DEPT Southold, NY 11971 Subject: Engineer Statement for Solar Roof Installation Silberstein Residence —1496 Skunk Lane, Cutchogue, NY 11935 Permit No. 39374 I have verified the adequacy and structural integrity of the existing roof rafters for mounting the solar collector panels and their installation satisfies the structural roof framing design load requirements of the Residential Code of New York State. I have reviewed and certify that the manufacturer's guidelines and equipment for the photovoltaic equipment for the above residence meet the requirements for wind and snow load and that the roof structure is adequate to carry the new loads imposed by the System. For the installation of the solar mounting, the rails are securely anchored to the rafters utilizing 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 geo design criteria are not applicable to this solar installation. The solar collector system and the mounting assemblies comply with the applicable sections of the Residential Code of New York State- "Solar Systems" and loading requirements of roof -mounted collectors and the minimum requirements for buildings and structures of ASCE 7-05. This system has been generally observed to be installed properly at the above referenced residence. The installation is in accordance with the minimum requirements certified by this letter. I hope that this letter serves and meets with the approval of the Building Department. Sincerely, William G. Fisher, P.E.

Its transformerless design means high efficiency and reduced weight. Maximum power production is derived from wide input voltage and operating temperature ranges. Multiple MPP trackers and OptiTracTm Global Peak mitigate the effect of shade and allow for installation at challenging sites, The unique Secure Power Supply feature provides daytime power in the event of a grid outage. High performance, flexible design and innovative features make the Sunny Boy TL -US series the first choice among solar professionals. NGINEERED IBJ GERMANY ASSFM�IFD99 IN ME USA= A NEW GENERATION OF INNOVATION THE NEW SUNNY BOY TL - US RESIDENTIAL SERIES HAS YET AGAIN REDEFINED THE CATEGORY. Transformerless design The Sunny Boy 3000TL-US / 380OTL-US / 4000TL-US / 5000TL-US are transformerless inverters, which means owners and installers benefit from high efficiency and lower weight. A wide input voltage range also means the inverters will produce high amounts of power under a number of conditions. Additionally, transformerless inverters have been shown to be among the safest string inverters on the market. An industry first, the TL -US series has been tested to UL 1741 and UL1699B and is in compliance with the arc fault requirements of NEC 2011. Increased energy production OptiTraCm Global Peak, SMA's shade - tolerant MPP tracking algorithm, quickly adjusts to changes in solar irradiation, which mitigates the effects of shade and results in higher total power output. And, with two MPP trackers, the TL -US series can ably handle complex roofs with multiple orientations or string lengths. An extended operating temperature range of -40 °F to +140 °F ensures power is produced in all types of climates and for longer periods of time than with most traditional string inverters. Secure Power Supply One of many unique features of the TL -US residential series is its innovative Secure Power Supply ability. With most grid -tied inverters, when the grid goes down, so does the solar -powered home. SMA's solution provides daytime energy to a dedicated power outlet during prolonged grid outages, providing homeowners with access to power as long as the sun shines. Simple installation As a transformerless inverter, the TL -US residential series is lighter in weight than it's transformer -based counterparts, which makes lifting and transporting the new inverter easier than before. A new wall mounting plate features anti -theft security and makes hanging the inverter quick and easy. A simplified DC wiring concept allows the DC Disconnect to be used as a wire raceway, saving labor and materials. The new 3800TL-US model allows installers to maximize system size and energy production for customers with 100 A service panels. More efficient Broad temperature range Leading monitoring and control solutions The new TL -US residential line features more than high performance and a large graphic display. The monitoring and control options provide users with an outstanding degree of flexibility. Integrated Zigbee(O, a wireless communications standard often used for home energy management, and numerous wired options allows for a highly controllable inverter and one that can be monitored on Sunny Portal from anywhere on the planet via an Internet connection. Whether communicating through Zigbee@, RS485, or SMA's new wired, plug -and -play WebConnect, installers can find an optimal solution to their monitoring needs.

Modules are flush mounted in low, gap -free rows, and visible components match clear or dark module frames. 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. SunFrame Unirac Code -Compliant Installation Manual F U N I RAC Part I. Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load [1.1.] 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, SunFrame 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: 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. S. 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. 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: pnet (psf) _ AKztI pnet3o pner (psf) = Design Wind Load A= adjustment factor for height and exposure category Kzt = Topographic Factor at mean roof height, h (ft) I = Importance Factor pnet3o (psf) = net design wind pressure for Exposure B, at height =30,1=1 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 height for pitched 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. 6. If your installation does not conform to these requirements Roof Zone Setback Length = a (ft) please contact your local Unirac distributor, a local professional engineer or Unirac Roof Pitch (degrees) If your installation is outside the United States or does not Exposure Category meet all of these limitations, consult a local professional engineer or your local building authority. Consult ASCE 7-05 [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.

Procedure to Select Rail Span and Rail Type [2.1.] Using Standard Beam Calculations, Structural Engineering Methodology The procedure to determine the Unirac SunFrame 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 (Part II, Step 6). P (psf) = LOD + LOS1 (downforce case 1) P (psf) = 1.OD + 1.Opnet (downforce case 2) P (psf) = 1.OD + 0.7551 + 0.75pnet (downforce case 3) P (psf) = 0.6D-1.Opnet (uplift) D = Dead Load (psf) S = Snow Load (psf) pnet = Design Wind Load (psf) 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 7 of ASCE 7-05. The reduction is a function of the roof slope, Exposure Factor, Importance Factor and Thermal Factor. Please refer to Chapter 7 of ASCE 7-05 for more 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 verify that the building structure is strong enoul;h to suonort the point load forces. P- 12 Step 5: Determine the Downforce 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 (lbs), 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). R (lbs) = PLB R = Point Load (lbs) P = Total Design Load (psf) L = Rail Span (ft) B = Module Length Perpendicular to Rails (ft) It is the installer's responsibility to verify that the building structure is strong enough to support the maximum point loads calculated according to Step S.

Page 15 :F U N I AC Unirac Code -Compliant Installation Manual SunFrame Installing the array Safe, efficient SunFrame installation involves three principal tasks: A. Laying out the installation area and planning for material conservation. B. Installing footings and rails, beginning with the lowest row and moving up the roof. C. Placing modules and cap strips, beginning with the highest row and moving down the roof. The following illustrated steps describe the procedure in detail. Before beginning, please note these important considerations. Footings must be lagged into structural members. Never attach them to the decking Aalone, which leaves both the array and roof susceptible to severe damage. For array widths or lengths greater than 32 feet, contact Unirac concerning thermal expansion issues. Sample layout, illustrated in Figure 4 Assumptions: 12 modules (60'x 36'), arranged in 3 rows of 4 modules Array width = 144' (36' module width x 4 modules per row) Array length = 180' (60 module length x 3 rows) + 3' (lei, end rail width x 2'rails) + hh' (1!4' between -module rail width x 2 rails) =184V2' 1. Laying out the installation area Always install SunFrame rails perpendicular to rafters. (These instructions assume typical rafters that run from the gutter to the peak of the roof. If this is not the case, contact Unirac.) Rails are typically mounted horizontally (parallel to the lower edge of the roof), and must be mounted within 10 degrees of horizontal. Leave adequate room to move safely around the array during installation. During module installation, you will need to slide one module in each row about a foot beyond the end of the rails on one side. Using the number of rows and the number of modules per row in your installation, determine the size of your array area following Figure 6. P.8c 16 Array length k Array width 0i (module width times modules per row) Rails Figure 6. Installation area layout. Note: Module length is not neces- sarily measured from the edges of the frame. Some frames have lips. Others are assembled with pan -head screws. All such features must be included in module length. IRAC SunFrame Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual :: u N 2. Installing the lowest row of L -feet and rail In the lowest row, it is not necessary to use L -foot adjusting sliders, even if you plan to use them in subsequent rows. Install L -feet directly onto low profile roofing material such as asphalt shingles or sheet metal. (For high profile roofs, such as tile or shake, use optional standoffs with flashing to raise L -feet. L -feet must be flush with or above the highest point of the roof surface.) L -feet can be placed with the double -slotted side against the roof surface (as in Fig. 7) or with the single -slotted side against the roof (which increases air circulation beneath modules). Module -to -roof dimensions are listed on page 15 for both ar- rangements. Q• If you are using L foot adjusting sliders, you must use the short side of the the L foot against the roof in the first row. See Figure 9 below. If you are using both L foot adjusting sliders and standoffs, see the upper box on page 11. Install the first row of L -feet at the lower edge of the instal- lation area (Fig. 8). Ensure feet are aligned by using a chalk line. (A SunFrame rail can also be used as a straight edge.) Position the L -feet with respect to the lower edge of the roof as illustrated in Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7. Placement of first L foot row. Drill a pilot hole through roof into the center of the rafter at each L -foot lag screw hole location. Apply weatherproof sealant into the hole and onto shafts of the lag screws. Seal the underside of the L -feet with a suitable weatherproof sealant. Fasten the L -feet to the roof with the lag screws. If the double slotted sides of the L feet are against the roof, lag through the slot nearest the bend in the L foot (Figs. 7 and 8). :s- Roof peak S Figure 9.

Use the bases of the standoffs only in the lowest row. In subsequent rows, attach the shaft L - foot adjusting sliders of each standoff to the slider using the slider's 3/9 -inch hex - head bolt.

While short sections of rail are structurally permissible, they can usually be avoided by effective planning, which also pro- motes superior aesthetics. See "Material planning for rails and cap strips" (p. 13). The installer is solely responsible for ensuring that the roof and its structural members can support the array and its live loads. For rail lengths exceeding 48 feet, thermal expansion joints may be necessary. Please contact Unirac. 1. Footing spacing along the rail (A in illustration above) is determined by wind loading (see pp. 5-8, especially step 4). Foot spacing must never exceed 48 inches. 2. Overhang (B) must be no more than half the length of the maximum footing spacing (A). For example, if Span A is 32 inches, Overhang B should not exceed 16 inches. 3. Do not locate a splice in the center third of the span between two adjacent feet. 4. In a spliced length of rail, all end sections must be sup- ported by no less than two L -feet. 5. All interior rail sections must be supported by no less than one L -foot. 6. Interior rail sections supported by only one L -foot must be adjacent, on at least one side, to a rail section sup- ported by no less than two L -feet. 7. Rail sections longer than half the footing spacing re- quire no fewer than two L -feet. Modules should always be fully supported by rails. In other words, modules should never overhang rails. This is especially critical when supporting the short side of a non -rectangular module. When a rail supports apair of non- rectangular modules by themselves (right), it must be supported by at least two L feet. The rail should be at least 14 and no more than 24 inches long, which will likely require a stringer between rafters to ensure proper footings.

Installing the second rail With L -feet only (Fig. 12): Install and align the second rail in the same manner and orientation as the first rail. After rail alignment, tighten the rail mounting bolts to between 30 and 35 foot-pounds. Lay one module in place at one end of the rails, and snug the upper rail (Fig. 12) toward the lower rail, leaving no gap between the ends of the modules and either rail. (If pan -head screw heads represent the true end of the modules, be sure the screw heads touch the rails on both ends.) Tighten the lag screw on that end. Slide the module down the rails, snugging the rails and tightening the remaining lag screws as you go. With L -foot adjusting sliders: Install rails on first and second rows of L -feet. Verify spacing by placing a module onto the rails at several points along the row. Adjust L -foot positions as needed. 5. Installing remaining L -feet and rails Install the L -feet and the rails for the remaining rows, follow- ing Steps 3 and 4. You may use the same module to space all the rows.

Securing the first module Gather sufficient lengths of cap strip to cover the length of the first rail. For maximum visual appeal and material conservation see "Material planning for rails and cap strips" (p. 13). Slide the first module into final position at one end of the array. Lay the remaining modules in the top row, leaving a gap about a foot wide between the first and second modules (Fig. 13). The temporary gap allows the installer to place one of his feet between modules. He can access the section of the cap strip he needs to secure while leaning toward the peak of the roof. For the time being, the last module may overhang the rail by up to one third its width. Attach the end of the cap strip with the cap strip screws (Fig. 13, inset), so that the upper end of the first module is secure. Figure 13. Begin cap strip installation. The structural integrity of your array requires that cap strip screws fully engage the threaded rail. Use the cap strip screws supplied with your cap strips. Any substitute screws must be 1/4-20 Type F thread cutting (18-8 stainless steel) and the correct length. See Table 4 (pg. 15) to match screw length to the size cap strip in your installation. AEvery cap strip segment must have a cap strip screw 4 inches or less from each end. If the nearest predrilled hole falls more than 4 inches from any end, drill a 1/4 -inch hole 2 inches from the end and install an additional screw. Wherever it is necessary to make a new cap strip hole, drill a 1/4 -inch hole before installing the cap strip screw. 7. Installing the remaining modules in the top row Slide the next module into final position and install the screws to secure it (Fig. 14). For a neat installation, use cable ties to attach excess wiring to the rail beneath the flanges. Unirac's cable ties can be attached to the SunFrame rail by drilling a 1/4 -inch hole in the rail and pushing the end of the tie into the hole. Continue the process until all modules in the top row are in final place and secured from the top. When complete, every prepunched hole in the cap strip will be secured by a screw, and the top end of the first row of modules will be secure. 8. Installing the remaining modules row by row Repeat Steps 6 and 7 for the remaining rows (Fig. 15). Each subsequent cap strip will secure the tops to the modules being installed and the bottoms of the modules in the row above. Place the final cap strip in the lowest rail, securing the bottom of the lowest module row. Figure 14. Position and secure modules one by one. Figure 15. As modules slide into place, the stepping gap shifts, always allowing access to the section of cap strip being secured. P- 21 64'UNIRACUnirac Code -Compliant Installation Manual SunFrame 9.

The answer depends on the orientation of your L -feet and the length of your standoffs, if used. See the illustration ap- propriate to your installation. How can I seal the roof penetration required when standoffs are lagged below the roofing material? Many types and brands of flashing can be used with Sun - Frame. Unirac offers an Oatey® "No -Calk" flashings for its steel standoffs and Oatey® or Unirac flashings for its aluminum two-piece standoffs. See our SunFrame Pro -Pak Price List. How do I attach SunFrame to a standing -seam metal roof? A good solution comes from Metal Roof Innovations, Ltd. (MRI). They manufacture the S-5!— clamp, designed to at- tach a wide variety of products to most standing -seam metal roofs. It is an elegant solution that eliminates flashings and penetrations altogether.
