Design Loads for Buildings_ & Other Structures _ California Building Code, 2016 Edition Other: AC428, Acceptance Criteria for Modular Framing Systems Used to Support PV -Modules, dated Effective November 1, 2012 by ICC -ES Aluminum Design Manual, 2015 Edition IronRidge Exhibit - 0001 The structure is a simple column (pier) and beam (cross pipe) system. The piers & cross pipes are 3 inch standard weight (schedule 40) steel pipes. The tops of the piers are connected in the E -W direction by the cross pipes which cantilever over and extend past the end piers. The cross pipes.are connected by proprietary IronRidge XR1000 Rails spanning up and down the'slope which cantilever over and extend past the top and bottom cross pipes. The solar modules are attached to the rails with IronRidge clamps. There are typically two rails per column of modules. Gravity loads are transferred to the piers and foundations by the rails and cross pipes acting as simple beams. For lateral loads the system is a cantilever structure. The effect of seismic loads (for all design categories A -F) have been determined to be less than the effect due to wind loads in all load conditions and combinations. The pier spacing in the N -S direction is 7'-6". The pier spacing in the E -W direction is 13'-7" and is determined by the structural design for. the, specified design criteria below. The governing criteria for the pier spacing is either the spanning capacity of the cross pipes. or the cantilever capacity of the pier. The foundations shall be 12" diameter and shall have a depth below finished grade of 7'-0". Starling Madison Lofquist, Inc. Consulting Structural and Forensic Engineers Royal Aire Inc.

It is useful for installers, eleciricians,'and electrical inspectors or authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) in i understanding how code -compliance is handled where NEC 2014:is adopted. Main topics discussed in this document are: I • NEC 2014 Section 690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings • NEC 2014 Section 705.12 Point of Connection ' NEC 2014 Section 690.11 DC Arc -Fault Circuit Protection T NEC 2014 Section 69012 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on' } Buildings j-,�.....-a.•,:..�..,t..li.�n.--�-.•.....�-,mow.., �..:.r... - ..a:..,_-....-_. �_,. .� - Enphase MicioinvertecSystems fully meet the rapid shutdown requlrement;without the need;to.lnstall additionafetectrical equipment.�Properly labeling,the PV `system power source, and rapidahutdown"ability; is required per.NEC Section 690.56 (B)�and°(C): " � Solar -electric PV systems with Enphase Microinverters have one utility -interactive inverter directly. underneath each solar module, converting low voltage DC.to utility grid -compliant AC.'When the utility` r grid is available and the sun is shining, each microinverter verifies that the utility grid is operating within the IEEE 1547 requirements. Only then does'it export AC power. into the electric service for use by loads e onsite or export power to the utility grid for others to use. When the utility grid has a failure, or the PV i system AC circuits are disconnected from ,the utility service via an AC breaker,, AC disconnect, or removal of the solar or.main utility service meterAhe microinverters stop producing AC power in fewer than six AC i cycles.-Enphase Microinverters are not capable of operating as an AC voltage source. This means that without an AC utility source, Enphase Microinverters are not able to energize connected wiring and no AC voltage or current can be injected into the inverter output circuits or the grid. When the AC utility source is removed from the inverter output circuits via any means, such as an AC' . breaker, AC disconnect or removal of the solar or main utility service meter, this equipment performs, the rapid shutdown function per 690.12. With an Enphase Microinverter System this shutdown occurs well within the 690.12 required 10 seconds, and there.are no other conductors energized more than 1.5 m (5 ft) in length inside a building or more than 3 m (10 ft) from a PV array. • Code Reference 690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings. PV system circuits installed on or in buildings shall include a rapid shutdown function that controls specific conductors in accordance with 690.12(1) through (5) as follows. (1) Requirements for controlled conductors shall apply only to PV system conductors of more than 1.5 m (5 ft) in length inside a building, or more than 3 m (1:0 ft) from a PV array. i (2) Controlled conductors shall be limited to not more than 30 volts and 240 volt-amperes within 10 seconds of rapid shutdown initiation: (3) Voltage and power shall be measured between any two,conductors and between any conductor and ground. (4) The rapid shutdown initiation methods shall be: labeled in accordance with 690.56(B).. (5) Equipment that performs the rapid shutdown shall be listed and identified.. I ©.2015 Enphase Eneray Inc.

Due to its modular architecture, it can handle nearly all commercially available PV modules and can scale to the largest projects. ' IronRidge products are engineered to last in the most extreme weather conditions and have been installed in every continent in the world. IronRidge Ground Mounting. components are engineered to incorporate locally sourced 2"or 3"schedule 40 pipe to provide a sturdy, cost-effective, and highly scalable solution. The Ground Mount product leverages many of the same components as the Ground Mount. Installers already familiar with the XR1000 rail and mounting components will find that the IronRidge Ground Mount offers an extremely easy -to -install and intuitive experience: Technical Specifications Below is a brief summary of the technical specifications of the IronRidge Ground Mount platform. More detail will be provided in the following pages.

Additional tips and information for installing mounts: ■ See Classic Composition Mount install and Quick Tips videos on nail removal, bolt prep; and more at: www.quickmountpv.com/support/videos.htmi ■ It is not necessary or advisable to use nails or other fasteners to secure the perimeter of the flashing. The Classic Composition Mount is made to work with standard and high-definition composition/ asphalt and wood shingle roofs with 5" to 5-5/8" courses. If the exposed surface of the course exceeds this measurement you may need to use our Classic Shake Mount instead. ■ Depending on the season and climate, size and location of seal tabs, and quality of the shingles, the seal tabs that adhere the shingle courses together may not effectively seal the shingles to the flashings. If this is the case, simply add several quarter -sized dabs of manufacturer accepted sealant or asphalt roofing cement, meeting ASTM D 4586 Type II, between the flashing and the shingle above. ■ Mounts should not be installed in areas of the roof susceptible to ice damming. Water ponding under the shingles can reach the bolt penetration. ■ Take care not to damage the roofing material while working on the roof. Removing stone granules and deforming the shingles in any way can shorten the lifespan of the.roofing. The value of the solar array is directly affected by the condition of the roof it is attached to.
