During the day,any excess production feeds into the grid, spinning the meter backwards. At night when the solar modules are not producing electricity, the electricity comes from the grid. If enough energy is exported during the day, it will balance or exceed the amount you draw from the grid at night. Grid-tied solar does not have a backup energy source in the event of a grid outage, unless batteries are added to the system. P.O.

This will begin product procurement, permitting and rebate processes. When equipment has been received Active Energies will then install your system according to all applicable codes and complete the AC connection to the grid. At this point the final payment is to be made. The final steps include inspection and approval, net meter installation by the utility company, and final rebate processing. Now,your system is operational and you can start feeding the grid! Payment Schedule 4.OkW System Down Payment $11,000 Final Payment $5,545 Utility Rebate* -$6,000 Federal Tax Credit** -$3,163 Total $7,382 *Please confirm pricing and panel availability prior to contracting *Holy Cross WE CARE Rebate: The Holy Cross Energy's WE CARE Program offers a $1.50/watt incentive for customers who install grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems; with a cap of $9,000. The program also offers customers a $1,500 per solar thermal collector rebate for existing construction, if the system is connected to an electric water heater; with a cap of $6,000. Fund reservations are required, which are completed by Active Energies on the customer's behalf and last for 4 months. NOTE: The funding resources are limited and on a first come first serve basis. Program levels may change at any time. Current funding amounts are available in the REG/STS Expenditure Recap document found at www.holycross.com under the"Member Service" menu item. **Federal Incentives: This quote assumes that applicable rebates will be taken as non-taxable income. A taxpayer may use IRS form 5695, Residential Energy Credits,to claim a credit of 30%of qualified expenditures, less rebates,for a system that serves a dwelling unit located in the United States. If the federal tax credit exceeds tax liability,the excess amount may be carried forward to the succeeding taxable year. Consult your tax professional on the applicability of this benefit. Net Metering: Holy Cross Energy offers net metering;when more electricity is being produced by your PV system, power is fed to the electrical grid. Your bill is then netted, the electricity you consumed and the electricity feed back into the grid, so you only pay the net amount. If there is a positive yearend balance, Holy Cross Energy will write you a check for the average retail cost of electricity for the prior 12-month period. Holy Cross will require approval of an Interconnection Agreement document to receive their rebate and connect to the grid. Customer Insurance Requirements:The Interconnection Agreement with your utility company,which is signed before net metering installation, requires proof of insurance. This insurance shall be "liability insurance with a P.O.Box 7627,Avon,CO 81620 P: 970.306.4233 F: 866.403.3485 www.activeenergies.com S01._112 .., Project Details combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than$300,000(under 10kW)or$1,000,000 (over 10kW)per occurrence." This is a standard coverage limit and only a copy of the coverage is required. Please contact your insurance carrier to verify and provide proof of coverage. Warranty & Insurance: There is a 5 year warranty on installation and workmanship, 25 year warranty on inverters and 25 year warranty on the panels. A more complete warranty statement is available during contracting. Active Energies Solar LLC carries liability insurance on all work and employees. Assumptions: • No new vents or chimneys have been planned for the area designated for the solar array • Additional structural and electrical professional engineering costs required for permitting, if applicable, have not been included • Homerun Wiring: Additional interior drywall work may be required to run wiring from roof to garage/electrical area. Solar Non-Financial Benefits: A 4.OkW PV system each year(www.solarenergy.org): • prevents 3.6 tons of coal from being mined 1► 9 • prevents 7.2 tons Of CO2 from entering the atmosphere • keeps 5,040 gallons of water from being consumed C • offsets 10,612 miles from being driven O zip • is equivalent to planting 24 trees O ,\ • keeps NO and SO2 from being released into the environment v • Knowing that you are taking another step in protecting the environment! • Help free yourself from the utility company by limiting your exposure to increasing energy costs. Own your electricity instead of renting it. In the 2006 Colorado College State of the Rockies Report, researchers estimated that the Vail Valley area can expect a 57% decrease in April 1 snowpack by 2085! This snowpack is essential for our drinking water and recreational snow. We all can do our part to stop the global warming trends. You have the power to reduce your electrical usage, reducing stress on our electrical grid and emitting fewer greenhouse gases. Thank you again for choosing Active Energies Solar LLC. Our goal is to save you money on your utility bills, while lessening impacts on our fragile environment. With this in mind, please let us know if there is any way we can better serve you.
