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. ACTIVE ENERGIES SOLAR.

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 wholesale 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 combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than$300,000(under 1OkW)or$1,000,000(over 1OkW)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, 12-year warranty on inverters and 25-year warranty on the panels and optimizers. A more complete warranty statement is available during contracting. Active Energies Solar LLC carries liability insurance on all work and employees. Assumptions: • Revisit site and take measurements once the new roof is complete to ensure layout will be acceptable. • Grid-tie connection:Project electrician to complete the AC grid interconnection. Active Energies will be onsite to coordinate all AC grid interconnection work,supply related equipment and designs. The electrician scope includes labor and materials for the inverter output circuit from the inverter to the point of interconnection (normally a standard breaker)through an Active Energies supplied disconnect. A separate proposal can be developed for this portion of work,if desired. • Conduit Location: Some exposed conduit will be required to be run on the roof and exterior wall. Customer input is encouraged to limit aesthetic impact. Non-Financial Benefits of Solar: A 5.95kW PV system each year(www:solarenergy.org): • prevents 5.4 tons of coal from being mined % V A S • prevents 10.7 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere off • keeps 7,497 gallons of water from being consumed 9 • offsets 15,785miles from being driven Qi • is equivalent to planting 36 trees \\ a • keeps NO and SO2 from being released into the environment • Knowing that you are taking another step in protecting the environment! ‘..464'\ • 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.

Compared to conventional modules, Solaria PowerXT modules have fewer gaps between the solar cells;this leads to higher power and superior aesthetics. Solaria PowerXT residential modules are manufactured with black backsheet and frames, giving them a striking appearance. Developed in California, Solaria's patented cell cutting and module assembly takes processed solar wafers and turns them into PowerXT solar modules. The process starts by creating a highly reliable PowerXT cell where busbars and ribbon interconnections are eliminated. Solaria then packages the cells into the PowerXT solar module, reducing inactive space between the cells. All of the above leads to an exceptionally efficient solar module produced in a cost effective manner Higher Efficiency, Higher Power Solaria PowerXT modules achieve up to 19.4%efficiency;conventional modules achieve 15%—17%efficiency. Solaria PowerXT modules are one of the highest power modules available. Lower System Costs Solaria PowerXT modules produce more power per square meter area. This reduces installation costs due to fewer balance of system components. Improved Shading Tolerance Sub-strings are interconnected in parallel,within each of the four module quadrants, which dramatically lowers the shading losses and boosts energy yield. Improved Aesthetics Compared to conventional modules,Solaria PowerXT modules have a more uniform appearance and superior aesthetics. Durability and Reliability Solder-less cell interconnections are highly reliable and designed to far exceed the industry leading 25 year warranty.
