The inverter output circuit shall have a voltage rise (not voltage drop) of no greater than 1.5%. Photovoltaic panels shall be arranged to not shade any other photovoltaic panels at December 21 at 9 a.m. or 2 p.m., whichever results in the larget shadow. If contractor provides equipment other than the basis of design equipment included herein, the contractor must provide a system designed around those equipment components so that the system provides an equivalent or greater energy production. Items to consider include, but are not limited to, the number of panels per photovoltaic source circuit (also known as a string) matching the low voltage of the maximum power point tracking range of the inverter selected; locations of DC combiner boxes; system performance factor; and locations, quantities, and style of support system. Coordinate the design with the building electrical system, the electric utility, other disciplines, the Government, and all other parties involved to produce an IEEE 1547 and National Electrical Code compliant system Equipment Requirements The PV power system designs supplied for this project must have a design review and approval from the utility company.

Inverters, controllers and PV panels must have specific listings as noted elsewhere in this document. All circuit breakers, fuses and disconnects must be listed for use in DC circuits where applicable. Equipment only rated for use in AC circuits will not be permitted for use in DC circuits. 2. All wiring (conductors) must be properly sized and rated for the application in accordance with the National Electrical Code. 3. All terminations must use listed box terminal or compression type connections, and must be made within an appropriate junction box or enclosure. Exposed, field splices between conductors will not be permitted. Twist on wire splices, crimped, soldered or taped connections are not permitted for the required field installed wiring of DC circuits. Proper torque specifications should be provided for all of the required field connections, and all termination points should be liberally coated with an anti-corrosion spray to preserve the quality of all connections over time. 4.

Spare panels' ungrounded conductors shall not be connected to other PV panels or any other part of the PV system. Except as noted in this item, spare panels shall be installed as specified in this specification section. 3.2 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL Tests Performance monitoring will be verified by the metering installed on the system, recorded by the customer on a monthly basis. Based on these data and the size of systems installed, determinations can be made as to whether the systems are functioning properly, or whether any problems exist that require attention by the owner or service visit by the installer at a later date Inspections Inspections by agencies: 1. Required inspections shall be scheduled by the Contractor after notifying the Contracting Officer's Representative. 2. The utility company shall be contacted for approval prior to installation. Notify the Contracting Officer's Representative when contact has been made. After receiving final inspection approval for all related permits, the Utility shall be notified to inspect and provide the authorization to operate prior to the Contractor energizing the system Training The Contractor also will be required to provide a minimum of four hours of training to the end user and operator of each system. Topics to be covered in this training include theory of operation, operating requirements, component descriptions and specifications, maintenance requirements and schedule, safety precautions, overview of system manual, and record keeping. 3.3 PERFORMANCE MONITORING Performance monitoring will be verified by the metering installed on the system, recorded by the user on a monthly basis. Based on the data and the size of systems installed, determinations can be made as to whether the systems are functioning properly, or whether any problems exist that require attention by the user or service visit by the installer at a later date. SECTION Page 9
