(PV Squared) provided on the roof supporting structure of the Feingold residence, at 211 Maple Ridge, in Florence (Village of Northampton), MA.The purpose of this review was to provide an opinion regarding the structure's capacity 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 front side house roof.There is already a PV array over the living space above the attached two-story garage.Your proposed array will be mounted on the main house.The main house measures approximately 32'x42'.The house has a gable roof,with a 30-degre pitch. The roof is symmetric about the peak. The roof is supported by manufactured wood roof trusses spaced 24" O.C. These trusses span 32' between exterior walls. The trusses have 2x4 top and bottom chords, and 2x4 webs.The center vertical web member has lateral bracing at its midpoint. The roof has a plywood deck and asphalt shingles. The photographs you provided suggest that the house is well maintained and that the roof is performing well. There is no evidence of distress or large deflections. NECE's review and analysis included the controlling gravity load combinations (snow and dead load). Consideration of snow load included both balanced and unbalanced (drifted) snow load design cases. Development of sloped roof snow loads (Ps) indicated that the increase in dead load from the PV array, is more than offset by the reduction of sloped roof snow load, owing to the smooth, snow shedding surface of the PV panels.This is the case despite the higher thermal coefficient (Ct) due to the thermal break under the array. New England Construction Engineering, PLC PV Squared—Feingold#2 Jonathan Rugg, P.E. Florence, MA Page 2 of 2 Conclusion: Based on the information that you provided, I conclude that, the roof will support your proposed PV array. I base this on the following. The proposed PV panels will be installed parallel to the existing roof, eliminating additional wind load. Based on the information that you have provided on similar projects; I assume that the PV panels weigh approximately 2.3 psf. The Ground Snow Load (Pg) for Northampton is 40psf. The minimum Flat Roof Snow Load (Pf) is 35psf. In summary, in my opinion,the roof will adequately support your proposed roof mounted PV array. Thank you for the opportunity to assist with this project. If NECE can be of further assistance, please contact Jonathan Rugg at NECE.

Lic.A13764 I MA 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, Maya Fulford Installation Manager
