8.A. - Page 111 <br /> Exhibit B. Engineering and Construction Requirements <br /> • All structural components, including array structures, shall be designed in a manner <br /> commensurate with attaining a minimum 25-year design life. Particular attention shall <br /> be given to the prevention of corrosion at the connections between dissimilar metals. <br /> • Thermal loads caused by fluctuations of component and ambient temperatures shall be <br /> accounted for in the design and selection of mounting systems such that neither the <br /> mounting system nor the surface on which it is mounted shall degrade or be damaged <br /> over time. <br /> • PV modules will be mounted using a combination of Prudent Industry Practices, best <br /> practices and manufacturer's instructions to maintain the module warranty. <br /> • Final coating and paint colors shall be reviewed and approved by the Buyer during <br /> Design Review from standard colors offered by the manufacturer. <br /> • Painting or other coatings must not interfere with the grounding and bonding of the <br /> array. <br /> 3.5.7 Corrosion Control <br /> In addition to the above,Corrosion Control proposed by Seller must comply with at least, but not <br /> limited to the following requirements: <br /> • Fasteners and hardware throughout system shall be stainless steel or material of <br /> equivalent corrosion resistance <br /> • Racking components shall be anodized aluminum, hot-dipped galvanized steel, or <br /> material of equivalent corrosion resistance <br /> • Unprotected steel not to be used in any components <br /> • Each PV system and associated components must be designed and selected to <br /> withstand the environmental conditions of the Project Site (e.g., temperatures, winds, <br /> rain,flooding, etc.) to which they will be exposed. <br /> 3.5.8 Roofing Requirements <br /> The installation of PV modules, inverters and other equipment shall provide adequate room for <br /> access and maintenance of existing equipment on the building roofs. A minimum of three feet <br /> of clearance will be provided between PV equipment and existing mechanical equipment and <br /> other equipment mounted on the roof. A minimum of four feet of clearance shall be provided <br /> between PV equipment and the edge of the roof. Clearance guidelines of the local fire marshal <br /> shall be followed. The installation of solar or thermal systems will be reviewed for code <br /> compliance and adherence to the State Fire Marshal Solar Photovoltaic Installation Guideline. <br /> The PV equipment shall not be installed in a way that obstructs air flow into or out of building <br /> systems or equipment. <br /> Exhibit B Page 11 <br />
