WARNING: Use caution when cleaning the back surface of the module to avoid penetfating thesubstrate materials. © Copyright 201 2 MEMC Electronic Marerial It 2 Installation Manual: MEMC Silvantis 60 cell PV Modules 5 of 15 4.0 MECH'ANJCAL INSTALLATION 4.1 PLANNINGANDDESIGN Before installation, check to ensure all sub-structure Will accommodate expected system loads. This includes and is not limited to roof, foundations, mechanical structure, and mechanical connections. For roof installations, utilize a fire-resistant roofcovering rated forthe application. Mechanical structures should not contact the module backsheet onder any expected load conditions Consider the following factors during system design, which will influence performance: a) MEMC solar modules produce the most power when they are pointed directly at the sun, and should be tilted for optimum; system performance. b) Proximity to obstructions such as: walls, buildings, trees,groundcover, snow cover, or dust and debris that have the potential to shadeordamage the modules. c) Elevated temperatures will decreaseenergy yield, so designsshould ensure adequate'aifflow acrossthe backof the module. d) Allow a minimum spacing of 10 mm between modules forthermal expansion. 4.2,MODULE INSTALLATION OPTIONS FOR MOUNTING LOCATIONS For mounting locations forclampsor bolt for specified load, please referto Table on page 6. Each modulershould be mounted using four bolts through the mounting holes on the rearsideof themodule, or with four clamps over thefront side. Depending on the desired load capability of the array, modules may be mounted either perpendicular or parallel to the structure rails. Clamps can be mounted anywhere inside of the safe mounting range for each case illustrated below (referring to chart showing clamp and bolt mounting locations). If using bolts, eight mounting holes areiprovided on the rear side the module frame as shown ih Appendix 8.1. Use a stainless steel bolt stack no smallerthan 1/4"-20 orM6, with two flat washers and a locking washeras shown in Appendix 8.2. To ensure an adequate clamping area, all clamps used should comply with the following general conditions: 1. Clamp height must correspond to;50 mm frame height 2.

Ensure that frame weep holes (see Appendix 8.1) are not obstructed by the mechanical installation. 5.0 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 5.1 PLANNINGAND DESIGN • All modules are manufactured with a sealed junction box and pre-attached cables and locking connectors.These components should not be modified or tampered with in·any way. NOTE: Installers should ensure that the polarized lockingconnectors are from the same supplier when connected on the same string. Wedo not recommend mixing polarized Interlocking connectors fram different manufacturers-including connections atthe inverter, combiner boxes, and modules. Ensure connectors are clean and dry before establishing connection. Ensurethatall wire, fusing and disconnects are appropriately sized for the system design according to national, regional, and local codes. Electrical characteristics are within plus or minus 5% of rated values for Isc, Voc, Impp and Vmpp. Modules may operate underconditions which may be significantly different than STC. MEMC suggests multiplying specified ratings by a minimum of 1.25*or more when sped fying the system and balance of system components. 1.25* Referto local codes before planning anddesign of thesystem. For detailed electrical characteristics, please refer to Section 7.0, page 10 through 11 of this Installation Manual. Determine the maximum number of modules connected in series using the followjng formila: Ns =Vtnax / VOC Where: Ns equals the maximum modules in series vmat equals.the maximum system voltage Vmax is limited to a maxim u m of 1000 V for IEC and 600 V for UL Vocm equals the module open circuitvoltageat coldest conditions for the site (refer to local codes) WARNING: Installers should adhereto all applicable local, regional, and national codes and regulations when designing and constructing the photovoltaicsystem. NOTE: In colder climates, it may be necessary to further reduce the maximum number Of modules in series by using Vocm attlfe minimum expected operating temperatwre. 5.2 MODULEWIRING The module includes Wires and polarized locking connectors from thejunction box on the back of die module.The wires have su Mcient length to connect to adjacent modules iii either a poi tiait or landscape configuiation. Field replacement of connectors or cables must be avoided and it· will invalidate the product warranty. Polarized locking cohnectors of thesame type and make are needed for all series string wiring. The maximum operating temperature of wires and connectors should neta-ce-ed 85°C. © Copyrig h t 201 2 MEMC Electronic Marerial Installation Manual: MEMC Silvantis 60 cell PV Modules 9 of 15 WARNING: It is not recommended to mix connectors from different suppliers within the same string. This includes connections at the inverter, combiner boxes, and modules. Always wire modules so that proper polarity is maintained. Avoid placing excessive tension on the cables: There is no limit to the maximum number of series stringsthatcan be combined in parallel. However, when doing so, each string must include overcurrent protection with a maximum rating of 15A. MEMC recommends fhe useof DC rated fuses or overcurrent protection devices-with the appropriate maximum voltage rating. Do notconnect modules directlytoa parallel bus. The cross-sectional area of cable and the connectortype must be selected to align with the overall system design and should include the maximum shortcircuit currentof the system, maximum operating temperatures, and cable run lengths. Forfield connections, use ata minimum #12 AWG/4 mm21 wires insulated fora minimum of,85°C. Use copper wire only. 5.3 GROUNDING The moduleframe includesiseveral labeled grounding holes. These holes maynot be used for any other purpose. MEMC recommends a Burndy BGBL-4 AL lay-in lug for grounding. Only Negative grounding circuits (negative polarity to ground).shall be used within the array design. Attach the grounding lug to the frame as follows: _ Step 1.: Use stainless,steel hardware. Step 2: Place the grounding lug overthe grounding hole on the exteriorof the module frame. Step 3: Place a star washerdirectly between the bottom of the grounding lugand the exteriorsurface of the frame. Step 4: Placean M*or#8-32 boltthrough the lug, star washerand framegrounding hole. Step 5: Securethe lug to;the frame using a flat washer, split washerand M4 or#8-32 nut. Step 6: Torque the bolt stack to approximately 1.5 N.m (or 1.1 foot pounds) toensure the star washerscratchesthe anodized frame. © Copyright 2012 MEMC Electronic Material 4 , Installation Manual: MEMC Silvantis 60 cell PV Modules 10 of 15 5,4 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION WARNINGS Installation and maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel only. Use insulated tools during installation, troubleshooting and maintenanceof photovoltaic rrodules. Installers should adhere to all applicable local, regional, and national codes and regulations when designing and constructing the photovoltaicsystem. Photovoltaic modules.produce DC electrical energy from light. When illuminated, each madole can have a DC potential of greater than 45V ahd should be handled with care. Disconnecting modules under illumination may cause electrical arcing which may result in burns, fires, orother problems. Modules connected in series should·not be disconnected under illumination. - Always use a wire management„system that keeps wires and cables out of direct contact with edge surfaces which could cut or damage the insulation. Do not allow wires to rest on the ground or roof surface. The module junction box should not beopened or modified irl any way·in the field. Additional grounding holes may be'added only, with the express written consent of MEMC. New grounding holes must be drilled using an approved drill jig, avoiding damage to the module glass, backsheet or other module components. Do not use mirrors, lenses, or other techniques to magnify or concentrate additional light on the module. 6.0 DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY The information in this manual is based on MEMC's knowledge and experience and is believed to beaccurate.

If the exposed surface of the course exceeds this measurement you may need to use our Classic Shake Mount instead. • Depending on the season and climate, size and location of seal tabs, and quality of the shingles, theseal tabs that adhere the shingle rourqe,5 together may not effectively real the ghinglecto the flashings. If this is the case, simply add several quarter-sized dabs of manufacturer accepted sealant or asphalt roofing cement, meeting A5TM D 4586 Type 11, between the flashing and the shingle above. • Mounts should not be installed in areas of the roof susceptible to ice damming. Water pending under the shingles can reach the bolt penetration. • Take care rot to--damage-the roofing material while working on the roof. Removin-0 stone granules and deforming-the shingles in any way can sho-Ften the lifespan of the roofing.

RAC Part I. Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load [1.1.] Using the Simplified Method - ASCE 7-05 The procedure to determine Design Wind Load is specified by the American Society of Civil Engineers and referenced in the international Building Code 2009. For purposesof this document, the values, equations and procedures used in this document reference ASCE 7-05, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Struct:ures. Please refer to ASCE 7-05 (f you have any questions about the definitions orprocedures presented in this manual. Unirac uses Method 1, the Siniplified Method, for calculating the Design Wind Load for pressures on components and cladding in this document. The method described in thisddcument is valid for tlush, no tilt, SolarMount Series applications on either roofs or walls. Flush is defined as panels parallel to the surface (or with no more than 3" difference between ends of assembly) with no more than 10"space betw.een the roo f surface, and the bottom of the PV panels. This method is not approved for open;structure calculations. -- Applications of these procedures is subject to the following ASCE 7-05 limitations: 1, The buildihg height must be less than 60 feet, h < 60. See note for determining h in the next section. For instill lations on structures gfeacer than 60 feet, contact your local Unirac Distributor. 2. The building must be enclosed, not an open or partiallyr enclosed structure, for example a carport. 3. The buildingis regular shaped with ho unusual geometrical :irregilly, fity in <patial forth, for exa,mple a geodesic dome. 4. The building is not in an extreme geographic location such as a narrow canyon or steep cliff. 5. The building has a flat orgable reefwith a pitch less than 45 degrees or a hip roof with a pitch less than 27 degrees. 6. lf your installation does not conform to these requirements please contact your local Unirac distributor or a local professional engineer. If your installation is outside the United States or does not meet all of these limitations, consult a local pro fessional engineer oryour local building authority. Consult ASCE 7-05 formore clarification on the use of Method 1. Lowerdesign wind loads may be obt:ained by applying Method II from ASCE 7-05. Consult with a licensed engineer jf you want to use Method II procedures. The equation for determining the Design Wind Load for components and cladding is: pnet (psj) = AKzd pnet3O Fnet·040 = Design WindLoad A = adjustment-factorfor building height and exposure category K.: = Topographic Factor at mean roof height, h (ft) 1 = Importance Factor pnetso (ps.19 = net design wind pressurefor Exposure B, at height =30*41= 1.0 You will also need to know the following information: Basic Wind Speed· = 17 Imph), the largest 3 second gust ofwind in the last 50years. h Ok) = total roof heightforflat roof buildings or mean roof height.forpitched roof buildings Roof Pitch (degrees) This manual will help you determine: 1*ective WindArea (€f) = minimum total continuous area of mudul# beifty installed (Siep 2) RoofZone = the area of the roofyou are installing the pv:system according to Step 3 RoofZone Dimension = a (ft) (Step 3) Exposiire Category (Step 6) [1.2.] Procedureto- Galculitteffutal-Debiall Wind The procedure for determining the Design Wind Load can be broken into steps that include looking up several values in different tables.

Procedure to Select Rail Span and Rail Iype [2.1.] Using Standard Beam Calculations, Structural Engineering Methodology The procedure to determine the Unirac SolarMount series rail type and rail span uses standard beam calculations and srnictural engineering methodology. The beam calculations are based ona simply supported beam conservatively, ignoring the reductions allowed for supports of continuous beams over multiple supports. Please refer to Part I for more in formation on beam calculations, equations and assumptions. If beams are installed perpendicular to the eaves on a roo f steeper than a 4/12 pitch in an area with a ground snow load greater than 30psf, then additional analysis is required for side loading on the roof attachment and beam. In using this document, obtaining correct results is dependent upon the following: 1. Obtain the Snow Load for:your area from your local building official. 2. Obtain the Design Miind Load, phet· See Paft I (Procedure :to Determine the Design Wind Load) for more information on --Eilailififirthe-Design Wind Load. 3.
