BY Subject: Review of minimum footing requirements Project: (26) Module Photovoltaic.Ground mount Installation.(1 Array) Shandel 4833 Oak Grove Lane; Forest Ranch, CA 95942 V&A Project No. 12-3457 _. The purpose of this report. is to provide a site specific analysis of the minimum footing requirements for the photovoltaic array groundtrac installation at 4833 Oak Grove Lane. ' in Forest Ranch, CA 95942. Based upon our review of the 1.Photovoltaic Array, Installed 3 modules high and.9: . modules wide. The PV Array shall have a transverse spacing of approximately 7.00 feet on center and a longitudinal spacing of 6.00 feet maximum. Based upon a wind speed of 100 mph, Exposure C, it was determined that the minimum required footing depth is 21 inches minimum below grade for a 16 inch diameter pier footing. The footing sizes are based upon the worst case loading due_to horizontal and vertical wind loading. In :addition to our analysis of the'foundation, we have reviewed the professional, solar rails and pipes for the added load. due to the 37 psf snow load applicable at the site. ' Based upon our analysis, it is recommended that Professional Solar Products T' deep . XD rails be utilized supported by 1.5" gale schedule 40 pipe horizontal:with supports at 6'-0" o.d.. Verticalp'p I es can be 1.5" galy schedule 40. ' Referto attached calculations and details for additional information. ' Our professional services have been performed using the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar circumstances by reputable engineers practicing in this. locality. No ' other warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to the professional options included in this report.. We hope this provides you with the information you need at this time.

Waterproof roofing sealant—Use a sealant appropriate to your roofing material. SF System Planning and Assembly Installation Manual • • Stainless steel hardware can seize up, a process called galling. To significantly reduce its likelihood, (1) apply anti -seize according to manufacturer's directions to bolts. Anti -seize lubricant is available at auto parts stores, (2) shade hardware prior to installation, and (3) avoid spinning on nuts at high speed. Contact the lubricant manufacturer for torque specifications when using lubricant. [1.3.] Installer responsibilities: Please review this manual thoroughly before installing your SF System. SunPower also provides a limited warranty on SF System products (page 14). i The installer is solely responsible for: • Complying with all applicable local or national building codes; • Ensuring that SunPower and other products are appropriate for the particular installation and the installation environment; • Ensuring that the roof, its rafters, connections, and other structural support members can sup- port the array under all load conditions (this total assembly is referred to as the roof rafter struc- ture); • Using only SunPower parts and installer -supplied parts as specified by SunPower (substitution of parts may void the warranty); • Ensuring that lag screws have adequate pullout strength and shear capacities as installed; • Verifying the strength of any alternate mounting used in lieu of the lag screws; t • Maintaining the waterproof integrity of the roof, including selection of appropriate flashing; • Ensuring safe installation of all electrical aspects of the PV array. r P", 3 P", 3 ' • SF System Planning and Assembly Installation Manual Part H.

During module installation, you will need to slide ' one module in each row about a foot beyond the end of the 1'/z rails on one side. Using the number of rows and the number -L of modules per row in your installation, determine the size of your array area following Figure 2. I Array width (module width times modules per row) Figure 2. Installation area layout. Note: Module Length is not neces- sarily measured from the edges of the frame. Some frames have lips.

ALL such features must ' be included in module length" ' ,• .. r t0. ., .. _ , y Pege � 4 •• T T 113 , ' SF System Planning and Assembly Installation Manual 2. Installing the lowest row of standoffs, L -feet and rail: i Intall standoffs with flashing directly onto high profile roofing material (tile or shake) or low profile roofing material (asphalt shingles or sheet metal). L -feet must be flush with or above the`' highest point of the roof surface. Install the first row of standoffs at the lower edge of the installation area. Ensure standoffs are aligned by using a chalk line. (A SF System rail can also be used as a straight edge.) Drill a pilot hole through roof into the center of the rafter at - each standoff lag screw hole location. Many types and brands of flashings can be used with the SF System. SunPower offers a Oatey® "No -Calk" flashings for its steel standoffs and Oatey® or SunPower flashings for its aluminum two-piece standoffs. Fasten the standoff to the roof with the lag screws. Position and attach the L -foot with respect to the lower edge of the roof as illustrated in Figure 3. Cut the rails to your array width, being sure to keep rail slots free of roofing grit or other debris. If your installation requires ' splices, assemble them prior to attaching L -feet (see "Footing and splicing requirements," below, and "Material planning for rails and cap strips," p. 7). Slide the 3/8 -inch mounting bolts . into the footmg slots. If more than one splice is used on a rail, slide L foot bolt(s) into the footing slot(s) of the interior rail * Figure 3.

Laying out and installing the next row of L -feet: With L -feet only: Position the second row of L -feet in accordance with Figure S. Ensure that you measure between ' the lower bolt hole centers of each row of L -feet. Install the second row of L -feet in the same manner and orientation as the first row, but leave the lag screws a half turn loose.

After rail alignment; tighten the , rail mounting bolts. Module Y Lay one module in place at one end of the rails, and snug ^'`\ the upper rail (Fig. 6) toward the lower rail, leaving no gap . 7 between the ends of the modules and either rail. (If pan -head ,; Lag screw screw heads- represent the true end of the modules, be sure ° (half turn loose) , the screw heads touch the rails on both ends.) Tighten the lag " screw on that end. Slide the module down the rails, snugging 'the rails and tightening the remaining lag screws as you go. Lag screw (tight) • f - V it - - Figure 6. Position and secure top rail r} M r q S. Installing remaining L -feet and rails: ' Install the L -feet and the rails for the remaining rows, ' following Steps 3 and 4. You may use the same module to space all the rows. When complete, confirm that: r • All rails are fitted and aligned. - • All footing bolts and lag screws are secure. , • The module used for fitting is resting (but not se- . -cured) in the highest row. �, SF System Planning and Assembly Installation Manual • • Material planning for rails and cap strips: Preplanning material use for your particular array can prevent structural or asthetic problems, particularly those caused by very short lengths of rail or cap strip. This example illustrates one approach. ' - Stuctural requirements for rails are detailed in "Footing and splicing requirements" (p.5). Structurally, cap strips require: • A screw in prepunched hole (which occur every 7 inches, beginning 3-1/2 inches from the ends of the rails). • One screw 3-1/2 inches or less from the each end of every rail segment. Wherever there is no prepunched hole within 3-1/2 inches of an end of a segment, drill a 1i4 -inch hole 2 inches from the end of the segment and install a cap strip screw. (In most cases, you can avoid this situation with good material planning.) Structural requirements always take precedence, but usually good planning can also achieve both material conservation and superior aesthetics. This example conserves material and achieves two specific aesthetic goals: • Cap strip screws must align across the rails. • End screws must be equidistant from both sides of the array. The example assumes an array of three rows, each holding five modules 41 inches wide. Thus, four 205 -inch rail assemblies and cap strip assemblies need to be cut and spliced from 192 - inch sections of rail and cap strip. The example illustrates one means of doing so, without violating structural requirements or aesthetic goals. Array center line FA Rail segments come from five 192 -inch lengths, lettered A thru E. Rail A, for example, is cut into two 96 -inch segments, with one segment spliced into each of the first two rails. Similarly, five 192 -inch cap strips are designated V through Z. All cap strip segments are cut at the midpoint between prepunched screw holes. For each rail, start with the cap strip segment that crosses the array center line, and position over the center line so that the appropriate holes are spaced equally on either side. Position each cap strip onto its rail and mark its trim point. Remove and trim before final mounting. In this example, the center of the array is offset 2 inches from the center rafter. This prevents rail splices BD (3rd rail) and CE (4th rail) from falling too close to the center of the spans between footings. Because footings are not visible from ground level, there is negligible aesthetic loss. 1 st cap strip 4th rail 2nd cap strip 3rd rail 3rd cap strip 2nd rail 4th cap strip 1 st rail Usable remainder: D, 70", E, 70"; Y, 64"; Z, 64" ' • SF System Planning and Assembly Installation Manual 4 6. Securing the first module: Gather sufficient lengths of cap strip to cover the length of the first rail. For maximum visual appeal and material conservation see "Material planning for rails and cap strips" (p. 7). Slide the first module into final position at one end of the array. Lay the remaining modules in the top row, leaving a gap about a foot wide between the first and second modules (Fig. 7). The temporary gap allows the installer to place one of his feet between modules. He can access the section of the cap strip he needs to secure while leaning toward the peak of the roof. For the time being, the last module may overhang the rail by up to one third its width. Attach the end of the cap strip with the . ,r \;,< cap strip screws (Fig. 7, inset), so that the Figure 7. Begin cap strip installation. upper end of the first module is secure. QThe structural integrity of your array requires that cap strip screws fully engage the threaded rail. Use the cap strip screws supplied with your cap . strips. Any substitute screws must be 1/a-20 Type F thread cutting (18-8 stainless steel) and the correct length. Every cap strip segment must have a cap strip screw 3-1/2 inches or less from each end. If the nearest predrilled hole falls more than 3-1/2 inches from any end, drill a 1/a -inch hole 2 inches from the end and install an additional screw. Wherever it is necessary to make a new cap strip hole, drill a 1/4 -inch hole before installing the cap strip screw. 7. Installing the remaining modules in the top row: Slide the next module into final position and install the screws to secure it (Fig. 8). For a neat installation, use cable ties to attach excess wiring to the rail beneath the flanges. SunPower's cable ties can be attached to the SF System rail by drilling a 1/4 -inch hole in the rail and pushing the end of the tie into the hole. Continue the process until all modules in the top row are in final place and secured from the top. When complete, every prepunched hole in the cap strip will be secured by a screw.

As modules slide into place, the stepping gap shifts, always allowing access to the section of cap strip being secured. 8. Installing the remaining modules row by row: Repeat Steps 6 and 7 for the remaing rows (Fig. 9). Each ' subsequent cap strip will secure the tops to the modules being installed and the bottoms of the modules in the row above. Place the final cap strip in the lowest rail, securing the bottom • of the lowest module row. SF, System Planning and Assembly Installation Manual • • .9.

After-the,support rails.have..been fastened tothe ! pipe, you are ready-to install the -solar modules: There are two sets of clamps; the outside clamps (end clamp) (Fig. 1)'arid the inter-module clamps (Fig.'2),.that install between the modules., . PlP;v ePznntP:that all mnriiile_Pnri rlamnc ara professional SOLAR products ESTIMATING AMOUNT OF PIPE AND CONCRETE: GroundTrav Installation Manual Date Modified: 01/04/08 1 To estimate the amount of galvanized pipe needed for the rack, count the total number of panelized modules in a bank. Determine the width of the module, for example (58" x number of grouped panels (6) = 348" x 2 = 696" / 12 = 58') Since galvanized pipe comes in 21' lengths, you will need 6 lengths for the upper and lower beams to avoid cutting and threading the pipe. 2 To determine the number of posts (the maximum allowable span is 10') take the total length of one of the beams less 4' (2' allowable overhang on each end) and divide this by 10 (see figure 1). This will give you the amount of posts required to support one of the beams, doubling this will give you the number of posts and TEE's required. . 3 Estimating the amount of pipe required for the posts can be. estimated by adding 42" (footing) plus the distance from the top of the footing -grade to the beam (figure 2). Add the total length of pipe for the beams and the footings and divide by 21 (standard length of pipe). This will give you the amount of pipe lengths needed required for the installation. ' 4 Concrete for the footings = approximately 2.7 cubic feet per post. MAXIMUM SPAN = 10' USING #40 GALVANIZED PIPE l u' 2' —{ PIPE OVERHANG MAXIMUM 24" Recommended Safety Installation Procedures: 1 Installer must insure that all sharp extrusion edges 'should be buffed and smooth to avoid injuries from sharp extrusion edges. 2 All pipe ends should be capped using a 1-1/2" PVC slip caps. 3 When ground mount racking is installed in common areas, it must be properly lit to avoid injury from people walking into it. 4 If installed on steep slopes or unstable soil, footings should be sufficiently sized or engineered for these conditions. 5 Observe all electrical safety procedures and ensure proper grounding as established by both the module and inverter manufacturers. 6 Insure all support TEE set screws are properly tightened and always use schedule #40 galvanized pipe (fence post is not recommended). Torque rating for Holleander tee fitting = 17 ft. lbs.
