Exhibit A to designate a utility liaison to handle questions and issues that will arise as the Solar City and California Solar Initiative programs are implemented. 3. Program incentives and credits will be provided in four levels of participation based on the PV system contribution to annual electrical energy costs. This is consistent with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Program (LEED) and most other local and regional green building programs. Based on the level of PV participation (see item 4 below), a participant would be given enhanced "green" credits for the level of installed PV that may be included with other green attributes to establish an overall LEED score for compliance with the Cities' Green Building Ordinances and programs. Additional incentives at progressively higher participation levels will include letters of congratulations, press releases recognizing the project and project team members, and formal City Council recognition for participation at the highest levels. 4. Four levels of participation and credits: Livermore Pleasanton • SUNSHINE -The project includes some PV; 1 1 PV contribution at 2.5% of load or less or • POWER -increased PV contribution; 2 2 PV contribution at 2.6 to 7.5% of load or • POWER PLUS - significant PV contribution; 6 7 PV contribution at 7.6 to 25% of load or • POWER PLANT -maximum PV contribution; 10 13 PV contribution at 26% of load or more It is expected that most projects would participate at the lower levels of the program with fewer participants at the higher levels that require a significant financial effort to reach. However, all projects going through the permitting process whether existing or new, large or small will be able to participate at some level of the program. They will also have the flexibility to use the types of systems and designs that meet their specific project needs. 5. The typical sequence for a proposed project in the planning, design and construction process would include: • Program promoted by the City (Website, program brochure, etc.) • Customer expresses interest in participation • Project assigned to City Permit Center • Customer identifies PV potential for project • Customer commits to PV level (% contribution) • Customer pre-qualifies and selects PV designers and installers for the project • Customer coordinates with PG&E • Customer submits final design for permit and as part of the City Green Building Program if applicable • City determines PV Program participation level during plan check and documents level • Customer receives congratulations letter at issuance of the Occupancy permit • Customer receives appropriate Program recognition for project and team members 5050 Laguna Blvd, Suite 112-324, Elk Grove, CA 95758 / 916-213-5978, 916-6847046 (fax) deosol@aol.com (email), CA Lic. #820411
