Introduction This report describes, illustrates, and explains the Structural Calculation Packet for SnapNrack's Series 100 Mounting System, dated 4/12/2012. The calculations have been performed in accordance with the 2012 International Building Code (IBC). The racking system has been designed to withstand code -prescribed forces due to its own weight, the weight of the solar panels, the snow loads, and both the wind and seismic forces. Rail Spans This report covers two different material options for the system rails- -oth uses Although a 6005 are both aluminum, one rail option uses a 6063 alloy (25 ksi yield) a nd the alloy (35 ksi yield). Despite having different yield strengths, both types of rails support the PV panels. As for the rails themselves, they are supported by mounting hardware which attaches them to the roof structure with spans that are expressed in inches. Refer to the tables below for rail spans under varying conditions of rail alloy and roof height. Shaded cells require an edge zone adjustment (see details following charts). Notes for Tables IA thru 2H 1. Determine the mean roof height, tilt angle, and rail alloy (if you are unsure, use the 6063 alloy values). For mean roof heights less than 30 feet, use Table IA/2A for tilt angles less than 19 degrees, Table 1B/2B for tilt angles between 20 and 36 degrees, Table 1C/2C for tilt angles between 37 and 45 degrees, and Table 1D/21) for tilt angles between 46 and 60 degrees. For mean roof heights between 31 and 60 feet use Table l WE for tilt angles less than 19 degrees, Table 1 F/2F for tilt .angles between 20 and 36 degrees, Table tilt angles and 60 degrees. 37 and 45 degrees, and Table 1 H/2H for tilt angles between 46 2. Determine. the wind and snow load for the project site from the building department. Make certain to e snoBw load down thBC wind loads.eleft columnstocate the winafnd d in the table across top rows and th corresponding maximum rail span. 3. For snow loads, column Pg equals the ground snow. 4. Shaded cells require application of an edge zone adjustment (details to follow).

Testing was conducted per the standards set forth by the IBC Section 1715; Preconstruction Load Test. The results of this testing procedure were used in comparison with the calculated values to establish the maximum uplift load allowed for the rails. Racldng Connections to the Existing Roof Contained within the calculation packet are calculations for the connection of the rails to the roof framing. Using the sizes provided by SnapNrack, we have calculated the maximum forces that will be resisted based on the withdrawal value of the lag screws, and the strength of the aluminum components which are involved in transferring these forces from the rail to the roof framing. These components consist of the -flashed L -foot (SnapNrack Drawing PEN -D01), Standoff (PEN -D02, D03), Seam Clamp (PEN -D04) Corrugated Block (PEN -D05), Metal Roof Base (PEN -D09, D10, D11, D12) and Hanger Bolt (PEN -D06). All (6) options are acceptable under the parameters shown in SnapNrack's plans. The results from our analysis have been integrated into the summary charts. The connection of the PV racking system to the roof will use a 5/16" diameter Lag Bolt installed with a minimum 2 %2" embedment into the framing member. Bolts shall be installed to a rafter or blocking capable of supporting both wind and seismic loads along with the weight of the PV system. When PEN -D07 is involved, use minimum quantity 2 %a-20 lag bolts with minimum 1.25" embedment. In addition, SnapNrack's Tile Roof Hooks (Drawing PEN -1313,1314) are also acceptable attachment components when the following limitations are followed: 1. file roof hooks have been reviewed up to 120 mph, Design Wind Speed 2. rail span is limited to 6 feet with file roof hooks NSSE 5022 Sunrise Boulevard Fair Oaks CA 95628 (916) 536-9585 Rev. 12/31/2013 Page.14 9 Series 100 Structural Report and Calculations Summary Charts and Topographic Factors nip... rack - S The attached pages of this summary contain some of the most common building configurations with varying wind speeds. These charts serve as quick references for looking up maximum rail spans based on the building and site conditions. However, it must be noted that for any building where a topographic factor is applied (e.g. hills, mesas, seashore), the rail span lengths, given might exceed what is allowed for the given site condition. In that case, a registered structural engineer shall evaluate the exact topographic conditions for the specific site. End Zone and Edge Distances The edge zones and/or end zones of the roof area shall be determined based on the building's least horizontal dimension (LDH). The edge zone, "a", is equal to 10%, of the LDH where 'a = .1 * LDH. It should be noted that if the solar panels installed cross two different roof sections, the smaller LDH shall be used. Rail spans in the corner zone shall be a maximum of 24 inches and this restriction will only apply to the rail attachments located in the end and edge zones (does not apply to modulus or rails that overhang into the zone). Furthermore, all edge zones requiring an adjustment (shaded cells in chart) shall be reduced by 24 inches to a minimum of 32 inches. ........nrtr WING Detail 1 roof end /edge and corner zones NSSE 5022 Sunrise Boulevard Fair Oaks CA 95628 (916) 536-9585 Rev. 12/31/2013 Page 15 3eries tvu nap - 4r cStructural Report and Calculations ' ` - - Site — Specific Analysis A site-specific analysis is required if the location of the solar panel installation corresponds to any of the following criteria: • The total pitch of the solar panel (solar panel pitch & roof pitch) is greater than 60 degrees above the horizontal. • A topographic factor applied to a location. Generally, topographic factors are applied when the structure is on a hill, mesa or blff u, or is adjacent to a large body of water. For complete descriptions of topographic factors, please refer to ASCE 7-10 section 26.8 • The mean roof height of the structure that the solar panels will be installed on is greater than 60 ft. above grade. • A combination of loads and/or site conditions applied that is not addressed in the attached rail span charts. If one or more of these factors corresponds to the project location, please contact NSSE, and we will analyze the site conditions and recommend standoff spacing for each specific site. Existing Building Limitations This summary letter addresses the structural adequacy of the solar racking system only and does not investigate or validate the adequacy of the structure the racking system is being placed upon. It does not address the ability of the existing roofing or roof framing to support the new loads imposed upon them by the new system, nor does it address the new localized forces between the roofing and the roof framing which might be imposed by the new standoff connections. It also does not address the additional lateral forces imposed upon the building due to the seismic and wind forces that the new system will add to the existing roof. These various building -specific issues need to be evaluated by the appropriate registered professional(s) prior to the addition of the photovoltaic and racking systems. NSSE may be consulted for building -specific structural evaluation. NSSE assumes the systems will be installed to the specifications presented here and the installer will use good structural judgment.

Failure of the RSD could interrupt DC power to the inverter. If the installer checks the DC input terminals at the inverter and does not detect PV voltage, the installer should follow the procedure below: a. Check DC string voltage at the inverter as a way to isolate the issue to the RSD or to the inverter. b. If the DC voltage can be measured at the DC input terminals.al the inverter, follow inverter troubleshooting instructions. c. If DC voltage cannot be measured at the DC input terminals at the inverter, Check the AC signal circuit connection point to confirm that AC power is available at these terminals. d. If there is AC power at the AC signal circuit connection point, check to see if the RSD LED is lit. This would indicate that the RSD has AC signal circuit power. Check for loose MC4 connections at the RSD DC inputs and outputs. e. If the RSD LED is off, check all AC and DC cable connections. f. After confirming the integrity of the DC cable connections and confirming that the RSD is receiving AC power, but the LED is still OFF, replace the RSD.

Any inverter that hopes to bear the certification mark of a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) and be sold in the United States must pass safety and protection tests as part of the UL test . standard. As part of the UL Test Standard, the Ginlong product line of single and three phase inverters are subjected to a battery of tests to ensure that the inverter conforms to the relevant test criteria. For example, all Ginlong inverters sold in North America must be an anti-islanding type. Inverters are tested for grid monitoring and unintentional islanding. The Ginlong NEMA 4 inverters must pass a rain and sprinkler test. The enclosure cannot exceed a certain temperature during normal operation and must be resistant to impact. Electrical tests are done to ensure that abnormal grid or DC circuit conditions are safely handled by the inverter. overload and short circuit tests are applied to both the AC and DC circuits. DC input and AC output ratings must be correct. The inverter is tested for harmonics and must respond to abnormal frequency conditions. For protection of system owners and. system technicians, all Ginlong inverters are tested for ground impedance and for safe response to ground faults. Ginlong inverters are designed to protect the installer and system owners during normal operation. And when the inverter detects abnormal conditions, Ginlong inverters employ additional safety features including; • Grid Monitoring • Ground Fault monitoring and protection • Anti-Islanding protection • Temperature protection • DC reverse -polarity protection • AC output overcurrent protection • Output overvoltage protection Other Ginlong inverter safety equipment includes an optional integrated AFCI (DC arc fault protection) and an integrated DC switch on the bottom of every inverter. For compliance to the NEC 690.12 rapid shutdown requirements, Ginlong offers a Rapid Shutdown Device (RSD) that can be installed at the PV array. 1 Ginlong Technologies (Ningbo) Co. Ltd.

The standard deals with PV powered electronic equipment safety issues (electric shock, fire and mechanical hazards), while also providing a certification basis for grid -interconnection for these products. Additionally, UL1741 addresses PV inverter performance issues and includes tests to ensure that inverter software meets the UL1998 standard (software controls many of the safety functions of the inverters such as GFDI and non -isolated, i.e. transformer -less inverter protection). While UL1741 addresses most authorities -having -jurisdiction (AHJ) and distributed generation (DG) concerns, there have been many PV innovations in the past 20 years and it has become apparent that expansion of these requirements via an international platform will better serve future testing and the certification needs of the PV industry. International,PV Inverter Safety Certifications UL 62109 brings U.S. inverter safety requirements in line with IEC 62109. Based on UL1741, the IEC expanded its safety requirements to keep up with cutting-edge technology changes in the inverter segment. It's being adopted around the world, and UL 62109 brings the U.S. into international compliance. It addresses PV ground fault protection, power quality, voltage and frequency control, array and system isolation, markings and documentation. UL 62109 ensures PV inverters and other PV electronics: • Are constructed per common international industry requirements • Can be installed in accordance with U.S. codes • Operated per industry -specific required ratings • Perform safely under rated, normal worst-case conditions • Perform safely under foreseeable abnormal operating conditions and failure modes. UL1741 and the ac Neutral The Ginlong USA Technical Service Group has thoroughly reviewed the UL 1741 Standard for mention of the ac neutral in single and multiphase utility interactive inverters. Special attention was focused on Sections 11 (Electric Shock), Section 14 (AC output connections), Section 16 (Supply Connections), Section 18 (Equipment grounding), and Section 19 (AC output circuit grounded conductor). Section 19 is particularly interesting with regard to the neutral; a. 19.2 states that "An inverter intended to be utility -interactive shall not have a direct/solid electrical connection between any output ac conductor and the enclosure" (Ginlong complies).

The ac output circuit conductor to be grounded shall be as follows; i. Single phase, 2 -wire — one conductor ii. Single phase, 3 -wire —the neutral conductor iii. Multiphase having one wire common to all phases —the common conductor iv. Multiphase in which one phase is use as in item (ii)—the neutral conductor Regarding the installation of the Ginlong Solis US PV String Inverter products, Ginlong offers the UL 1741 language in Section 19. The Ginlong Solis US PV String Inverter is a utility interactive single-phase inverter with a 2 -wire output (1-1, 1-2). One conductor is grounded. A neutral is not required. The Ginlong Solis US PV String Inverter is different than a single-phase inverter with 3 -wire output. This type of inverter would require a neutral to operate properly and ensure that operators were safe. The Ginlong US Technical Service Group also looked at sections of the UL 1741 Standard pertaining to; 1. Output power characteristics and utility compatibility (IEEE) a. All testing (dielectric withstand, output power characteristics, THD, abnormal tests, etc.) and compatibility simulations can be accomplished with L1 and L2 (and L3 in multiphase simulations). Ginlong passes all tests without an ac neutral output conductor. b. Performance v. Ginlong passes all tests without an ac neutral output conductor c. Ratings vi. Ginlong passes all UL 1741 ratings tests without an ac neutral output conductor d. Markings vii. Ginlong has all the proper markings per UL 1741 e. Manufacturing and Production Tests viii. Ginlong inverters can be tested and passes all tests without an ac neutral output conductor Additionally, UL1741.2 and UL 62109 require that PV inverters monitor the grid power quality, voltage and frequency so they can detect abnormal grid conditions and immediately disconnect (anti- islanding). If the inverter is designed so that voltage, frequency and ac current flow are monitored L1 to neutral and L2 to neutral (and then compared), then the UL1741 standard would require an installer to connect a solid neutral to the center tap of the distribution transformer (neutral bar in the premises service panel). If the inverter is designed so that a normal/abnormal grid is monitored using both magnitude and phase measurements of the 1-1/1-2 voltages, and via calculations, an equivalent neutral voltage is determined, then there is no UL 1741.2 / UL 62109 requirement for the installation of a neutral. That said, the . UL1741 standard requires that the inverter be installed per the National Electrical Code. Ginlong Technologies (Ningbo) Co. Ltd. j 2 Ginlong Solis USA: 565 Metro. PI. S.

They do not require an ac neutral to monitor ac power quality and/or control ac voltage and frequency. The Ginlong Solis US residential inverter product line has been certified to the UL1741 standard and passes all UL 1741 and UL62109 anti-islanding tests, electrical shock and fire hazard tests and performance tests under worst- case conditions. An ac neutral is not required for communication with Ginlong Solis US inverters. The Ginlong US residential inverter is a 240Vac device and only requires 240Vac to operate. The two "hot" conductors (and PE) are all that is required for the 240Vac Ginlong Solis USA residential inverter output circuit. The inverter has no 120vac equipment and does not oblige the installer to run a neutral from the inverter to the center tap (the derived neutral) on the distribution transformer. However, the installer can run a neutral if they feel comfortable doing so. Although no measurable differences in energy output will be recorded by a Ginlong Solis USA inverter owner where the inverter ac output has been routed to the POC with two "hots", a neutral and,a ground, Ginlong inverter designers recognize that by not installing a neutral, this will prevent minute, short -duration imbalances in phase switching times from leading to unwanted neutral currents in the output. Allowing the isolation transformer neutral to "float" prevents these disturbances from,causing . harmonic distortion in the host electrical system. , Ginlong Solis US Residential PV String Inverter Installation' Ginlong single phase residential inverters are compatible with the following common utility configurations in the United States • • • • . • • • • 1;;' CSA �C �.

This is very important because the ground wire (i.e. PE conductor) is required as; • a reference to PE (protective earth, Ground) • equipment shock hazard protection, • proper function of the AFCI equipment, • grid interconnection compatibility (ability to respond to abnormal grid, surge withstand performance, etc.), • anti-islanding functionality, and • protection of the inverter itself. It is assumed that the only place where the PE (Ground) and Neutral are connected is at the Main Bonding Jumper, normally located in the residential utility service panel. Looking at a variety of PV inverter manufacturers and common installation practices in the United States, we see many manufacturers no longer using a neutral at the ac output of their equipment. Many installers look for opportunities to avoid installation of a neutral conductor to save space in conduit, to save money on copper and to reduce the opportunity for harmonic disturbances in the host electrical system. For example, new Enphase ac cables do not include a neutral for connection at the residential breaker box. Chint and Solectria commercial inverters do not require a neutral for connecting to the grid at commercial sites. Ginlong inverters do not require a neutral for full compliance to the UL 1741-2 standards and they meet the highest safety standards and grid compatibility requirements, as set out in the latest harmonized standards.
