As you are likely aware, PV Squared is a worker-owned-cooperative B-Corp, employing 40+ people in Greenfield. We have installed thousands of PV Systems out of our Greenfield,MA Headquarters since 2002. PV Squared is committed to complying with all Commonwealth laws and regulations.Our worksite guidelines are created with the intention of exceeding all safety,electrical,and building requirements as defined by their respective jurisdictional entities. This includes the work of people from multiple disciplines,including electrical engineering, structural engineering,civil engineering,electricians, construction supervisors, roofers,and their associated helpers. We are a company that values training and education. We make certain that every individual is qualified for the roles and responsibilities that they assume.

You are proposing to erect PV panels on one side of the roof.The house is a two-story wood framed residence with an unfinished attic.The house measures approximately 24x38.The roof has a 30-degree pitch.The roof is supported by rough sawn rafters measuring approximately 176"xS%".These rafters are spaced approximately 24"O.C.These rafters span approximately 12' on the horizontal.The roof has solid board sheathing and asphalt shingles. NECE's review and analysis included controlling gravity load combination(dead load and snow load). In examining snow loads, both balanced,and unbalanced snow load conditions were considered. Lateral loads(wind and seismic)are excluded from this review. Recommendations: The existing roof rafters are slightly undersized for today's design loads. In order to remedy this, I recommend installing 2x6 rafter ties,approximately 1'-3" below the peak,on each rafter pair. Details for this installation, including fastening requirements,are provided on the attached Rafter Tie Reinforcing Sketch. New England Construction Engineering, PLC PV Squared—Budd Residence Jonathan Rugg, P.E. Northampton, MA Page 2 of 2 Conclusion: Based on the information that you provided, in my opinion, once 2x6 rafter ties are installed on each rafter pair,as discussed above and as shown on the attached Rafter Tie Reinforcement Sketch,the roof will support your proposed PV array. I base this opinion on the following assumptions. I assume that PV panels will be installed parallel to the roof,eliminating any additional wind load. I assume that,owing to their smooth surface,the PV panels will shed snow more readily than the existing asphalt shingles.The ground snow load (Pg)for Northampton is 40psf. According to the information that you have provided,the proposed PV panels weigh approximately 2.3 PA.. In summary, in my opinion,when rafter ties are installed on each rafter pair,as shown on the attached Rafter Tie Reinforcing Sketch, the roof will support your proposed 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. i��te or Wf�+o Sincerely, o= 4 s^ � � onathan Rugg, P.

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 leamer 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 If 9 Installation Crew Operating Policy Pioneer Valley PhotoVoltaics Cooperative POLICY DOCUMENT N9 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 Eauipment 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).
