insurance policy shall include a provision that written notice shall be given to Holy Cross at least
thirty(30) days prior to any cancellation or reduction of any coverage. A copy of the liability
insurance certificate must be received by Holy Cross prior to the date of interconnection of the

Holy Cross shall not,by reasons of its inclusion as an additional insured, incur liability to the
insurance carrier for the payment of any premium of such insurance. Certificates of insurance
evidencing the requisite coverage and provision(s) shall be furnished to Holy Cross and attached
to this Agreement and appended hereto as an attachment prior to the date of interconnection of
the Generating Facility. Holy Cross shall be permitted to periodically obtain proof of current
insurance coverage from the Consumer in order to verify proper liability insurance coverage.
Consumer will not be allowed to commence or continue interconnected operations unless
evidence is provided that satisfactory insurance coverage is in effect at all times.
23. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Consumer with thirty(30) days

Calculations
3.75kW System Size(STC)
• 15 Phono Solar PS250P-20/U solar modules @ 250watts
• 1 SMA SB 3800TL-US 208v(2 strings of 7/8 modules)
• Fixed array tilt angle: 14.04°
• Array azimuth: 170°(where 180°is south)
• Estimated annual power production: 5,507kWh
Maximum PV System Voltage: 690.7
Voc= 37.8V/module
37.8V x 8 module=302.4V
Temperature correction factor 690.7(A)
Temperature Coefficient(Voc) = -0.31%/°K
(-60°C(-.0031)= .186%
((.186%x 37.8V)x 8 panels)+302.4V=358.6V
Maximum PV Source Circuit(String) Current: 690.8 (A)(1)
Isc= 8.7A
8.7A x 1.25 = 10.9A
Maximum PV Output Circuit(Array) Current: 690.8 (A)(2)
10.9A x 2 strings=21.8A
Inverter Output Circuit Current: 690.8 (A)(3)
16A @ 208V
