Re: Letter Certifying Solar Panel Roof Loading at the 3800 Duck Pond Road, Cutchogue, NY 11935 RETAIN STORM WATER RUNOFF Dear Mr. Fish: PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 236 OF THE TOWN CODE. MJM Engineering, PLLC (MJM) was retained to provide a certification of the dead Icad and wind loading on the roof structures of the Santorini properties which is located at 3800 Duck Pond Road, Cutchogue, NY, designed as an educational site for the New York City Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 3. The solar panels will be located as noted on the alteration plans and filed under Building Department Permit #34118. We reviewed the existing roof structures which were framed conventionally with a 2"x $" dimensional lumber roof rafters and 2"x 4" wooden manufactured roof trusses. The total loading of the solar panels is less than 3 lbs. per square foot. The installation is made to have the panels mounted almost flush to the roof. The dead Icad increase is insignificant on the structure and the wind Icad is minimized due to the position on the roof. The fasteners prohibit lift which will cause failure of the roof. I have verified the adequacy and structural integrity of the existing roof rafters for mounting of solar collector panels models and their installation will satisfy the structural roof framing design-loading requirements of the New York State Commercial Code 2007 (based upon IRC 2007). For the installation of the solar mounting, the mounting rails will be anchored to the rafters with sharp panel supports securely fastened to the rafters with lag screws that have been designed for wind speed criteria of 120 mph Exposure C and snow ground criteria of 20 psf. Wind loads will exceed seismic loads. Other climate and geological design criteria are not applicable to this solar installation. (see Sharp Catalogue) for anchoring details. -1- The solar collection system (Model #USSS443, USSZ443 & USSSZ970) and the mounting assemblies will comply with all codes of New York State and Town codes as required and conditions of the solar mounting assembly onto the existing structure.

DEPI'. TOWN OF SOUTHOL§ I Dear Mr. Paolini: On Monday, May 24, 2010, MJM Engineering, PLLC (MJM) visited the subject location to inspect the structural installation of solar panels installed on multiple pitched roofs using the Sharp Solar Racking System. The installation was found to be acceptable. The electrical inverter boxes were properly installed and supported in the electrical room. In addition, a copy of the NY Board of Fire Underwriter's Certificate for the solar power installed was provided. Roof inspections revealed that the anchors were installed without cracking the rafters. The waterproof roof connection were used and appeared to be properly installed. The roof structure adequately supports the solar panels.

Product Description The SRS mounting structure is designed to be used on residential rooftops. The stmeture is attached to the rooftop and the photovoltaic modules are then attached to the structure. The version tested is designed to be used with various types of roofing materials. These include Spanish concrete tile, flat concrete tile, clay concrete tile, end asphalt shingles. The attached drawings from the installation manual illustrate the installation process. The SKS mounting structure is constructed from roll-formed and pressed sheet metal parts and stainless steel fasteners. The sheet metal parts 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 18TU1 modules arranged in two 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 roof top. 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 3.15" 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 tile standoffand slider were place 4 inches to the fight of the centerline 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 from 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. After 30 minutes, the array was unloaded and flipped 180 degrees so that the fi'ont surface of the modules was facing the 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 bott through the mount for pull up. Flashed Attachment #I- 15 " Attachment of flashed slider into a Douglas fir rafter through /32 OSB. Peak load occurred at 17541bf. However first peak was observed at -1450pl. 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- Attachment of tile attachment into aluminum plate and 15/32" OSB. First peak at ~5801bfwas 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 rafter 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. ~Fl_a_,s_ ,_1~_ ~t~,r- Atta. chme.nt.~o_f .fl.~hed slider into a Douglas fir rafter through 15/32" OSB. · -~mc loaa oeserve(l was 1o~3 let. 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 63.8i~, 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 63.8ft2, yielding a load of 50.4 PSF. After 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.

Solar modules are installed on rooftops wf ere 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 in iolves work in high places; take extreme precautions to ~void falling from roof. To prevent accidents, safety regulations must be observed. Always take the following pr'Lcautions to prevent accidents and injury. I Take the following precautions 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 be. fore using thenn. 2 When conditions make ~t necessary, t~ll workers to stop working. When it is raining, or there is a stron~probability that it will start raining. Immediately after rain, and when wc~rk areas are slippery. / When high wind conditions exist, or a~'e 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 scaffoldingiand ladders is not satisfactory. Wear appropriate work clothes and lprotective 3 equipment. I · Work clothes for both the upper and !lower body should fit well and allow you to move freely. Always wear protective equipmen 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 an~ ~tepladders to makes sure they are in good condi bn. 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 people 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 feet or more, use scaffolds or other equipment to ensure a stable work platform. Scaffolds should be designed and erected by a qualified person. When it is difficult to erect a stable work platform, install safety nets, wear harnesses, and take other measures to prevent falls. Regulations mandate the use of harnesses. Fasten harnesses securely, and check that the length of lifelines is 6 feet 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 enclosu res, guardrails, or covers at the end of work decks that are 10 feet 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 O 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 failing 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. 8 Other When theie are electric power lines near the roof or eaves, r~quest the power utility to take advance measures lo 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 lan break. Never stel~ or sit on the glass surface of a solar module. / 1.3 ~ 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 Chapter 1, Article 110; Chapter 2, Article 250,; Chapter 3, Articles 300 and 310; Chapter 4, Article 480 & Chapter 6, Article 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 measuring DC and AC up to 600 Volts and 40 Amps. 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 rail, never allow an output cable to become caught between the rail and a module flame. The solar modules generate 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.

TO preven: shock, tape and label the cut ends of array outr ut extension cables (the side opposite to the cor~nector side) before connecting to solar module OtrJtput cables. Further, tape them again after measuring the voltage of each array. To prever~t shock when you connect the array output cal~les to the inverter, remove the tape one cable at a~ime as you connect the cables. O 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 at,exposed to sunlight. (Remove lightproof sheets, ~f present.) Set the volt meter measurement range to a DC voltage, greater than the expected n~easurement (for example 600 W)c). / Keep the plus (+) solar array output ~.ables away from the ends of the minus (~) cables. Dangerous arcs can occur. (The array output v~ttage under normal conditions (clear skies) can b~ very high.) ! 5 Grounding the mount To prevent shock, always connect a ground wire from the SRS mounting system to earth. Use a minimum #10 ^WG ground wire. Follow NEC Chapter 6, Article 690 grounding provisions. POINTS TO CHECK WHIEN 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 important to inspect the structural integrity of the roof and the durability of the roof materi~ils. The SRS mounting system and solar modules require a~strong base for durable and reliable operation in local en~vironments. Always wear a safety harness when working ~n 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 Ioof is older than 10 years. Inspect the roof for sags and other abnorm~ ilities. A sag or deep depression in the roof may indicate structural weakness in the support system that nay require correction. The following illustrations detail :ypical 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. 9 O POINTS TO C~ECK WHEN SELECTING THE !N~STALLAT!ON LOCATION EXAMPLE ROOF CONSTRUCTION Asphalt shin Roofing-felt EXAMPLES OF POOR ROOF CONDITION Damaged -"shingles Broken shingles and sagging roof 10 POINTS TO CHECK WHEN SELECTING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION 2.2( CODE COMPLIANT INSTALLATION 1.

On the first solar module, connect the positive home run cable to the positive array output cable, and connect the negative cable to the positive cable of the second solar module. On the second solar module, connect the negative cable to the positive cable of the third solar module. Continue until you have series connected the appropriate number of modules for the desired voltage. 37 INSTALLATION WORK 4. When you have made direct connections between the specified number of solar modules, use a digital multimeter to measure the voltage and current output of the array. Do this for each string, and record the measurement results. This information is needed to check for solar module wiring mistakes, and it will also be needed by the electrician who makes the connections to the inverter. 5. Organize the cables between solar modules. Bundle the cables so that they do not touch the roof, and use optional cable clips (ADS06) to fasten them to the rear side of the module frame. Leaves and other debris can be caught around cables that are allowed to touch the roof, and over the years loose dirt can build up, potentially causing the roof to leak. Use the optional cable clips (AD806) to secure wire to the module frame. Push clips onto the module frame where needed. Push wire into clip to secure. Rail Clip 6.
