Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign) electronic signing system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the I agree button at the bottom of this document. Getting paper copies At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign signer account, you may access them for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below. Withdrawing your consent If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below. Consequences of changing your mind If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must withdraw your consent using the DocuSign Withdraw Consent form on the signing page of a DocuSign envelope instead of signing it. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us. All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us.

Those systems with unique characteristics may be handled with small additions to this Expedited Permit Process or may require much more information, depending on the uniqueness of the installation. The following pages contain forms for the Micro-Inverter to use with the Expedited Per- mit Process. The Standard String, AC Module, and Supply-Side Connection forms are also available as interactive PDF files at www.solarabcs.org/permitting. In jurisdic- tions that have adopted the Expedited Permit Process for PV Systems, these forms can be filled out electronically and submitted in either printed form and via email. An elec- tronic format is used so that the supplied information is standardized and legible for the local jurisdiction. 2404 E Buffalo Ave 02/15/23 Expedited Permit Process for PV Systems — Micro-Inverter2 Expedited Permit Process for Small-Scale PV Systems Micro-Inverter The information in this guideline is intended to help local jurisdictions and contractors identify when PV system installations are simple, needing only a basic review, and when an installation is more complex. It is likely that 50%-75% of all residential systems will comply with these simple criteria. For projects that fail to meet the simple criteria, resolution steps have been suggested to provide as a path to permit approval. Required Information for Permit: 1. Site plan showing location of major components on the property. This drawing need not be exactly to scale, but it should represent relative location of components at site (see supplied example site plan). PV arrays on dwellings with a 3’ perimeter space at ridge and sides may not need separate fire service review. 2. Electrical diagram showing PV array configuration, wiring system, overcurrent protection, inverter, disconnects, required signs, and ac connection to building (see supplied standard electrical diagram). 3. Specification sheets and installation manuals (if available) for all manufactured components including, but not limited to, PV modules, inverter(s), combiner box, disconnects, and mounting system. Step 1: Structural Review of PV Array Mounting System Is the array to be mounted on a defined, permitted roof structure? l Yes l No If No due to non-compliant roof or a ground mount, submit completed worksheet for the structure WKS1. Roof Information: 1. Is the roofing type lightweight (Yes = composition, lightweight masonry, metal, etc…)__________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ If No, submit completed worksheet for roof structure WKS1 (No = heavy masonry, slate, etc…). 2. Does the roof have a single roof covering? l Yes l No If No, submit completed worksheet for roof structure WKS1. 3. Provide method and type of weatherproofing roof penetrations (e.g. flashing, caulk).____________________________ Mounting System Information: 1. Is the mounting structure an engineered product designed to mount PV modules with no more than an 18” gap beneath the module frames? l Yes l No If No, provide details of structural attachment certified by a design professional. 2. For manufactured mounting systems, fill out information on the mounting system below: a. Mounting System Manufacturer ___________Product Name and Model#________________________________ b. Total Weight of PV Modules and Rails ___________lbs c. Total Number of Attachment Points____________ d. Weight per Attachment Point (b÷c)_________________lbs (if greater than 45 lbs, see WKS1) e. Maximum Spacing Between Attachment Points on a Rail ______________inches (see product manual for maximum spacing allowed based on maximum design wind speed) f. Total Surface Area of PV Modules (square feet)_________________ ft 2 g. Distributed Weight of PV Module on Roof (b÷f)_______________ lbs/ft2 If distributed weight of the PV system is greater than 5 lbs/ft2, see WKS1. Step 2: Electrical Review of PV System (Calculations for Electrical Diagram) In order for a PV system to be considered for an expedited permit process, the following must apply: 1. PV modules, utility-interactive inverters, and combiner boxes are identified for use in PV systems. 2. The PV array is composed of 4 series strings or less per inverter. 3. The total inverter capacity has a continuous ac power output 13,440 Watts or less 4. The ac interconnection point is on the load side of service disconnecting means (690.64(B)). 5. One of the standard electrical diagrams (E1.1, E1.1a, E1.1b, or E1.1c) can be used to accurately represent the PV system. Interactive PDF diagrams are available at www.solarabcs.org/permitting. Fill out the standard electrical diagram completely. A guide to the electrical diagram is provided to help the applicant understand each blank to fill in. If the electrical system is more complex than the standard electrical diagram can effectively communicate, provide an alternative diagram with appropriate detail. 2404 E Buffalo Ave 02/15/23 Ex p e d i t e d P e r m i t P r o c e s s f o r P V S y s t e m s 3 Micro-Inverter Site Plan Kota Energy Group Heather Ruhl Solar5205 Avenida Encinas Ste D.
