5. Determine the exposure category A through D(get latest definitions from IBC or local building code). 6. Determine total pressure by compiling basic wind speed, exposure and roof height. Check with Sharp technical support if your total pressure exceeds 45 PSF. 7. Reference the chart wind speeds to determine your design wind pressure (PSF). Determine exposure categories A through D for various roof heights. 8. Based on the loading in step 7, makes certain that the roof structure can support the load. 9. The modules and system are UL listed to standard 1703. The UL 1703 test is performed at 1.5 times the design load of 30 Ibs per square foot, or 45 Ibs per square foot.The system has been load tested by Sharp to 50 PSF use in locations subject to higher values. Building departments often require a design safety factor of 1.5 or greater for structures. The maximum structural loading listed in this guide, does not include an added safetyfactor. 10. To achieve maximum loading, use at least the same number of sliders as modules on each rail.

Install solar modules facing south, if possible. Installations facing east and west are also possible, although the amount of power genereted will be lower. Chxk the roof from a southern orientation, and check for obstacles that will cast a shadow. These factors will lower the amount of power generated. Explain this to the users and obtain their consent. 2. Install in a location that has good sun exposure throughout the year. Less power is generated in shaded locations. 3. Check the following before installation. 3.1 Solar modules should not be installed within 12" from the ridge or edges of the roof, nor within 16" from the eave. 3.2 Installation is not possible in regions where the wind pressure exceeds 45 PSF. Check with your local building department to determine ifthis mounting system is in compliance.lnstallation is not possible when the roof angle is less that 10 degrees or greater than 45 degrees. 33 Installation is not possible in the peripheral shaded area of the following figure. 3.4 Do not locate systems near coastal locations or other salt water locations or CS locations as classified by ISO. Minimum distance is 03 miles from the body of water. Do not locate in a corrosion prone area. ARRAY LAYOUT The array must be installed at least 16" away from the eave of the roof and 12" from the sides of the roof. This border will enhance the wind load resistance of the system.

The solar modules generate electricity when exposed to sunlight, so be careful not to short circuit the output cables. The cables can become overheated and their cable sheaths can melt. Stop working when the surface of the roof is wet. There is a danger of slipping, falling, and shock. Never step or sit on the glass surface of the solar modules. The glass may break. Do not twist the solar modules when you mount them (twisting should not exceed 0.1" per 4"). Failures and damage can result. When you mount the solar modules on the rail, never allow an output cable to become caught between the rail and a module frame. Short circuits and fire can result. When you unpack the system, check the model names of the components of each system and check to be sure that you have the correct number of parts. Before starting installation work, make sure you have the following materials and tools on hand (including materials and tools for electrical work). Ground wire I Ground rod I Electrical ( Flexible I Cable ties I Pencil tape metal conduit (to protect electric cables) 19 POINTS TO CHECK BEFORE INSTALLATION WORK 20 O INSTALLATION WORK 1.

It is ideal for use in new construction, re- roof, and in locations with significant precipitation. The flashings are installed belowthe standard sliderassembly. Each flashing is similar in size to the slider assembly. The flashing has a large flange around iYs perimeter to allow for integration with the surrounding shingles. There are 3 alignment marks on the flashing and identification for the orientation of the part. 1. Confirmthe locationsof each standard sliderassembly. Follow the same rules for installation as the slider foot. The flashings located on the bottom rail (close to the eave), should be aligned with the chalk lines created in the roof layout. Flashings used to support the center rails, should be centered on the rail line. The flashings located at the top rail (close to the ridge), should have minimal exposure beyond the rail. 3. Invert the flashing, peel off the protective backing paper and apply a bead of roofing silicone along the top and sides in the flange area. Leave the bottom flange clear for water drainage. Make sure that the shingles are at room temperature, -68°F. When shingles are cold, they become brittle and are difficult to work with.

Each adjustable slider is equipped with pre-installed butyl sealant pads. A protective cover must be removed prior to installation on the roof. A hole is located at the center point of the slider. It can be used as the site window for locating the slider on the previously snapped chalk line. There are 2 arrows located at one end of the slider. The arrows should be pointing towards the eave of the roof. The arrows indicate the location of indents on the slider that prevent the standard slider bottom bracket from falling out. Place the slider assembly in the measured location and install the self-drilling screws at the upper and lower locations. IlVN-'U11UV7 The arrow on the standard slider assembly should point to the eave. 3. Install four 80 mm self-drilling screws (using S mm socket) to achieve the appropriate pullout strength for the site location. Be certain to apply silicone sealant to the hole prior to installation of the screws. Butyl rubber is used as filler in the concrete joints of dams. As shown at right, it twists around the mounting screw and seals the hole in the roofing felt and sheathing. 2. Remove any debris, and press the slider assembly into place.

This clip, referred to as the "talon clip", has sharp barbs that pierce through the anodized coating on the module frame to make contact with the aluminum. The talon clip is bolted to the steel rails, part# AA801 - AA805, which are each then bonded in series to each other and to the grounding electrode as shown in the installation guide above. This method takes the place of the traditional grounding lug typically placed on each module and the grounding conductor run under each module by utilizing the talon clips and rails as grounding conductors. Below is a picture illustrating the barbs on the talon clip that bite into the module frame. In the case that modules must be removed after the installation is complete, it is important to note that individual modules cannot be removed without first being disconnected from the power circuit. Modules on the upper most row must be removed before the lower modules can be removed. This is because of the design of the SRS utilizing hidden fasteners. To ensure that the grounding conductor is the last to break, after turning off the DC disconnect, the module's power conductors should be disconnected before the talon clip is removed. This is a simple and safe way to disconnect the modules if the wire management methods detailed in the installation guide on page 37 are utilized. In the event of SHARP Electronics Corporation Solar Energy Solutions Group 9501 Bolsa Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA 92647 SHARP Technical Bulletin a ground fault, the module should also be de-energized before the talon clip is removed. It is also recommended to de-energize the entire array as detailed on page 6 of the installation guide, using an opaque cover to reduce the risk of shock. Listed modules and SRS oarts for Intearated aroundina. Currently only the Sharp Models ND-187U1, ND-187U2, ND-187U1F, ND-181U1 and ND-181 U2 are listed for integrated grounding. A copy of the UL certification document is included on the last page of this document. It can also be downloaded from the UL website at www.ul.com following the certifications directory link. In the future more modules will be Listed for integrated grounding. These will include most of the ND series models. Sharp is currently involved in the listing process with UL for these modules and will send out announcements as soon as the process is complete. Arrays built with modules other than those shown on the certification document covered under "Photovoltaic Modules with Framing system" should be grounded by traditional means. To conform to the UL listing these modules must be used with the SRS listed parts in order to utilize integrated grounding. SRS listed parts will be shipped with rails that have UL labels as shown in the picture below. SRS parts shipped prior to the production of the listed parts are not considered listed. These parts would have been shipped with rails that do not have the UL label. Arrays built with SRS parts shipped with rails that do not bear the UL label can not utilize integrated grounding. Traditional grounding methods should be used for arrays built with these parts. SHARP Electronics Corporation Solar Energy Solutions Group 9501 Bolsa Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA 92647 SHARP Technical Bulletin Labelinq previous existinq inventorv Sharp maintains strict control over the manufacturing of the UL listed parts to ensure the material and production quality is maintained to both Sharp internal and UL standards. Parts that do not meet these criteria can not bear the UL label and can not be used. While all SRS parts produced in the past and just prior to the listed parts have been built to these same standards, SRS parts that were sold without the UL labeled rails are not considered listed parts by UL, and can not be labeled as such. This means that current, unlisted inventory held by our customers can not be labeled for integrated grounding, and must be installed using traditional grounding means. UL standard 1703 review UL Standard for Safety for Flat-Plate Photovoltaic Modules and Panels, UL 1703 was standard originally developed for modules. Since the SRS is dependant on the module frame, the SRS becomes an integral part of the array assembly, and the module becomes part of the SRS assembly. Because of this unique design, the module and SRS can be considered one "system". We have worked closely with UL to include this in the scope of UL 1703 and this "system" is what is listed for integrated grounding. This is one reason why it is important to realize that each module and dependant SRS part must be listed for this "system" as detailed in the previous sections of this bulletin. UL testinp review In order to list this new type of system under UL 1703 and utilize integrated grounding methods, many rigorous testing and evaluation procedures were performed to ensure the product would meet UL standards to be safe and reliable. Below is an excerpt from the listing report detailing the tests that were performed on both the SRS parts and modules.

Deflection may cause cosmetic cracking in the ceiling, but should not affect structural integrity of the roof system. Panels will be connected to the trusses using 80 mm long M5.5 hex head screws with an approximate diameter of 0.19 inch. There will be four screws per base member. pullout resistance for each screw is 340 lb with a 2.5 inch embedment. Total non factored uplift on the 48 module array with a 110 mph wind speed and a C exposure will be 55,100 lb with a 50 psf uplift. The proposed fastening system will provide 77,520 lb of resistance on the 48 panel array. The existing roof system is capable of supporting the proposed PV array and the proposed fastening system is adequate to resist uplift from wind forces.
