(PV Squared) provided on the roof and supporting structures of the Reiser residence at 36 Fairview Avenue in Northampton, MA.The purpose of this review was to provide an opinion as to the structure's ability to support proposed rooftop mounted photovoltaic(PV) arrays.The information that you provided, is attached to this letter for reference. You are proposing to erect PV panels on the south facing surface of house roof.The house is a two-story residence with gable roof with intersecting valleys. You have provided manufactured wood roof truss design output and drawings from a 2011 renovation of the house.These truss designs bear the seal of a Massachusetts Professional Engineer. I have reviewed this truss design. I assume that these trusses were properly installed as designed including all required lateral and diagonal bracing. My conclusions are predicated upon this assumption. The roof trusses were designed for a ground snow load (Pg) of 50 psf. Currently minimum design ground snow load for Northampton is 40 psf. The roof has a 5:12 (23-degree) pitch and asphalt shingles. Conclusion: Based on the information that you have provided, in my opinion,the roof will adequately support your proposed PV array. I base this opinion on the assumptions discussed above and the following additional assumptions. I assume that,owing to their smooth surface,the PV panels will shed snow more readily than the existing asphalt shingles. I also assume that the panels will be installed parallel to the roof, eliminating any additional wind load.The ground New England Construction Engineering, PLC PV Squared—Reiser Residence Jonathan Rugg, P.E. Northampton Page 2 of 2 snow load (Pg)for Northampton is 40 psf. Based on information that you have provided,the proposed PV panels weigh approximately 2.6 psf. In summary, in my opinion,the roof will support the proposed array. Thank you for the opportunity to assist with this project. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me at NECE. ��tH OF Sincerely, ,� WSx,o o Xo. 5I 51982 '^ Jonathan Rugg, RE. '2cmcK� New England Construction Engineering, PLC.

I:I 1/6/2012 SHEET I OF 1 Pioneer Valley Photovoltaics Cooperative POLICY DOCUMENT#9 Current version adopted by the Board of Directors on April 28, 2011 INSTALLATION CREW OPERATING POLICY This policy applies to all PV Squared employees in Massachusetts, but is particularly directed at those involved in the installation of solar electric and other renewable energy systems (licensed electrician, learner/apprentice electrician, licensed constructor supervisor, supervised carpenter and laborer). When engaged in this work as an employee of PV Squared on a PV Squared project site, activities of PV Squared employees are covered under the General Liability Insurance maintained by the Cooperative. It is the intent of this policy to provide clarity to installation situations where the applicable codes and regulations are unclear, ambiguous, or silent. It is possible that a municipal building or electrical inspector could interpret the codes and regulations in a manner that differs from what appears here. But this policy sets out, in writing, how the cooperative interprets legal work requirements and unclear details. It is an internal consensus working model, intended to be revised and improved from time to time. As a general matter, a city's or town's Building Commissioner is charged with enforcing the State Building Code, Plumbing and Gas Code, Electrical Code and Architectural Access Code. The commissioner addresses concerns about the safety, accessibility and security of construction of homes and businesses. The commissioner also enforces zoning bylaws. In accordance with Massachusetts General Law, employees of the cooperative who perform electrical tasks and activities must hold a Massachusetts journeymen's electrician license or be under the direct supervision of such licensed personnel. These tasks and activities include installing electrical wiring, conduits, apparatus, devices, fixtures or other appliances for carrying or using the electricity associated with Renewable Energy Generators (electrically active solar photovoltaic modules, wind turbine-generators, hydroelectric generators, etc.). In no circumstances shall the Massachusetts licensed journeymen have more than one learner or apprentice working with him/her or under his/her supervision. Mounting structures come in a variety of configurations and have differing functional and physical characteristics. A structural component or assembly becomes associated with electrical work as the Renewable Energy Generator is electrically bonded to the mounting structure. Unless otherwise noted in M.G.L. c.143 §§3 through §§60 inclusive, all structural work defined as follows shall not be required to be performed by a Massachusetts licensed journeymen electrician: • Structural improvements • Elements of a Renewable Energy Generator's support structure that fall under a building permit (e.g., assembly of top-of-pole mounting structure on steel pole with concrete foundation prior to execution of any required electrical bonding of the support structure and associated renewable energy generator (solar electric module) to the support structure Policy# 9 Installation Crew Operating Policy Pioneer Valley PhotoVoltaics Cooperative POLICY DOCUMENT #9 Current version adopted by the Board of Directors on April 28, 2011 • Roof-top mounting support structures including but not limited to posts, stand-offs, flashings, feet, and mounting rails • Operation of heavy equipment involved in moving, hoisting, digging and other tasks • Earth work, excavation and concrete work • Manual labor involved in moving loading and unloading of equipment • Moving, hoisting, and attaching an electrically bonded panel assembly (defined as one or more assembled and electrically bonded solar electric modules) to an existing structural support designed to host the panel assembly. Note however that construction of a panel assembly is an electrical task due to the required electrical bonding activities. Repair and Servicing of Installed Equipment Repair or replacement of an electrically bonded and/or energized renewable energy generator (e.g., installed solar electric panel) will be performed by a licensed electrician or properly supervised learner or apprentice working with the licensed electrician. Replacement of an installed inverter must be performed by a Licensed electrician or properly supervised learner or apprentice working with the licensed electrician, if the work requires removal of AC and/or DC conduit and associated wiring that originates outside of the installed inverter (e.g., removal of external AC conduit and wiring between the inverter and point of interconnection with the on-site electrical service). Note that this activity may require a wiring permit in some local jurisdictions. This requirement also applies to the servicing of an installed inverter that involves replacement or repair of components and wiring internal to the pre-manufacturer inverter (i.e., factory installed components that were originally shipped with the inverter) even though such activity may not require a wiring permit. Replacement of an installed inverter may also be performed by a qualified technician who may or may not be a licensed electrician or property supervised Learner or apprentice working with a licensed electrician if the inverter is of a "plug and play" design. Such a qualified technician can also performed other tasks that include installation and servicing inverter-based performance monitoring systems (e.g., replacing internal communication cards, making "plug and play" ethernet connections, etc.), assuming these activities do not require creation of a new AC power source circuit to operate the communication system(s). Policy # 9 Installation Crew Operating Policy Non Electrical Work at a typical PV Squared installation: • All Material Handling tasks o Module prep and moving o Ladder lift set up o Ladder set up o Trash/recycling removal and sorting • Structural Improvements I All carpentry work • Roof Mount Array o Fall protection anchor setup and removal o Layout and mounting bases o Racking up to but not including"bonding/grounding related activities" o Leveling of racking o Sealing seams/patching roofing/additional flashing • Ground mount array o Site work,earth moving o Trenching/digging o Construction of racking up to but not including "bonding/grounding related activities" • Conduit run I Making holes in structure o Fire blocking,sealing penetrations o Stickers • Power Board o Build wall,hang plywood o Stickers • Interconnection o Stickers • Monitoring o Will options o Any"plug and play'devices o Programming of monitoring devices o Computer based activities • Installation completion o Final building inspections o Install pictures-See checklist o Update one line and roof drawings to reflectas built o Completion checklist o Notes for others o COC left onsite • Misc o Truck Organizing o Material List,ordering o Daily check-in o Customer interaction and training activities
