Thank you for purchasing a SunPower brand photovoltaic system (your "System") from an authorized dealer of SunPower Corporation ("SunPower"). Your System includes an inverter to convert the electricity generated from DC to AC (your "Inverter"). SunPower did not manufacture your Inverter, but rather purchased your Inverter from its manufacturer, Power -One, Inc. ("Power -One"). Your System also includes a SunPower Monitoring System (the "SMS") to allow for remote monitoring of your System by SunPower. Inverter Naming Convention and Type Plate. The type plate located on your Inverter refers to the Power -One product name for your Inverter. SunPower product names are also used to identify your Inverter. Power -One product names are matched to SunPower product names in the table below. Power -One product PVI 3.0-OUTD-S-US SunPower SPR -3000 product -TL-1 PVI 3.6-OUTD-S-US SPR -3600p -TL -1 PVI4.2-OUTD-S-US SPR -4200p -TL -1 PVI5000-OUTD-US SPR -5000 -TL-1 PVI 6000-OUTD-US SPR -6000 -TL-1 Warranty for Your Inverter. Your Inverter is warranted by Power -One under the enclosed Warranty Terms and Conditions (the "Power -One Warranty") provided by Power -One. Administration of the Power -One Warranty. While the Power -One Warranty is a warranty directly to you from Power -One, SunPower will administer the Power -One Warranty on your behalf. Inverter Warranty Claims. If you experience any problems with your Inverter, you should contact SunPower Technical Support at 1.800.SUNPOWER and SunPower will assist you with the presentation of your warranty claim with Power -One pursuant to the provisions of the Power -One Warranty. Inverter Service. Service for your Inverter is provided by SunPower. Please contact SunPower technical support at 1.800.SUNPOWER for questions about your Inverter. Your SunPower Monitoring System ("SMS"). You should not refer to the Power -One manual for installation and operation of your SMS. Instead, refer to the installation and operating instructions for your SMS provided by SunPower. Please contact SunPower Technical Support at 1.800.SUNPOWER for questions about SMS. Use with SunPower PV. Your Inverter is a transformerless inverter and, like all transformerless inverters, your Inverter should only be used with SunPower photovoltaic modules that allow ungrounded DC configurations. Do not ground the DC circuitry of your System when using your Inverter and do not use your Inverter with SunPower modules that require positive grounding. 77 Rio Robles SUNPOWER P: 1.408.240.5500 San Jose, CA 95134-1859 USA www.sunoowercoro.com F: 1.408.240.5400 Arena Part Number 500546 Rev.

Installing the lowest row of standoffs, L -feet and rail: ' 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 aliped by using a chalk line. (A SF System mil 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 Oateye or SunPower Fleshings for its aluminum two-piece standoffs. Fasten the standoff to the roofwith 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).

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 5. 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. Be aware of the set-up time of your sealant; the L -feet will not be fully tightened until Step 4. 4. Installing the second rails: - Install and align the second rail in the same [Wanner and orientation as the first rail. After rail alignment, tighten the rail mounting bolts. 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 between the ends of the modules and either rail. (If pan -head screw heads represent the we end of the modules, be sure ` the screw heads touch the rails on both ends.) Tightan the lag screw on that end. Slide the module down the rails, snugging the rails and tightening the remaining lag screws as you go. 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 [he rows. When complete, confirm that: • 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. - 6 3`�"�,odule length I Vt..,s %• t Ihole to hole) { Figure S.

Thus, four 205 -inch rail assemblies negligible aesthetic loss. and cap strip assemblies need to be tut and spliced from 192- , , inch sections of rail and cap strip. The example illustrates one ' means ofdoingso, without violating structural requirements ' or aesthetic goals. - Anaycenterline i N • r 1'1'� Trim line (onoy edge) ( i Trim fine (onay edger.1 41 • V 112" • •1 •I, X 96" • Ist cap strip •_ * F 14. - C BT, - I E 127 - ' I 4th rag - I� I I SF System Planning and Assembly Installation Manual 6. Securing the first module: � • _� ,. _. .,,p_.. , '�.< 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 � \_-K I \;;�r r cap strip screws (Fig. 7, inset), so that the upper end of the first module is secure. Figure 7. Begin cap snip installation. The structural integrity ofyour array requires that I \ cap strip screws fully engage the threaded raft. Use the cap strip screws supplied with your cap strips. Any substitute screws must be'/4-20 7ype P thread cutting (18-8 stainless steel) and the correct length. r Every cap strip segment must have a cap strip , screw 3.1/2 inches or less from each end.
