IIIC REC Solar Racking System Series 100 Date: January 26, 2010 To: Greg McPheeters REC Solar From: • Matthew Giliiss Taylor & Syfan Consulting Engineers Project: REC Solar Racking System Series 100 T&S Job No.: 7456 Subject: Summary Letter for Series 100 INTRODUCTION This Project Summary Letter Is in reference to the Structural Calculation Packet for the REC Solar Racking System Series 100, dated December 2009. The calculations have been performed in accordance with the 2007 California Building Code (CBC), the governing structural code in California, which Is based on the 2006 International Building Code (IBC). Several factors contained within this code govern the'overall design of the racking system. The racking system has been designed to withstand code-prescribed forces due to the racking system's own weight, the weight of the solar panels, snow loads, and wind forces. RAIL SPANS In terms of variable conditions for the racking system, the main rails which support the solar panels, (referred to as the "standard rails") have an adjustable length, which Is the distance between their attachments to the roof (called standoffs). For the purpose of the calculation packet, that length was taken to be 8'-0", 6'-0", 4'-0", or 2'-0". • Due to the many variables that are required to be taken Into account during a wind analysis, we have determined multiple cases that we feel are the most common. These cases are based upon several factors which include building height, pitch of the panels, wind exposure region, wind speed, snow loads, and topographic factors.

Colorado Blvd. Suite 201 Pasadena, CA 91106 (626)793.7438 (626)793.7439 fax REG Solar Racking System Series 100 SITE-SPECIFIC ANALYSIS We have determined that the rails are able to span a maximum of 8'-0" for many of the common cases, but that there are certain cases which will require shorter spans and/or a location-sensitive analysis to be performed on a case-by-case basis. A site-specific analysis may be required if it is found that the location of the solar panel install 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 applies to the location. Topographic factors apply, for general purposes, when the structure is on a hill, mesa or bluff, or is adjacent to a large body of water. For complete descriptions of topographic factors, please refer to ASCE 7-05 Section 6.5.7. • The roof of the structure that the solar panels will be Installed on is greater than 50 ft. above grade, • A combination of loads and/or site conditions applies that is.not addressed in the attached rail span charts. If one of more of these factors applies to the project location, please contact Taylor & Syfan, and we will be able to analyze the site conditions and recommend a standoff spacing for each specific site. RAIL TESTING Due to the possibility of structural failure of the rails due to their non-symmetrical shape, testing was conducted per the standards set forth by the 2006 IBC Section 1714: Preconstructlon Load Tests. The results of this testing procedure were used in comparison with the calculated values to help establish the maximum load allowed by the rails. The full procedure and results of these tests can be found in this packet. RACKING CONNECTIONS TO THE EXISTING ROOF Also contained within the calculation packet are calculations for the connection of the rails to the roof framing. Using the sizes provided by REC, we have calculated the maximum forces REC Solar Racking System Series 100 ~~ Page 2 Centra!

These components consist of the L-foot (REC Drawing ATCH-D01), the Standoff (ATCH-D02), the Hybrid (ATCH-D05), and the Hanger Bolt (ATCH-D06 - which is discussed below). All (4) options are acceptable under the parameters shown In REC's plans. The results from our analysis have been integrated Into the summary charts. SUMMARY CHARTS AND TQPGRAPHIC FACTORS The attached pages of this summary contain what we feel are some of the most common building configurations with varying wind speeds. These charts can be used as a quick reference for looking up maximum rail span lengths based on the building and site conditions, but It must be noted that for any building where a topographic factor is to be applied (e.g. hills, mesas, seashore) the rail span lengths given may exceed what'is allowed for the given site condition. A registered structural engineer should evaluate .the exact topographic conditions for this specific site prior to construction. UNIVERSAL END CLAMP REC Solar has also developed a "Universal End Clamp" which Is used to connect Individual solar panels to the rails (see REC Solar's drawing "UEC INSTALL"). These have been developed and tested by REC Solar, and they are adequate to resist the maximum uplift and shear forces generated by code prescribed wind forces when installed as specified. The testing results may be submitted upon request. HANGER BOLT OPTION The Hanger Bolt consists of a 3/8" diameter bolt that is used In place of the typical standoff connection to connect the racking components to the existing roof framing. Because the connection between the hanger bolt and the racking consists of a clamp that relies on friction, extensive testing has been done and a factor of safety over 4 has been applied to the ultimate loads that the assembly safely carried. With the factor of safety, the hanger bolt was able to resist the same loads required of the other standoff options.

EXISTING BUILDING LIMITATIONS This summary letter discusses the structural adequacy of the solar racking system itself only and does not investigate or validate the adequacy of the structure that the racking system Is being placed upon. It does nat 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 that may be imposed by the new standoff connections. It also does rjsfi address the additional lateral forces that will be Imposed upon the building due to the seismic mass the new system adds 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. Taylor & Syfan may be consulted for building-specific structural evaluation. Taylor arid Syfan assumes that systems are Installed to the specifications presented here and using good structural judgment by the installer. Additionally, as an optional service, we recommend the performance of structural observations of the installation, as a best practice service, by Taylor & Syfan. Please note that all sizes, material, specifications, and weights have been provided by REC Solar. All waterproofing, roofing, and drainage issues are the responsibility of REC Solar. Please, let us know If you have any questions or comments. Thank you. Sincerely, Matthew B.
