TEST SETUP (as shown in attached drawing detail): Three modules, as specified above, were bolted to 136"x1.5"x1.5"
Professional Solar Products (PSP) patented RoofTrac® support rails using an assembly of 5/16" Stainless Steel (SS) bolts,
SS lock washers and proprietary aluminum clamps and inserts. The RoofTrac® support rail was attached to the PSP RoofTrac®
structural attachment device with a 3/8" SS nut and SS washer at six attachment points. The setup was attached to 2"x6"
wooden rafters using 5/16" x 3-1/2" SS lag bolts. The attachment spans consisted of 48" front to rear with structural
attachments spaced 48" on center.
TEST PROCEDURE (as shown in attached drawing detail): The test set up was top loaded to 55 Ib/ft2. The setup remained
loaded for an approximate period of 30 minutes. The maximum deflection and any signs of permanent deformation were
recorded. The test setup was then inverted and loaded to simulate the uplift condition. The test set up was re -loaded to 55
lb/ft2. The setup remained loaded for an approximate period of 30 minutes. The maximum deflection and any signs of
permanent deformation were recorded.
TEST RESULTS:
The maximum top load deflection was recorded at 0.469", with no permanent deformation.
The maximum uplift deflection was recorded at 0.313", with no permanent deformation:
This document certifies the RoofTrac® mounting system used with modules, as specified'above, withstands a 55 Ib/ft2 static
pressure load,'equivalent to a wind speed of approximately 135 mph**. The mounting system performed as expected.
Sincerely,
James R. Vinci, S.E.
This engineering report verifies that Vinci & Associates has provided independent observation for load testing as descri
load test reflect actual deflection values and are generally accepted as the industry standard for testing module mount
not field check installations or verify that the mounting system is installed as described in this engineering report.
To assist the building inspector in verifying the authenticity of this proprietary mounting system, a permanent adhesion,
silver reflective "Roofrrace" label, as shown to the right, Is placed on at least one of the main support rails or
permanently stamped with "Professional Solar Prod. Pat #6,360,491" on the underside of rail.
Structural attachment: Lag bolt attachment should be installed using the proper pilot hole for optimum strength. A
5/16" lag bolt requires a 3/16" pilot hole. It is the responsibility of the installer to insure a proper attachment Is made
to the structural member of the roof. Failure to securely attach to the roof structure may result in damage to
equipment, personal injury or property damage.
This office does not express an opinion as to the load bearing characteristics of the structure the mounting
system/modules are being installed on.
ICC accredited laboratory tested structural attachments manufactured by Professional Solar Products
(including FasUack®, TileTracO, and FoamJacks) can be interchanged with this system.
Check with local building department or AHJ for site specific requirements.

UPLIFT LOAD TEST
Client: Professional Solar Products
Report No: RJ0729P-1
Date: August 2, 2010
Page 2 of 3
Test Procedure: The test assembly was mounted to the base of an Instron Tension/Compression Machine. A
vertical (uplift) load was applied to the %-inch diameter by 6 -inch long "stainless steel threaded rod attached to
the moveable crosshead of the Tension/Compression Machine. The load was applied at a constant rate of 0.2 -
inch per minute until failure.
Test Results: At a test load of 1,100 pounds, the 5/,s -inch diameter. by 31/2 -inch long lag bolt pulled out of the 2
x 4 wood stud. .
SIDE LATERAL LOAD TEST
Test Procedure: The test assembly was mounted to the base of an Instron Tension/Compression Machine. A
horizontal (side lateral) load was applied to the end of a 2 -inch wide by 1h -inch thick steel bar which was
attached to the top of the three %-inch diameter by 6 -inch long stainless steel threaded rods. The load was
applied at a constant rate of 0.2 -inch per minute until failure.
Test Results: At a test load of 4,500 pounds, the aluminum brackets holding the %-inch diameter by 6 -inch
long stainless steel threaded rods in place on the TileTrac® Roof Attachments began to slip and dig into the
aluminum channels.

SiMoull THHN@
600 Volts. Copper Conductor
Thermoplastic Insulation/SIM Nylon Sheath
Heat, Moisture, Gasoline, and Oil Resistant'i
Also Rated MTW and THWN-2
SIM Technology® for easier pulling
APPLICATIONS
Southwire SlMpull THHN ® or THWN-2 conductors are primarily used in conduit and cable trays for services, feeders, and
branch circuits in commercial or industrial applications as specified in the 2008 National Electrical Code. When used as Type
THHN, or T90 Nylon conductor is suitable for use in dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90 OC. When used as Type
THWN-2 or TWN75, conductor is suitable for use in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90 OC or not to exceed
75 OC when exposed to oil. When used as Type MTW, conductor is suitable for use in wet locations or when exposed to oil at
temperatures not to exceed 60 eC or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90 OC (with ampacity limited to that for 75 OC
conductor temperature per NFPA 79). Conductor temperatures not to exceed 105 OC in dry locations when rated AWM and
used as appliance wiring material or when used asT90 Nylon. Voltage for all applications is 600 volts. This cable may be
installed without the need for pulling lubricant.
SPECIFICATIONS
Southwire SlMpull THHN or THWN-2 or MTW (also AWM) meets or exceeds all applicable ASTM specifications, UL
Standard 83, UL 1581, UL Standard 1063 (MTW), CSA, NOM-ANCE 90e C, Federal Specification A -A-59544, and
requirements of the National Electrical Code.
• VW -1 - Sizes 14 through 1 AWG
• CT - UL 1685, Sizes 1/0 AWG and larger for CT use.
• FT1 - Sizes through 500 kcmil
• T90 Nylon - Sizes through 500 kcmil
• TWN 75 - Sizes through 500 kcmil
• ROHS Compliant
• Sunlight Resistant - Marked and listed in all colors 2 AWG and larger
CONSTRUCTION
Southwire SlMpull THHN ® or THWN-2 or MTW copper conductors are annealed (soft) copper, unilay compressed strand,
insulated with a tough heat and moisture resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC), over which a SIM (SLIKQWIK® Infused
Membrane) nylon (polyamide) or UL Recognized equal jacket is applied. Available in black, white, red, blue, purple, green,
yellow, brown, orange, and gray. Some colors standard, some subject to economic order quantity.
1 Oil and gasoline resistant II as defined by Underwriters Laboratories.

Certificate of Insulation
Your Home has been insulated with CertainTeed Fiberglass Insulation products, which are designed
for today's safety standards and tomorrow's energy requirements.
Fiberglass is inorganic and therefore permanently noncombustible, so it does not have to be treated
with fire -retardant chemicals that will likely lose their effectiveness over. time. It has not been treated
with chemicals that can corrode wiring or metal. Fiberglass will not absorb moisture nor wil l it
settle over time as may other insulation materials.
This also certifies that CertainTeed Fiber Glass Insulation has been professionally installed in this home
to provide the following thermal performance:

R- means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R- value, the greater the insulating power.
Ask your builder for the fact sheet on R- values. Keep this certificate with your other
valued papers. If you ever sell this home, this certificate should be passed on to the buyer.
