4 SnapNrack Mission To provide products and services that simplify the process of installing photovoltaic systems and lower installation costs, maximizing productivity and profits for our customers with top-notch quality 4

5 Overview of Residential Mounting Systems Railless Systems Standard Rail-Based Systems

6 Overview of Residential Mounting Systems Standard Rail-Based Systems Long history within the industry Intuitive and easy to install Works with majority of roof types and modules Provides integrated bonding per row

7 Increasing pressure to drive down costs of components

8 Overview of Residential Mounting Systems Railless Systems Somewhat New Technology Simple to install attachments Typically works with a specific set of modules Provides integrated bonding per array

9 Benefits of Railless Systems There s no long lengths of rail Simplified Logistics Reduced Attachment Installation Time

10 Benefits of Railless Systems Standardized Arrays for simpler installations Simple logistical solution for transporting material to/from jobs and on/off the roof Boxes No long sticks of rail Reduced Installation Time

11 What to Look for in a Railless Solution Simple and Intuitive Design Engineered for Your Market Clear and Effective Plan for Wire Management Aesthetic Considerations Technical Support

12 SnapNrack RL RL is designed to achieve the lowest possible installed cost without compromising performance, quality, or aesthetics. RL is the most Intuitive and Fastest Mounting System in the Industry. 12

13 Simple and Intuitive Product Functionality All hardware is tightened with a ½ socket Modules can be removed from an installed array without removing entire rows or columns of modules Unique install process simplifies one-man module installation Installer Safety No need to reach over rows of modules to tighten clamps Hardware is tightened from above and outside of array

14 SnapNrack RL Component Overview - Simple as ABC A Mounts B Mounts Complete System Solution Industry Leading 20 Year Warranty C Link Clamp Umbrella Bolt Sealing 14

15 SnapNrack RL Components Flash Track Umbrella Lag secures Flash Track and flashing to the roof. Single lag screw secures flashing, base, and mount assembly to the roof. Umbrella bolt technology provides 20 year weatherproofing 15

16 SnapNrack RL Components A and B Mounts Mounts simply rock into Flash Track and snap into channel Mounts are secured into Flash Track by tightening channel nut Mount slides along Flash Track for North-South adjustability 16

17 SnapNrack RL Components A & B Mounts SLEEVE SLEEVE CLAMP A Mount sleeves bottom edge of first row in array B Mounts connect rows of modules All Mounts are module frame height specific (32mm, 35mm, 38mm, 40mm) Mounts slide along Flash Track for North-South adjustability, and include slot for 1.5 of vertical adjustability for leveling 17

18 SnapNrack RL Components C Links Aluminum sleeve provides high strength connection and aesthetic feature Stainless Steel clamp bonds modules and creates rigid structure C Links provide bonding and structural connection between two modules in a row Drain slots are provided that line up with module drain holes C Links are specific to a module height, but not to any specific manufacturer or frame type 18

19 Module Installation Procedure A Mounts B Mounts Ridge Mounts

20 Module Installation Procedure String Line Feature Align flashing with pilot hole Drive Lag into rafter Align A Mount with array layout Level and align A Mounts

21 Module Installation Procedure Lower module into sleeve Attach B Mount/s to module Clamp C link on module Lower second module into sleeve and attach B Mount/s to module Clamp C link on both modules Start second row of modules

22 SnapNrack Wire Management New Smartclip provides intuitive wire management at any point along the module Easily tucks wires away within the module envelope to avoid any unintended removal over time 22

23 SnapNrack Wire Management Wire Saver provides the ability to secure loose wires post module install Perfect for last minute wire management 23

24 Module Level Power Electronics MLPE Frame Attachment Kit provides secure method of attaching electronics to module frames Included Smartclip helps to secure wires 24

25 Wire Management Strategies Standard String Inverter Wiring

26 Wire Management Strategies DC Optimizer String Wiring

27 Wire Management Strategies AC Trunk Cable Wiring

28 The Importance of Technical Support and Training New array layout strategies New module installation operations New wire management strategies New design requirements New online design tools An expert team of technical training specialists up on the roof during initial installs

29 Loading Characteristics Attachment Spacing Requirements That Minimize Installation Time Capable of 6 Foot Spans in Most Locations

30 Digital Tools Available Online Configuration Tool Easily configure array layout online Tool produces Bill of Materials for your specific job displaying all components required Inputs available for different modules, snow load, wind speed, rafter spacing, etc. 30

31 The Importance of an Aesthetic Solution Unique A Mount and C Link designs provide clean looking front of array without a skirt Sleek black finish makes the SnapNrack RL system blend into the array 100% optional skirt available

32 All the Mounting Solutions for Your Business A company that knows your business has varying needs and provides you solutions for those different situations
