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.
