(PV Squared), provided on the roof and supporting structure of the Schnieder residence, at 220 Prospect Street, in Northampton, MA.The purpose of this review was to provide an opinion as to the structure's ability to support a proposed rooftop mounted photovoltaic(PV)array.The information that you provided is attached to this letter for reference. You are proposing to erect solar panels on the south facing side of the house. The house is a two-story wood-framed colonial with a gable roof.The house measures approximately 26'x28'. Based on the age and configuration I assume that the house is balloon framed.The roof has a 35-degree pitch.The roof is supported by full sawn 2x6 rafters at 20" O.C.These rafters span approximately 14' on the horizonal.Second floor ceiling joists are attached to the rafters approximately 2' above the top of wall.The roof has solid board sheathing overlain with plywood and asphalt shingles. Photographs suggest that the peak of the roof has deflected slightly downward in the middle of the roof.This may be a result of rafter deflection,walls deflecting outward,or both and is typical for this type of balloon frame construction. Analysis included controlling gravity load combinations(snow and dead load). Lateral loads (wind and seismic) are excluded from this report. Calculating sloped roof snow load (Ps) has shown that the additional dead load of the PV array is more than offset by a reduction of sloped roof snow load,as the smooth surface of the PV panels will shed snow more readily than the granular surface of the asphalt shingles. New England Construction Engineering, PLC PV Squared—Schnieder Residence Jonathan Rugg, P.E. Northampton, MA Page 2 of 2 Recommendations: The existing rafters are mildly overstress under design snow load conditions.To remedy this, I recommend installing 2x6 collar ties approximately 18" below the peak to reduce the rafter bending stress. Details for this installation, including fastening requirements are provided in the attached Collar Tie Installation Detail.The installation of these collar ties is intended to reduce the bending stresses in the rafter;they will not correct the existing deflected shape of the roof where the peak is lower in the middle than the gable ends. Conclusion: Based on the information that you provided, I conclude that, once collar ties are installed as discussed above, and as shown in the attached Collar Tie Installation Detail, the roof will adequately support the dead load(including additional weight of PV array)and design snow load. I base this opinion on the assumption already discussed and the following. I assume that PV panels will be installed parallel to the roof,eliminating any additional wind load.The ground snow load(Pg)for Northampton is 40 psf.According to information that you have provided,the proposed PV panels weigh approximately 2.6 psf. In summary, in my opinion,and predicated on the assumptions and analysis described above, once the collar ties are installed as shown on the attached Collar re Installation Detail,the roof will adequately support your proposed roof mounted PV array. Thank you for the opportunity to assist with this project. If we can be of further assistance, please contact Jonathan Rugg at NECE. Sincerely, ZNOFIG�'c Q JONATHAN A tl1II -y Jonathan Rugg, P.E.

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 SS3 through SS60 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 Servicinp, 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 properly 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).
