Total System
On grid system is shown Off grid systems
require battery storage between DC Disconnect and
Inverter
4
The Total System Working together to harvest
power.

• Triple-junction technology captures three wave
  lengths (red, green/yellow and blue) of sunlight
• Panels are electrically daisy-chained together to
  maximize output
• Power is converted from DC to AC and is
  returned to the grid
• Optional Data Acquisition System provides
  real-time analysis of energy production

5
The Total System

• The Solar SSR panels are
• Highly flexible, lightweight and durable
• More efficient at producing electricity than
  alternative polycrystalline solar technology,
  especially in shadows and/or low light
• Efficient up to 185F
• A peel and stick back

6
The Total System

• No roof penetrations to install
• Eliminates additional structural support
  requirements
• Maintains serviceability and walkability of the
  roof
• Roof slopes between 112 and 2112
• Curving is permitted
• Tested to very high hail and wind resistance
  ratings extremely durable
• Extremely light weight at 0.75 psf

7
Standing Seam Applications

• Can be applied to existing metal roofs or new
  standing seam panels
• Standing Seam panels must be at least 16 seam to
  seam
• Fabral Enduracote and Flurobond paint systems
  are approved
• Solar SSR panels are field installed can be
  adhered prior or post to installing standing seam
  panels

Exposed Fastener Applications -A PATENT PENDING
APPLICATION -

• BIVP solar thin film laminates can be adhered to
  hemmed flat sheets that are one foot longer than
  the solar panels
• Flat sheets are then attached over exposed
  fastener systems

System Sizes

• Wide range of power sizes to choose from,
  depending upon budget and building requirements.
• Standard system sizes 1.5, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60,
  120 and 240 Kw
• The system requires approximately 600 s.f. for 3
  kW

15
Watts?
Watt Unit of power Volt x Amp Watt Hour
Unit of energy equal to 1 watt of power operating
for one hour. 1,000 W (watt) 1 kW (Kilowatt)
5kW system x 1hour 5 kW-h Average 3.5-4 hours
a day of 100 efficiency Average day5kW system
x 3.8 hours 18 kW-h / Day
18kW-h will light 7.5 100w light bulbs for 24
hours
16
Typical Power Production Percentages

• Commercial buildings 11.7 17.4 kWh per sq.ft.
  floor area
• Residential buildings Average house uses 11,000
  kWh per year
• 5kW system produces approximately 5,000 8,000
  kWh per year
• 1.5kW Pennsylvania 2,020 kWh / yr
• 3kW Virginia 4,077 kWh / yr
• 5kW Washington 6,389 kWh / yr
• 5kW N. Carolina 6,939 kWh / yr
• 5kW N. Carolina 7,201 kWh / yr
• 5kW Pennsylvania 6,753 kWh / yr
• 10kW Wisconsin 12,155 kWh / yr
• 15kw Wisconsin 18,215 kWh / yr

17
Solar SSR
Other Factors

• Azimuth angle (direction the roof faces, SE, S,
  SW, etc)
• South or SW is often considered the best
• Sunlight
• Shade
• Snow cover
• Module/Panel Width 15.5 PV width
• 16 SSR most efficient
• 18 20 SSR wasted space

What Fabral Sells

• Fabral sells
• Solar SSR panels
• Cable Trays
• Cable Tray Covers
• Rubber Grommets
• S-5! Mini Clamps
• Our customers must obtain the other components
  themselves
• We provide suggested manufacturers and contacts
  to call

19
System Costs

• Total estimated system price
• (less the metal roof)
• 3kw (rated DC, 3.264kw) 25,786
• 5kw (rated DC, 5.44kw) 41,344

20
Installation

• Metal panels must be clean and smooth with no
  stiffening ribs, striations or embossing
• Thin-film solar laminate is adhered directly onto
  the exposed face of the SSR panel in the field or
  shop in temperatures between 50 and 100F before
  roof installation
• Video available online

21
Installation

• Fabral specifications clearly outline the scope
  of work and installation responsibilities
• Fabral manufactures and delivers the entire
  system to specification
• The system is installed in two steps
• The BIPV roofing panels by the trained roofing
  contractor
• The electrical system by the electrical
  subcontractor

22
Warranty

• The Fabral Solar SSR system comes with a
  Fabral/EnergyPeak 25-year manufacturers
  warranty
• 25 Years

23
ROI

• The perfect start
• Can be processed via paper or online at
  www.fabral.com/ROI.php
• Calculations are available for all power size
  options
• All current federal rebates, state and local
  incentives, utility provider incentives,
  renewable energy credits and depreciation are
  shown
• ROI well under 10 years is common
• About 7 days for results

24
Tax Credit Advantages
30 Solar IRS tax credit is available on PV
systems - Extended through 2016 - Previous cap
on residential PV systems has been REMOVED,
significantly increasing the tax incentives for
residential applications - Many state and local
utility rebates exist PLUS dont forget -
Homeowner Energy Credit of 30 for projects using
metal roofing meeting ENERGY STAR (cool colors)
requirements - Maximum credit is 1500 - Does
not include installation costs - Must be
installed during 2009 or 2010
25
Drawings Specifications

• Fabral will supply all required AutoCad drawings,
  electrical schematics and Masterspec
  specifications for both the electrical and
  roofing sections
• Electrical schematics and specifications should
  be given to the electrical engineer for review
