The array shall be installed on the structures specified and suitably sized for the array output required and the given roof area available. The system's photovoltaic array shall provide a peak (DC) power at Standard Test Conditions and in combination of modular panels to produce approximately 82,000 kW annually of electrical power to feed the group of buildings with excess wattage returned back to the utility grid. Estimated number of Solar Module Panels is 315 for the avilable space. All roof membrane penetrations to install the mounting bracket for the solar panels and all associated hardware shall be flashed and sealed to prevent water intrusion. The lightweight system shall function as a solar power plant and shall not exceed 4 lbs/sq ft.
