PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Akeena Solar (Akeena) will provide the PV system and related equipment necessary
to complete the Photovoltaic Generating project in a workmanlike manner at:
NAME, ADDRESS (Owners).
Specifications and details for this project are summarized below, and are
described in more detail in the proposal to the Owner dated August 6, 2006
(Date).
o 35 Sharp NE-170U1 Solar Modules
o 1 Fronius IG 5100 Inverter(s)
o Aluminum Racking
o Balance of System Equipment
All components of the proposed system are UL listed and certified for the
State's Solar Electric Rebate Program. The system will produce approximately 0
kWh annually. Akeena provides a full 5 year warranty on the installed system.
INSTALLATION SITE
Your PV modules will be installed over the XXXXX facing roof of your house.
Wiring from the panels to the inverter will be run in conduit to the inverter
location.
ELECTRICAL
DC power from the solar modules will be routed in electrical conduit to the
inverter. AC power from the inverters will be routed to your main electrical
service entrance. The output from each inverter will be connected to an
additional breaker in your service panel. Conduit will be run on the outside of
the roof and walls, and will be painted to match the underlying surface if
possible. According to the National Electric Code, conduits carrying DC power
from the modules to the inverter should not be run within interior walls or
attic spaces.
PV MODULES
35 Sharp NE-170U1 modules (or equivalent depending on our suppliers'
manufacturing capacity and cell deliveries to the U.S.) will be installed. These
are reliable, durable and highly efficient PV modules with a 25-year
manufacturer warranty.
INVERTERS
1 Fronius IG 5100 inverter will be installed. Your inverter(s) will be installed
on the outside of your house, near your existing electrical meter. A kWh meter
will be included with the system so that you can determine your net energy
production. This state-of-the-art inverter carries a 10-year manufacturer
warranty.
MOUNTING
PV modules will be installed with secure, pre-engineered mounting systems using
all stainless steel and aluminum hardware for long-term durability. For your
composition roof, PV modules will be attached to flashed standoffs. These
standoffs will be securely fastened to the underlying rafters using stainless
steel lag screws and urethane caulk.
Substantial commencement of this project shall be on or about November 4, 2006.
Substantial completion of this project shall be on or about December 4, 2006.
These dates may be adjusted based on the signing date of this agreement and for
weather-related, local permitting or other scheduling delays.
Owner promises to pay or cause to be paid to Akeena as indicated below the sum
of $53,582 (Total Price). The total price includes standard engineering costs,
but does not include local permitting, building department and licensing fees,
which we will bill to you at our cost. This price does not include State
Rebates, Utility Rebates, State Tax Incentives, or Federal Incentives, which are
described in the proposal to the extent that they apply to this project. Total
Price is good for 6 months from the acceptance date of this Agreement. If
installation takes place more than 6 months after the acceptance date, Akeena
has an option to increase the module pricing by no more than 10%, if warranted
by solar panel market conditions.
Upon receipt of the estimated Rebate of $23,800 Akeena will pay 100% of the
Rebate to Owners. The Design Fee on the following schedule includes our design
and incentive application costs related to your project. This Design Fee is
non-refundable to the extent that these costs have been incurred by Akeena. Past
due payments are subject to interest charges at 1.5% per month, or 18% per year.

Due upon local building permit signoff & submittal of interconnection
agreement to utility $ 4,213
Owners acknowledge and agree to the milestone payment schedule above. __________
We will coordinate and attend local building department inspections as needed.
The property owner is expected to be at the final utility inspection. If you
would like us to be present on your behalf we will bill you for our time at the
rate of $50 per hour, including travel and waiting time. We will bill you for
our direct expenses and time at the rate of $100 per hour if it becomes
necessary to prepare for and attend local building department meetings on your
behalf, if revisions must be made to the standard plans and drawings that we
submit, if a structural engineer is required to evaluate your roof or rack
foundation, if soil or geological tests are required, or if structural or
electrical upgrades must be made to your existing facility as a result of
building department or engineering requirements. When we begin the installation
it is important that the site be ready for our crew's arrival and be in the
condition that was discussed with your Design Consultant. If any unanticipated
work on the site is required (including but not limited to moving equipment once
it has been installed; moving or removing existing antennas, vents, conduit,
wires, etc., and coordinating and/or waiting for other job-site contractors) we
will charge you at our current installation labor rate of $80/hour per person.
Tree removal, if necessary or desired to improve the performance of the system,
is the responsibility of the property owner.
Owner agrees to collect PV system output data twice yearly and report to NYSERDA
for a period of two years. Owner agrees to collaborate with NYSERDA's Director
of Communications should they prepare any press release or plan any news
conference related to the PV system. For further information about NYSERDA's
program go to www.powernatually.org.
