Because the modules will be supported on a rail system, their weight plus the weight of the snow on them will be delivered to the roof at discrete points. The effect of these point loads on the existing roof framing members must be evaluated. In the case of the front roof, the rafters are adequate to support the PV point loads, provided that the rail spans are 24 ", so that every rafter is equally loaded. If a 48" rail span is desired, then the rails should be fastened to new blocking which would be installed between the existing rafters, or else stagger the support points between alternate rafters, so that the rafters are equally loaded. The purlin of the front roof is not able to support the proposed loads. In fact, it is not adequate for the current snow loads, without the PV. Typically this roof would be grandfathered, but that status would be lost with the PV installation. Therefore, the purlin must be reinforced. Attached please find sketches showing this reinforcement. In the case of the back roof, the proposed PV system requires a careful review of the existing versus proposed loads. The 7` Edition of the Massachusetts State Building Code (MSBC) lists a ground snow load p is 55 psf. The exposure factor C is 1.0, the temperature factor C, is 1.0, and the importance factor I is also 1.0. Therefore, per ASCE Equation 7 -1 (American Society of Civil Engineers) the flat roof snow load p is 38.5 psf. Depending on the pitch and the roof surface smoothness, the flat roof snow load p may be further reduced to the sloped roof snow load p For a temperature factor C, of 1.0, and an unobstructed slippery surface, the roof slope factor C in ASCE Figure 7 -2 is 0.7. Thus, per ASCE Equation 7 -2, the sloped roof snow load p is 27 psf. Since this is an existing building, it does not have to satisfy the load requirements of the Code for new construction. Chapter 34 of MSBC contains the provisions for existing buildings. Per §3408.2.1, the snow load may be reduced to 85% of that required by the Code for new construction. This final reduction brings the snow load to 23 psf, which is 5 psf less than the design load shown on the original S -3 drawing, which was 28 psf. This Code - approved reduction of 5 psf in the snow loads, due to the unobstructed slippery surface of the PV, counteracts the additional 5 psf from the self - weight of the PV. In order to maintain an even distribution of the loads to all trusses, the rail spans on this back roof should also be kept to 24 ", unless the supports are staggered on every truss. It does not seem practical to install blocking, since there is no access to the truss space. I hope that you find this satisfactory. Please let me know if you have any questions.

HELLWIG, PE • STRUCTURAL ENGINEER • April 29, 2009 Samina Ali, Solar Consultant Boreal Renewable Energy Development 43 Margaret Street Arlington, MA 02474 saliAboreal- renewable.com Re: James House Photovoltaic Panels 42 Gothic Street Northampton, MA The following is a report of my review of the above - mentioned project. On April 21, 2009, I personally inspected the accessible areas of the existing roof structure of this building. I have also reviewed design drawings, dated Dec. 1, 1986, for the construction of the addition which was built in 1987 at the rear of the building. The intent of this project is to install photovoltaic (PV) panels on the two roofs of this building. The front roof is part of the original 19 century James House building. As noted above, the back roof was built in 1987. Because of solar shading from nearby trees, only part of the front roof will be utilized for PV. Most of the south - facing side of the rear roof will have PV. The 19` century house was constructed with a timber -framed structural system. The roof is 28 feet wide, and has a slope of about 23 degrees. It has asphalt shingles, with plywood sheathing placed over the original sheathing boards. The rafters are full- dimension softwood 3" x 51/2" spaced at 24" on center. At the peak, the rafters are pegged to a non-structural ridge beam. The bottoms of the rafters bear on the exterior walls. In between, there is a 7" x 7" timber purlin which supports the midpoint of the rafters. The spans of this purlin vary from 7 feet over the front porch to 19 feet at the rear of the roof. This latter span is so great that there is a noticeable sag in the roof, even without any snow load. The roof of the addition was constructed with a metal -plate connected dimension lumber roof truss system. The structural engineering design drawings, dated Dec. 1, 1986, were made by Alderman & MacNeish, Architects and Engineers, West Springfield, MA. The design notes on S -3 call for the trusses to have a sloped roof live load of 28 psf. The trusses were drawn as a Howe type, with a 32 ft. overall span, 5'/2:12 pitch, and 24" on center spacing. The truss members were specified as Southern Pine, with size and grade varying depending on the location within the truss. The notes also call for the truss manufacturer to submit design calculations to be reviewed by the design engineer. These calculations are not available, so it is not known what level of load capacity was actually provided. No access is currently available to view these trusses. Even if they could be seen, determining the actual capacity would be very difficult. The proposed array weighs approximately 5 psf, including rails and hardware. This additional weight will increase the dead load stresses in the existing roofs. However, the smooth surface of • 28 ALDRICH STREET • NORTHAMPTON, MA 01060 • • Voice = 413 - 584 -HLWG (4594) • Fax = 413 - 584 - HLWFax (4593) • Email = rshpe @crocker.com • Module Length Perpendicular to the Rails = 5.12 ft Allowable Rail Span /L -Foot Spacing, L = 2 -4 ft.

We estimate that the installed cost of the PV system will be about $92,000 at ($6.95 per watt DC) without the DAS components. The DAS components cost about $4,880. Therefore the total installed cost of the PV system is estimated to be $96,880 (without the cost of chimney replacement and roof structural enforcement). Section 6: Roof Structural Re- enforcement Since the current roof structure will not be able to bear the load of the PV modules and the mounting racks, we have worked with, Ryan Helwig, P.E. a licensed structural engineer to reinforce the roof. We specified the mounting racks and the modules and calculated load points on the roofs as mentioned in section 4.2 and gave these numbers to our structural engineer. Based on our load numbers, he then specified how to re- enforce the roof so that the roof can bare the weight of the PV system. Please see the attached file for the roof enforcement engineering plans. Section 7: Installation The installation of the PV system is to be performed to meet the specifications set for by roofing manufacturer in order to maintain all warranties. The roof will be inspected by a representative prior to and after the system installation. The contractor will be responsible for coordinating all inspections. The contractor (installation team) will also perform any alterations or repair any damage caused by their work that invalidates or compromises the roof warranties. The installation team will be responsible for cleaning up after themselves including the lawn area. The landscape should be at its original condition at the end of the installation. The contractor will install all equipment and materials. All work will be performed per local and state electrical codes and per the equipment manufacturer's specifications. All equipment, electrical feeds etc, are to be labeled according to National Electric Code. The contractor will train city personnel on the operation of the system, including operation of the DAS and various system disconnects.

Its panel efficiency is 19.2% which is the highest among commercially available solar panels. The second most efficient panel in the market in SPR -305 (panel efficiency of 18.7 %). Each of these panels has different voltage and ampere ratings and different dimensions. These numbers are used to determine the string sizing, total capacity of the PV array, inverter and the data acquisition system (DAS) design. Therefore, it is not easily possible to use a PV array design customized for the SPR -305 for a different type of panel. Every time we change the panels with a different rated panel, we will have to redesign the whole PV array. For this reason, and the fact that we have specified the most efficient panel, it is not recommended that we provide you with two additional sources of panels, inverters and DAS with this design. • In the CITY OF NORTHAMPTON JAMES HOUSE PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM DESIGN DOCUMENT, Section 5: Cost Estimate (page 18) is replaced with: The total installed cost of the system depends on the installer, since about 40% of the total cost is for the installation work. We estimate that the installed cost of the PV system will be about $95,000 without the DAS components. The DAS components cost about $4,880. Therefore the total installed cost of the PV system is estimated to be about $100,000 (without the cost of chimney replacement and roof structural enforcement). • Add to the CITY OF NORTHAMPTON JAMES HOUSE PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM DESIGN DOCUMENT: Section 9: General Conditions and Facilities 9.1 Utilities 9.1.1 The Contractor may use facility water and power from their existing locations.
