(PV Squared) provided on the roof supporting structure of the Halperin residence, at 45 Olander Drive, 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 mount PV panels on the roof of the house and an attached two bay garage. The house is two stories with a gable roof.The garage is one story. The garage roof is a shed roof off the house upper gable roof. You intend to mount PV panels on both sides of the gable roof and on the garage shed roof.The area of the gable roof measures approximately 25'x26'. The gable roof pitch is 40-degrees; and the roof is supported by 2x10 rafters at 16" O.C.These rafters span approximately 14' on the horizontal. The outward end reaction of the rafters on the walls is resisted by the second-floor joists.The second floor in this area is unfinished and you were able to observe and photograph the framing. The garage shed roof continues from the steeper gable roof above.The shed roof has a 24- degree pitch.The shed roof is framed with 2x10 rafters at 16" O.C.These rafters span approximately 15' on the horizontal. The garage ceiling joists resist the outward end reaction of the rafters on the walls. Both the house and garage roofs have structural wood panel decks and asphalt shingles. NECE's analysis considered controlling gravity loads (dead load and snow load). Lateral loads (wind and seismic) are excluded from this review.Analysis for snow load included sliding snow surcharge from the steeper upper gable roof to the lower garage shed roof. New England Construction Engineering, PLC PV Squared-Halperin Residence Jonathan Rugg, P.E. Northampton, MA Page 2 of 2 Conclusion: Based on the information that you provided, I conclude that the roof will support both the design snow load, and the additional dead load of your proposed PV Array. I base this opinion on the following assumptions. I assume that, owing to their smooth surface, the PV panels will shed snow more readily than the existing asphalt shingles. I further assume that that the 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 provided, the proposed PV panels weigh approximately 2.3psf. In summary, based on the information that you provided, and subject assumptions discussed above, in my opinion, the roof will support the proposed array. Thank you for the opportunity to assist with this project. If we can be of further assistance, please contact Jonathan Rugg at NECE. tH OF WASsgc� Sincerely, o= yc JONATHAN A o RUGG No. 51982 H onathan 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.143 553 through S560 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 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).

B(Greenfield,MA 01301 qT . sMA Elec. Lic.A13764 SMA HIC 140077 Dear Town Inspections Officials, Please see our enclosed applications to permit a Solar Photovoltaic System in your jurisdiction. 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. It is our policy to pay for the employees travel and training time and cost of the education, including CSL and Journeyman and Master Electrician classes. As an electrical contractor we are furthermore guided by the January 30, 2009 Massachusetts Board of State Examiners of Electricians (BSEE)judgements, and rulings that have followed. We pay strict adherence to these mandates and all electrical work is conducted by an electrician and an electrician's apprentice in a 1:1 ratio. We also understand that non-electrical tasks associated with a Solar installation can be completed by non-electrical workers, such as CSLs and others. I have attached our installation policy for your review, as well as a list of example non-electrical tasks. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy or delineation of work, please let us know. We are a learning organization that is always trying to improve on what we do. Respectfully, Adam Thurrell Operations Manager
