Based on information provided by the owner, a review of the manufacturer's installation manual and personal observation, it is my belief that the system was installed in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and properly secured into the existing roof structure (rafters) using the necessary lag bolts provided. Said installation specifications were based on a structural analysis by Gregory L. Riely, P.E. (copy attached) which concluded that the design of the installation system would withstand a wind uplift load of 50# per square foot. I trust this satisfies your concerns however, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office. Very truly yours, Garrett A.

Product Description The SRS mounting structure is designed to be used on residential rooftops. The structure is attached to the rooftop and the photovoltalc modules are then attached to the structure. The version tested is designed to be used with various types of roofing materials. These include Spanish eonerete tile, flat concrete tile, clay concrete tile, and asphalt shingles. The attached drawings from the installation manual illustrate the installation process. The SRS mounting structure is constructed from roll-formed and pressed sheet metal parts and stainless steel fasteners. The sheet metal pans are galvanized with a Super Dyma® coating, similar to Galvalume, containing Zinc, Aluminum and Magnesium for corrosion protection. Purpose: The purpose of the Static Load test is to observe that the mounting structure can withstand a static load of at least 50 PSF (pounds per square foot) in both the "downward" and "upward" directions as shown in the attached test diagrams. The "downward direction is used to indicate snow loads and impinging wind loads in a direction normal to the front surface of the solar module. The "upward" direction is used to indicate uplift caused by high wind speeds when airflow under the module produces pressures up to 50 PSF. Materials: A test structure consisting of 4x8 and 2x8 timbers as shown in the diagram was constructed to support the SRS mounting structure. The timbers were arranged for 48 inch on center spacing so that four ND 187U1 modules arranged in m,o rows and two columns could be mounted in a portrait fashion. 12 inch x 16 inch rectangles of 15/32 oriented strand board (OSB) were placed on the structural members to simulate the wood deck of a standard residential rooftop. The SRS mounting structure was then installed as shown in the attached installation manual. Six wood screws were used to attach the aluminum plate. The 3.157, wood screws were used to attach the plate to the structural member while the 1.4" wood screws were used to secure the plate to the wood deck. Once the aluminum plate was attached, the file standoff.and slider were place 4 inches to the right of the centefline of the structural member using the 5.3" stainless steel screws. The rest of the SRS components and modules were then installed in accordance with the installation manual. The talon clips module mountings were placed 8 inches fi.om the comer of each module. Procedure: 50 pound bags of construction sand were individually weighed to the nearest 1/10 pound and marked. A dial indicator with 2 inch range was placed on a block of wood under the test structure to measure the total deflection during the loading stage. The test structure was supported by cinder blocks as shown in the diagram. With the test array in the normal direction (modules facing the sky) sand bags were individually placed on top of the modules while the weight of each bag was recorded. The sand bags were evenly distributed so that the array was uniformly loaded to the best of our abilities. Once the total load was equivalent to 50 PSF no more sand bags were added and the structure was allowed to sit undisturbed for 30 minutes. During this time the deflection was recorded on the dial gage approximately every 2 minutes. At, er 30 minutes, the array was unloaded and flipped 180 degrees so that the front surface of the modules was facing tho ground. The test was then repeated in the same fashion placing sandbags on both the modules and the SRS rails. Pull Out Testing Pull out testing of individual mounting components was performed on the main attachment methods for the Sharp SRS system. The tile attachment and flashed attachments were tested to obtain pullout values for each. The pullOUt force was applied and measured. Failure was indicated when the peak load was observed. March 12, 2007- Preliminary testing was performed. Initial rig used a bolt through the mount for pull up. Hashed Attachment #1- Attachment of flashed slider into a Douglas fir rarer through 15/32' OSB. Peak load occurred at 17541bf. However first peak was observed at -1450pf. Deformation of the slider occurred due to point load from the pullout harness. Screws were not pulling fi~om the rafter at that time. Tile Attachment #1- Attachmem of tile attachment into aluminum plate and 15/32" OSB. First peak at -6801bfwas observed. This related to some deformation of the aluminum. Additional Peak at 7641bfwas seen. Then complete failure when screws pulled out of OSB. Screws attached to rarer were not withdrawn. March 19, 2007 - Improved rig spreads load onto mounting foot better. Tile Attach. #2- Attachment of tile attachment into aluminum plate and 15/32" OSB. Peak load observed at 851 lbf. Failure due to screws pulling out of OSB, deformation of the mounting plate was observed. Flash/Rafter- Attachment of flashed slider imo a Douglas fir rafter through 15/32" OSB. Peak load observed was 1693 lbf. Results: Per the above eked various test conditions, the tile roof attachment exhibited the least amount of pull out capability. In the downward direction 62 sandbags were used totaling 3,215 pounds. The total area of the array was 63.8ft:, yielding a load of 50.4 PSF. After 30 minutes the deflection was stabilized at 0.890 inches. The entire array remained intact and no signs of failure were observed. In the upward direction 62 sandbags were used totaling 3,213 pounds. The total area of the array was 63.8t~2, yielding a load of 50.4 PSF. After 30 minutes tho deflexion was stabilized at 0.950 inches. The entke array remained intact and no signs of failure were observed Conclusion: The SRS mounting structure with the file attachment method exhibited the least amount of pu!lout capability but was able to withstand a static load orS0 PSF in both the "downward" and "upward" directions for 30 minutes with no visible signs of failure or prolonged deformation. It is therefore concluded that all other tested attaclunent methods are capable ofwithatanding the industry wide acceptable limit of 50 PSF.

The test was then repeated in the same fashion placing sandbags on both the modules and the SRS rails. Pull Out Testing Pull out testing of individual mounting components was performed on the main attachment methods for the Sharp SRS system. The tile attachment and flashed attacbanants were tested to obtain pullout values for each. The pullout force was applied and measured. Failure was indicated when the peak load was observed. March 12, 2007- Preliminary testing was performed. Initial fig used a bolt through the mount for pull up. Flashed Attachment #1- Attachmem of flashed slider into a Douglas fir rafter through 15/32" OSB. Peak load occurred at 17541b£ However first peak was observed at -1450pf. Deformation of the slider occurred due to poim load from the pullout harness. Screws were not pulling from the rafter at that time. Tile Attachment #1- Attachment of tile attachment into aluminum plate and 15/32" OSB. First peak at ~6801bfwas observed. This related to some deformation oftbe aluminum. Additional Peak at 7641bfwas seen. Then complete failure when screws pulled out of OSB. Screws attached to ra~er were not withdrawn. March 19, 2007 - Improved rig spreads load onto mounting foot better. Tile Attach. #2- Attachment of tile attachment into aluminum plate and 15/32" OSB. Peak load observed at 851 lbf. Failure due to screws pulling out of OSB, deformation of the mounting plate was observed. Flash/Rafter- Attachment of flashed slider into a Douglas fir rafter through 15/32" OSB. Peak load observed was 1693 lbt Results: Per the above cited various test conditions, the tile roof attachment exhibited the least amount of pull out capability. In the downward direction 62 sandbags were used totaling 3,215 pounds. The total area of the array was 63.8fl2, yielding a load of 50.4 PSF. After 30 minutes the deflection was stabilized at 0.890 inches. The entire array remained intact and no signs of failure were observed. In the upward direction 62 sandbags were used totaling 3,213 pounds. The total area of the array was 63.8i~, yielding a load of 50.4 PSF. Afler 30 minutes the deflection was stabilized at 0.950 inches. The entire array remained intact and no signs of failure were observed. Conclusion: The SRS mounting structure with the tile attachment method exhibited the least amount of pullout capability but was able to withstand a static load of 50 PSF in both the "downward" and "upward" directions for 30 minutes with no visible signs of failure or prolonged deformation. It is therefore concluded that all other tested attachment methods are capable of withstanding the industry wide acceptable limit of 50 PSF.
