Re: Solar Panel Installation
Dear Mr./Ms. Barnes,
At your request, Patrick Bussett of Venture Solar LLC (MA license #56934), has carefully reviewed the existing roof
framing and the proposed connection of the solar panels to the roof for the building referenced above.
The following building codes were used in conjunction with the 9th Edition of the Massachusetts State Building
Code — 780 CMR to generate pertinent design criteria:
ASCE 7-10 — Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures
International Building Code 2015 Edition (IBC)
National Design Specification for Wood Construction 2015 Edition (NDS)
Design Criteria: Design Gravity Load: Snow/Live Load = 30 Ibs/ftz, Dead Load = 12 psf
Design Wind Load: Vuh = 140 mph; Exposure B, Risk Category II
"Wind loads exceed seismic loads and therefore govern the design
Field observations identified the following conditions:
The new solar panels will impose an additional dead load of approximately 3 psf. Roofs A, B & C consists of asphalt
shingles over plywood sheathing supported by 240 rafters at 16" o.c. The rafters are sloped at a 36' pitch and
have a maximum projected horizontal span of 17'-0"±. Roof D consists of asphalt shingles over plywood sheathing
supported by 2x6 rafters at 24" o.c. The rafters are sloped at a 38' pitch and have a maximum projected horizontal
span of 16'-0"± with an intermediate knee wall support. The framing is assumed to be Douglas -Fir #2 graded or
better.
The calculations determined that the existing framing has adequate capacity to support the PV panels as shown in
our PV panel layout plan with no structural upgrades required. I therefore certify that this installation complies
with the applicable codes and is acceptable for approval. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
or concerns.
Best,
I oo_

Energy Usage and Billing Assumptions
Customer: Peter Barnes
Installation Address: 16 Church St, Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts 02675
FEB 0 s 2"
(A- wev, .
Our goal at Venture Solar is to provide the best customer experience possible by delivering the highest
quality installation and service. We also strive to set proper expectations about your solar energy
system's expected performance and its effect on your future energy usage.
Venture Solar uses the historical energy usage information made available by the customer to calculate
the annual energy kilowatt-hour (kWh) needs and to design the most efficient System possible to
reduce the energy needs from your utility provider within the bounds of any local rules and regulations.
There may be adjustments to the estimated energy needs based on input from the customer such as,
but not limited to, purchasing an electric vehicle, upgrading appliances, or a change to the number of
people living in the home.
Customer acknowledges that Venture determines historical and future energy needs to the best of its
ability based on the information provided but makes no promises or guarantees related to how much
energy the customer will use in the future. Estimated remaining energy needs from your utility provider
are an estimate based on the energy usage in kWh displayed on your proposal. If your energy usage
increases or decreases, it may affect the percentage of energy in kWh that is provided by your System
and resulting utility bills.
Customer acknowledges that utility rates fluctuate and will likely increase over time. If utility rates
increase, the resulting remaining energy in kWh that the customer needs beyond what the System
produces may cost more than originally presented in your proposal. For any avoidance of doubt, if the
cost of power with your utility company increased by $0.05 per kWh and you needed 1,000 kWh
annually beyond what your system energy system produced, you would pay approximately $50 more
per year than expected at the time your proposal was calculated assuming no other changes in your
utility billing structure or plan. Venture Solar includes an assumption of utility rate increases when we
calculate your lifetime savings.

Dear Historic Committee,
I was shocked to receive the request for variance to add 40 solar panels to a roof that abutts my property in the
historic district of Yarmouth Port!
My property will be impacted by the glare and this addition detracts from the historical quality of the
neighborhood. This addition will also set precedent for future modern additions and solar panels.
Recent research has shown that degrading solar panels leach lead and cadium into the atmosphere posing an
environmental debate.
As the committee that protects the historic architecture of this lovely area I hope you will decline this request.

Do solar panels kill birds?
Do solar panels kill birds? Solar panels, both in residential and in solar power plants,
do not kill birds outright. However, it has been observed that some birds are somehow
attracted to the shininess of solar panels, which can resemble moving water when seen
from above. Aquatic bird species, in particular, may mistake the panels for bodies of
water and attempt to dive into the "water," resulting in injury or death.
Despite this issue, it's worth noting that solar panel -related bird deaths are often
exaggerated. In residential areas that are not close to large water bodies, this problem
is less likely to occur. Researchers are currently using Al technology to track and
monitor bird species that are prone to diving into solar panels, with the aim of
preventing such incidents. Importantly, even the National Audubon Society, a
nonprofit organization committed to bird and bird habitat conservation, supports solar
power, indicating that the benefits of this renewable energy source outweigh the
potential risks to birds.
How do solar panels kill birds?
Here we go again with the million -dollar question of "how do solar panels kill birds".
Let's dig in? Solar panels can potentially kill birds through a phenomenon known as
the "lake effect." Migrating waterfowl and shorebirds may perceive the reflective
surfaces of photovoltaic (PV) panels as bodies of water and collide with the structures
as they attempt to land on the panels. However, it is important to note that the effect
of solar panels on bird mortality rates is relatively low compared to other causes, such
as collisions with buildings, vehicles, and power lines or predation by domestic cats.
Utility -scale solar energy facilities, particularly concentrated solar power (CSP)
towers, can also pose a threat to birds. CSP towers use mirrors to concentrate sunlight
onto a central tower, generating intense heat. Birds attracted to the light beam or the
mirrors may be killed by the extreme heat generated by these facilities. However, the
overall impact of solar energy on bird populations is still considered to be much lower
than that of fossil fuel industrial facilities: -power plants, which can cause bird
mortality through collisions, electrocution, and poisoning.
What to do to prevent killing
birds when installing solar panels?
To prevent bird deaths when installing solar panels, consider the following steps:
1. Choose the Right Location for Your PV Solar Panels
Select a site that is not in a known bird migration path or near a nesting area. Avoid
installing solar panels near wetlands, rivers, or other bodies of water, as these are
often critical habitats for birds. Also, consider placing your solar panels on rooftops or
other existing structures to minimize the impact on the surrounding environment.
2. Avoid Using Reflective or Mirrored Panels
Reflective or mirrored solar panels can confuse birds, causing them to collide with the
panels. Instead, opt for solar panels with a matte or non -reflective surface, like
the Anker 625 Solar Panel, which has a lower risk of causing bird collisions.

3. Install Anti -Perching Devices
Birds may perch on solar panels or the structures supporting them, increasing the risk
of collisions or entrapment. Installing anti -perching devices, such as bird spikes or
sloping covers, can help discourage birds from landing on your solar panels.
4. Maintain a Safe Distance Between Panels
2-Uq "
Leaving enough space between solar panels can help prevent birds from becoming
trapped between them. Ensure that the gaps between panels are either too small for
birds to enter or large enough for them to escape easily.
5. Use Bird -Safe Netting or Mesh
If you need to install solar panels close together, consider using bird -safe netting or
mesh to cover the gaps between them. This can help prevent birds from becoming
trapped while still allowing sunlight to reach the panels.
6. Install. Visual Deterrents
Visual deterrents, such as bird -scaring tape or predator decoys, can help discourage
birds from approaching your solar panels. Be sure to change the location of these
deterrents regularly to maintain their effectiveness and prevent solar panels killing
birds.
Conclusion
To wrap up, while solar panels have been associated with bird fatalities, the overall
impact is minimal compared to other human -induced threats. By taking responsible
steps in solar panel installation and maintenance, we can utilize the power of the sun
while preserving our avian friends' safety. Embracing solar energy as a sustainable,
clean power source is essential in the fight against climate change, and with continued
research and advancements in technology, we can strike the perfect balance between
harvesting renewable energy and protecting bird populations. So, let's soar towards a
brighter, greener future, hand in wing with our avian allies!
Here are some commonly asked queries about "Do solar panels kill birds".
Do solar panels attract birds?
Solar panels do not inherently attract birds, as they do not emit any signals or produce
food sources that would entice them. However, some birds may find the flat surfaces
of solar panels suitable for nesting or perching, especially if the panels are installed
near trees or other natural habitats.
Is the disposal of solar panels bad for the envi
ronment?
The disposal of solar panels can be harmful to the environment if not done correctly.
Solar panels contain materials like cadmium, lead, and some other heavy metals that
can be toxic if released into the environment. Proper recycling and disposal methods
are essential to minimize the environmental impact and ensure that valuable materials
are recovered and reused.
Can birds damage solar panels?
While it is relatively rare, birds can potentially cause damage to solar panels. They
may peck at the wiring or scratch the surface of the panels, which can result in
reduced efficiency or even malfunction. Additionally, bird droppings can accumulate
on the panels, reducing their ability to absorb sunlight and produce electricity. Regular
maintenance and cleaning can help prevent and mitigate any potential damage caused
by birds.
