THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS, COLORADO By: Gerry Paul Purchasing Director DATE: ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: GRID ALTERNATIVES By: Printed: Title: CORPORATE PRESIDENT OR VICE PRESIDENT Date: Services Agreement Income Qualified Solar Array Project Page 6 of 25 DocuSign Envelope ID: 3115C2B9-4D7E-4062-9788-93C1E19D7EF9 Philip Watkins Executive Director 9/28/2016 Assistant City Attorney 10/15/2016 City Clerk EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK & SPECIFICATIONS Technical Approach and Product/Technology Description The system detailed below will comply with all of the current RFP and contract specifications. System Design Subject to final design choices, Grid Alternatives (“Grid”) will design and install a nominal 63.6kW-DC solar array (the “System”) on the south roof portion of the building located at 518 N. Loomis, as depicted below. The System has been designed as a turnkey installation including permits, utility interconnections material procurement and installation. Grid will collaborate with the City of Fort Collins team, included the City’s designated roofing contractor, to determine the best design to fit the building to ensure that the integrity of the existing roof is maintained. Grid will work with the City to schedule onsite work and coordinate efforts requiring assistance of building staff and/or IT staff as required to establish proper networking and proposed data monitoring communications. Additionally Grid will train staff at the end of the project on system operation and data monitoring viewing. Staff training will include hazard identification, system shut down procedures, identification of performance issues and monitoring portal access. An O&M manual will be left onsite for City Staff use as well as for the maintenance team. The System has been designed to generate 63.6kW-dc total utilizing available roof area. The proposed system will be installed as to provide the best solar access to the panels while maintaining appropriate clearances between mechanical equipment and roof edges to maintain space for maintenance personnel and provide paths for fire access. The PV system is designed to sit 4' from the parapet walls and has a 4' fire access down the center of the building. The proposed site and roof layout is depicted below. IQ Solar Array Location – 518 N. Loomis Services Agreement Income Qualified Solar Array Project Page 7 of 25 DocuSign Envelope ID: 3115C2B9-4D7E-4062-9788-93C1E19D7EF9 Diagram of Roof Layout The System has been designed using 240 solar JA Solar JAP6-60-265/3BB modules to make up a 63.6 kW-dc system. The panels will be paired with Fronius Symo 15.0-3 208 Inverters for an AC system rating of 60 kW AC. PV Modules The JAP6-60-265/3BB PV modules used in this project are manufactured by JA Solar a Tier 1 manufacturer. The PV modules performance will be verified during the construction of the system by testing string voltages and comparing the system output to the expected output. Each string will be tested for insulation resistance, short circuit current, open circuit voltage and ground continuity. Inverters The inverters used in this system Fronius Symo 15.0-3 208 String Inverters. The max efficiency of the inverter is 97.3 % depending on the inverter size. The data sheets can be found in Appendix A: "Supplementary Equipment Documentation". Services Agreement Income Qualified Solar Array Project Page 8 of 25 DocuSign Envelope ID: 3115C2B9-4D7E-4062-9788-93C1E19D7EF9 Rooftop Mounting Systems The ballasted mounting system to be used for the installation of the PV array is the Polar Bear III HD racking system manufactured by PanelClaw for commercial roofing systems. The racking system is a fully ballasted design that requires no roof penetrations to eliminate modifications required to the existing roof membrane. This system has been tested for wind speeds up to 90 mph and will meet the local wind and snow load requirements. The systems design weight will fall below the maximum 10 psf roof load allowed per building specs. The racking design allows for wiring to be cleanly ran between rows without wiring running through free air. System Performance and Monitoring The System’s first year total energy production estimate is shown in the table below. The System is expected to produce 87,181 kWh in the first year of service given past weather data for the area. PV Generation (kWh) Jan 4,199 Feb 4,466 Mar 8,156 Apr 7,409 May 9,665 Jun 10,626 Jul 11,555 Aug 9,862 Sep 8,887 Oct 5,966 Nov 3,552 Dec 2,837 Annual 87,181 * First year generation estimates do not account for system degradation The annual system degradation is expected to be no more than 3% in the first year and 0.7% for every year following. The production estimates have been generated using NREL's System Advisor Model (SAM) software. Monitoring Systems The monitoring system will consist of hardware to connect the PV system to the building’s internet connection and inverter level monitoring. The Fronius Data manager 2.0 will log data from the 4 Fronius 15.0-3 208 inverters and upload PV System data directly to the Fronius solar.web online portal.
