Our standard"B-Tap"are rated for 4/0 wire.If an existing service conductor has tape on the exterior,remove the tape before installing the"B-Tap". 10)Terminate wiring at the fused disconnect switch or the main buss in the new main circuit breaker enclosure. 11)Neutral WILL be BONDED In this enclosure. 12)Locate best location to install the B-Taps and complete the taps in the main service panel.Check and dress all wiring in this panel. > m 13)Test power on the LINE SIDE of the main breaker installed in the new main circuit breaker enclosure.If all is good,move on,if not troubleshoot the taps. 14)Install the lock out tag out kit 15)Take photos of connections and taps and close up the main service panel. Conduit Runs: 1)All conduit runs shall be sized appropriately for the conductors being installed.The lead electrician is responsible for verifying that the correct conduit size,and type is being installed. 2)Greenfield(flexible metal conduit,FMC)shall be Aluminum,ONLY.Size shall be as designed. 3)Greenfield,PVC,and EMT shall be installed in a neat and workmanlike manner. a.Following building lines b.Square with the building c.Straight and level z o d.Supported as per the NEC "-' o 0 a e.Penetrations shall be sealed,inside and out.

WIRING 9)The number of conductors/circuits installed in each conduit is listed on the design.This number MUST be adhered to.Conduit fill and de-rating calculations have been done in the design and MUST be followed.If it is DESCRIPTION necessary to change the conductors in a conduit,check with the designer or your manager. 10)Once all conductors have been installed in a conduit,the conduit opening MUST be sealed to prevent air exchange between cold and warm atmospheres that can cause moisture buildup and damage to the interior of the property.Ductseal compound is to be used for this.

From a field inspection of the property,the existing roof support structures were observed by Direct Energy Solar auditors as follows: The roof structure of(Roof Al-East)consists of composition shingle on roof plywood that is supported by nominal 2x6 rafters @ 16"o.c., paired with nominal 2x8 ceiling joists @ 16"o.c..There are 2x6 collar ties at every rafter which frame out an enclosed attic.The rafters are supported ar the mid-span by veritcal struts which work with collar ties and ceiling joists to provide a truss system to support the rafters above.The rafters have a max projected horizontal span of 7'-0",with a slope of 40 degrees.The rafters are connected at the ridge to a continuous 2x8 ridge board and are supported at the eave by a load bearing wall. The roof structure of(Roof A2-West)consists of composition shingle on roof plywood that is supported by nominal 2x6 rafters @ 16"o.c., paired with nominal 2x8 ceiling joists @ 16"o.c..There are 2x6 collar ties at every rafter which frame out an enclosed attic.The rafters are supported 4'-6"from the eave by veritcal struts which work with collar ties and ceiling joists to provide a truss system to support the rafters above.The rafters have a max projected horizontal span of 8'-6",with a slope of 40 degrees. The rafters are connected at the ridge to a continuous 2x8 ridge board and are supported at the eave by a load bearing wall. The existing roof framing system of(Roof Al-East)is judged to be adequate to withstand the loading imposed by the installation of the solar panels. No reinforcement is necessary. The existing roof framing system of(Roof A2-West) is judged to be adequate to withstand the loading imposed by the installation of the solar panels. No reinforcement is necessary. The spacing of the solar standoffs should be kept at 48"o.c.with a staggered pattern to ensure proper distribution of loads. I further certify that all applicable loads required by the codes and design criteria listed below were applied to the Unirac Solarmount solar rail system and analyzed. Furthermore,the installation crews have been thoroughly trained to install the solar panels based on the specific roof installation instructions developed by Unirac Solarmount for the racking system and Ecofasten for the roof connections. Finally, I accept the certifications indicated by the solar panel manufacturer for the ability of the panels to withstand high wind and snow loads.
