Dan McAliley BL Harbert International 210 London Parkway Birmingham, AL 35211 RE: Abuja PV System Submittal Response

Dan, Following are the SDA’s responses to the concerns raised by Travis Oliver on the recent submittal package for the proposed PV system at the new parking garage structure at the Abuja NOB.

1. PV Module Mounting.

Response: The PV modules are secured in a manner that is accessible from below. It has been addressed on sheet PV402, drawings 4 & 5.

Spare modules.

Sheet PV101:

Response: SDA will provide the 4 additional modules (as a no-cost add to Harbert) to close the sub-array rectangles. These additional modules will not be connected to the system. This is in addition to the spare modules that are to be set aside as attic stock, at the facility.

3. Sheet PV101 – PV Layout.

Response: the PV array has been centered as requested. The DAS weather station has been indicated on detail 1.

Sheet PV101 – Plan #4 Parking Building

Sheet PV203:

. Response: The 3D view has been updated from the approved for construction drawing package.

5. Sheet PV203 – Transition Box Detail.

Sheet PV401:

Response: A note indicates to use a 12-wire cord grip and 10 fuse holders, for transition boxes 14, 15, & 16.

6. Sheet PV401 – Mounting Rails.

Sheet PV601:

Response: The spans between rail supports as designed, are typically ~7’-6” [2275 mm], and will be a maximum of ~8’-8” [2625 mm], as per the spacing of the concrete beams. Rails as supplied from the manufacturer will typically be 16 ft rails. A 16 ft rail plus another 16 ft rail cut in two segments, makes a total length to support a set of 7 modules. The splice has been indicated, and is placed according to manufacturer’s specifications.

7. Sheet PV601 – Equipment Schedule.

Response: “By Harbert” has been added to items D, E, & F

Sheet PV601 – PV Module Output.

Response: The electrical data of the PV module and source circuits have been updated to match the revision for the PV module Suniva MVX255. The equipment labeling is also updated accordingly.

Sheet PV601 – Line Diagram. Response: The transition boxes do not all match up one-to-one with all of the inverters. Due to the mechanical limitations of the array, some transition boxes carry source circuits of multiple inverters. All transition box outputs are routed to a wireway in each electrical room, mounted beneath the inverters. In this wireway, the source circuits shall be routed to their corresponding inverters.

March 19, 2013 box 242, harvard, massachusetts 01451-0242

(978) 456-6855 ● www.solardesign.com

10. Sheet PV601 – Inverter L.

11.

Response: Inverter L is fed by source circuits L1, L2, L3, & L4.

Transition box TB12 carries source circuits L1 & L2. Transition box 16 carries source circuits L3 & L4.

Sheet PV601 – Inverter M.

12.

Response: Inverter M is fed by source circuits M1, M2, M3, M4 & M5.

Transition box TB13 carries source circuits M1 & M2a. Transition box 16 carries source circuits M2b, M3, M4, & M5. Source circuit M2 is sourced from multiple sections of the canopy, each labeled M2a and M2b. These partial source circuits are to be connected in series, to form one source circuit. The series connection happens in the wireway in room P401, with wire connectors installed on the jumpers as needed. Four source circuits are fed to the inverter’s primary input (MPPT-A), and the remaining source circuit is fed to the inverter’s secondary input (MPPT-B). Inverter M shall have two internal surge arrestors, one for each input bus.

Sheet PV601 – Inverter N.

13.

Response: Inverter N is fed by source circuits N1, N2, N3, & N4.

Transition box TB14 carries source circuit N1. Transition box 15 carries source circuits N2, N3, & N4.

Sheet PV601 – Inverter P.

14.

Response: Inverter P is fed by source circuits P1, P2, P3, & P4.

Transition box TB15 carries source circuits P1 & P2. Transition box 16 carries source circuits P3, & P4.

Sheet PV601 – Inverter V.

15.

Response: Inverter V is fed by source circuits V1, V2, V3, & V4. Source circuit V1 is sourced from multiple sections of the canopy, each labeled V1a and V1b. These partial source circuits are to be connected in series, to form one source circuit. The series connection happens in the wireway in room P401, with wire connectors installed on the jumpers as needed.

Transition box TB12 carries source circuit V1a. Transition box 20 carries source circuits V2, V3, & V4.

Sheet PV601 – DAS Circuit Breaker.

16.

Response: The 15A 3-P breaker for DAS power & voltage tap in panel P1U2 is provided by Harbert, and this note has been added to the drawing.

HD Signal Extender –For Reference Only.

17.

Response: The DAS drawings have been updated to include the note about matching the facility voltage.

Automation Direct Boxes.

We look forward to our continued correspondence regarding this installation.

Response: Only two models of these enclosures are intended to be used in this project. Enclosure model HW-J121005SC is to be used for the fused transition boxes.

Enclosure model HW-J100804SC is to be used for the DAS Weather Station. The two box models have been marked accordingly. All box models that aren’t used for this project, have been eliminated from the documents.

Sincerely, E. Robert Erb.
