Test of BP Tilt -up Solar Mount, Model BP -2150S Subject: RoofTrac flat mounting system engineered for attachment of BP Modules with framestyle measurements of 31-1/2" x 62-1/2". TEST SETUP FLAT MOUNT: Four BP Solar 31.1 "x 62.6" long modules were bolted to 1.5" x 1.5" x 130" supports using a combination of 10 Ea. 5/16" stainless steel bolts, lock washers and specially extruded inserts. The mounting channel was attached to the module mounting with a 3/8" nut and washer at six attachment points to a Tile Trac mount. The Spans tested consisted of a front to rear of 48". The entire set up was attached to 4" x 6" beams with 5/16" x 3" lag bolts. The entire test set up rested on the concrete floor. The Tile Trac mount will support BP Solar photovoltaic modules. Test Procedure: • The test set up was then loaded using sandbags that produced an equivalent 50 Ib. #/sq. ft. loading. Upon completion of the placement of the sandbags the maximum deflection that occurred was 3/8". The sandbags were left for 30 minutes with no change in the deflection or any other sign of distress. After the 30 minutes was completed the fixture was inverted to simulate the download condition. The results of the tests were duplicated in the uplift condition. The deflection was 3/8" maximum and the fixture suffered no sigps of distress and was to the loading. This document certifies the Tile Trac mount and accompanying tilt up support, used with BP Solar BP series modules, withstands a 50 Ib. per square foot static pressure load, this loading is equivalent to a wind speed of approximately 125 mph as defined in the 1997 Uniform Building Code. Overall the mounting unit performed as expected. Sincerely, Ali J. Basama, RCE ��_ WOff:SSlpygl A. BA PV MOUNT ENGINEERING —S44 No. C53080 ' Project Address-► ^�• �� T t� 4k "T� C-.

ENGINEERING: Proper engineering provides the following benefits to the installation contractor: First: It guarantees that the product will function as specified. Second: It enables the contractor to secure a building permit from the governing building department. Third: Engineering will define how the product should be installed. Professional Solar Products employs two types of engineering for its products and we will describe the benefits for each type. We will also explain why we employ the use of each of these types of engineering and why each type is appropriate for each of our products. In some cases we will use a combination of the listed types to properly engineer our products. Summary: Two types of engineering are used to test our products: LABORATORY TEST TO FAILURE: Fixturing a device on a special machine and pulling it until the device fails while a supervising engineer records the values.

Page 2 of 3 device that will be used as a sub component such as a stanchion or bracket. We used this type of testing for the Fast Jack@, Commercial Fast Jack@, and Tile Trac@ roof attachments. This type of testing is inexpensive, the reports are simple and they provide strength values for sub components only. Disadvantage; this type of testing is only useful for sub -components (i.e.: the pull-out value of a Fast Jack@ in a rafter). A stanchion or connection strength value will not determine whether a module clip/clamp will hold. STATIC LOAD TESTING (SLT): The best way to engineer complete module rack systems. Advantages include real world testing for modules mounted to rack systems. SLT insures that the racking system will hold the glass or laminate in the frame under load. SLT creates smaller engineering reports usually between 2-3 pages with no calculations for building and safety to double check. SLT follows the UL 1703 guideline for testing of PV mounting systems. SLT secures a building permit with the least amount of expense and time from the local building department (almost never requires plan check fees). SLT is required by most PV manufacturers to be considered an OEM (original equipment manufacture) for their modules. Disadvantage: Very expensive and time consuming for the manufacturer. Each rack and load condition must be separately fixtured and engineered. This is the type of engineering that we offer with our Roof Trac"" and Ground Trac"" systems. To date we have perform over 70 separate static load tests for the PV for module manufacturers.

The roof on which the SolarMount will be installed must be capable of withstanding the design dead load and design live load per footing, listed in Table 2 on page 7. 1. Determine basic wind speed at your installation she. For the United States, see the UBC chart, "Minimum Basic Wind Speeds in Miles per Hour," reproduced below. If you need clarifications or further assistance or if your instal- lation is outside the United States, consult a local professional engineer or your local building authority. OMOS RE D represents the most severe exposure in areas with basic wind speeds of 80 miles per hour (mph) (129 km/h) or greater and has terrain that is fiat and unobstructed facing large bodies of water over 1 mile (1.61 km) in width relative to any quadrant of the build- ing site.

Determine the design wind pressure required for your installation. Design wind pressure is the amount of wind pressure that a structure is designed to withstand, expressed here in pounds per square foot (psf). To determine the design wind pressure required for your installation, apply the following factors using Table 1: • your basic wind speed (determined in step 1), • your exposure category (determined in step 2), and • the height of your roof above the ground. If your values fall outside the range of the table, or if your design wind pressure exceeds 50 psf, consult UniRac, a profes- sional engineer, or your local building authority. Module manufacturers provide wind pressure rating for their modules. Confirm that they meet or exceed the wind speed rating fior your installation. If in doubt, contact the module manufacturer.

Foot spacing refers to the space between L -feet (or standoffs, if used) along the same SunFrame rail (Fig. 3). Foot spac- ing may not exceed 48 inches. For the rafter spacing at your installation, consult Table 2 (facing page) to determine your minimum design live loads and design dead loads per footing. Locate the manufacturer and model of the PV module that you plan to install and the rafter spacing at your installation site. Read or interpolate live loads for the design wind pressure you determined in Step 3. For assistance on this point, consult a local professional engineer. 6 Verify that roof framing has adequate capacity to support these design loads. If they do not, try a smaller footer spac- ing. If the result is still not acceptable, relocate the array to a stronger area of the roof or strengthen the inadequate framing elements. S. Verify acceptable rail end overhang. Rail overhang (Fig. 3) must equal 50 percent or less of foot spacing. For example, if foot spacing is 48 inches, the rail over- hang can be up to 24 inches. In this case, two feet can support a rail of as long as 96 inches (48 inches between the feet and 24 inches of overhang at each end). 6. Ensure that live loads do not exceed pull-out limits. Based on the characteristics of your roof truss lumber and the lag screws, consult Table 3 to determine the lag pull-out value per 1 -inch thread depth. Compare that value to the minimum design live load per footing determined in step 4. Based on these values, determine the length of the tag -screw thread depth you require to resist the design live load. 1b ensure code compliance, the lag pull-out value per footing must be greater than the footing design live load.

The TILE TRAC@ mounting system solved the problem of attaching solar panels on concrete tile roofs. As many installers in the American Southwest and Florida already know, tile roofs is a popular choice of roof covering in new home construction. Working closely with engineers from major PV manufacturers and suppliers, we have developed a complete installation product. TILE TRAC@ will quickly and economically install PV modules on residential roof tops. The installation standards set by these professionals consisted of a structural load rating of at least 50 pounds per square foot (125 MPH) and a system that will allow modules to be installed from the front. The system had to be economical, easy to install, resistant to corrosion and be architecturally attractive. Based upon these standards, we hope to make TILE TRAC@ mounts and accessories the new standard for attachment of PV modules on residential roof tops. Page I of 1 TECHNICAL INFO. Tile Roof FAQ's Install The Tile Trac@ with a tile roof. Photo courtesy of Advanced Solar Electric r � � I The Tile Trac@ keeps a low 3" profile to composition roof -tops. Photo courtesy of Advanced solar Electric, (CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER VIEW) The Tile Trac was designed to provide a 10 square inch base to spread the load for top -mounted installations without trapping water and/or debris on the roof. The Tile Trac also provides enough space (3" with the short stud on a Flush mounted project) between the module and the roof to ensure the roof and modules can "breathe" properly. WITHOUT TILE TRAC USING TILE TRAC As illustrated to the left, the Tile Trac@ creates a more safe and structural way to attach the Roof Trac'" system to a tile roof. Because the weight of the system is shifted off the tile and onto the rafter, there is a significantly reduced chance of broken tiles. Plus, the Tile Trac allows the installer to adjust the height in the array to compensate for un -even roof -tons. standards. NTA DEPT. The with c inside Illustration shows a long stud to the left.

The patented (pat #6,360,491) PV support mount along with the TILE TRACO patented (pat #5,746,029) the roof attachment system, is used to install frame modules to the most common roof tops including concrete tile. This manual will illustrate the proper installation of the TILE TRAM system and provide the installer general information on roof framing and roof coverings. This manual will also provide instruction on how to make solid, leak free attachments to the roof. This manual will be divided into 9 different sections to provide the new and experienced installer general information and techniques that will reduce labor costs while providing a safe structural attachment to the roof. The instruction guide is divided into the following areas: . nen • • Installation of modules using the TILE TRAC® base on composition roofs • Installation on new construction or new roof using the FASTJACK® flashable roof support stanchion • Attachment of the modules to the support channel • Installation of the TILE TRACO system for the roof installations • Safety guidelines for the solar installer • Recommended tools �G5 o* o� dl� 14 'Sr, � oo�000 �o r%FT `�oo�c A elo GP���PGE - �Vo - OJ�G �P O INTA & SAFE EpT, Page 1 COPYRIGHT PROFESSIONAL SOLAR PRODUCTS 2002: All information contained In this manual Is property of Professional Solar Products (PSP).

This means that they must be secured (bolted) into a structural member of the roof such as a rafter or joist. Structural attachment • . prevents damage resulting from wind, earthquakes . and snow loading, it also insures that the penetration into the roof will be sealed and compressed to provide a leak free connection for the life of the system. The TILE TRACO PV mounting system's patented design has been specially engineered and tested to meet industry requirements for load testing and engineering. The TILE TRAC® mount system has been load tested and approved by a licensed structural engineer. (Copies of engineering reports are available with purchase). TILE TRAC® mounts are load tested in both the uplift and download conditions while under load at 50 pounds per square foot. Our unique extruded support rail design accomplishes this degree of support with minimal deflection using relatively light gage aluminum. This TILE TRAC® system was the first system to employ the benefit of the "top down" attachment method. This unique innovation allows the installers to properly install attachment bolts into rafters. Before the invention of this product all module systems had to be bolted from the rear of the module frame. All module clamp sets and engineering are "module specific" and are tested and sized appropriately for each module manufacturer. The following sections of this manual will provide a good general knowledge of most likely roof installation situations. It is presumed that the installer has a fundamental knowledge of roof construction and tools. We will also try to suggest ways in which you can reduce installation labor and time. We appreciate your selection of our mounting system and hope that this installation guide will make your installation experience faster and more profitable. Safety: Installers should used only approved ladders and work only when roofs are dry and avoid installation on windy days. Secure all tools, modules and parts to prevent them from falling off the roof. It is advised to protect all exposed studs with protective caps during the installation process to prevent inks . GENERAL ROOF TYPES: and brought to the construction site. Trusses are generally used in track or modular homes. Each of these roofs supports systems will work exactly the same for attachment of the TILE TRACO system. The angle (inclination) of the roof is measured in terms of a division of 12, examples would be "3 in 12" "4 in 12" "5 in 12", this simple means the height is relative the horizontal measure. Most roof pitches will fall the previous categories. For the sake of this manual we will consider all roof supports rafters. TRUSS ROOF JOIST ROOF Rafter spans are generally 12", 16" or 24" O/C (on center). All modern roofs are design to support plywood centers which are 48". For this reason the TILE TRACO PV mounting system is engineered and tested at 48" centers for both portrait and landscape configurations. All attachments to the roof should be laid out and attached at 48" centers, attaching at this common distance and you will be reasonably assured of making a structural attachment to a roof rafter, while distributing the load evenly on the roof structure. Sheathing: Roof covering over the rafters generally consist of three types of materials; 1. Exterior roofing plywood. 2. OSB which is an abbreviation for Oriented Strand Board, this material has now become the standard for new home construction. This material consists of pressed wood fibers which looks similar to particle board. Although this material is structurally sound for roof sheathing, it does not have the ability to secure a lag bolt if the rafters are missed. 3.

After the support rails have been installed to the attachments, you are now ready to install the solar modules. There are two sets of clamps; the outside clamps (end clamp) and the inter -module clamps that install between the modules. For convenience, it is advisable to pre -thread or start the bolt, lock washer and' clamp into the sliding insert prior to bringing them up`l i the roof. Slide the two end clamps near the end of the support rail and install your end module (first). Carefully square the module to the frame and tighten the clamps using a 1/2" box wrench or drive socket. DO NOT OVER -TIGHTEN, we recommend a maximum torque of 20 foot pounds to prevent damage to the module glass. After the first module is secured, slide two inter -module y��oE Glle clamp sets onto the first module. They are designed to stay in place freeing you up to slide and align the next module into place. Repeat this procedure until all modules are installed onto the support rail. Upon installation of the last module in the panel, install the module end clamp to complete4he-ihstallation. -Please of� �I 1(3 tWrd Unti'g�lam s are proprietary •a�i��s�iepy r}� I[',5pe'cific brand of module.
