Failure to respond in a reasonable time to requests for information or unreasonable delays on part of Owner, determined at the sole discretion of Contractor, will be deemed to constitute early contract termination. Once contractor has received a permit from building department, Contractor will notify Owner that the permit has been received and will schedule a date to commence construction work. Owner may delay said construction commencement date a maximum of (30) calendar days from the original commencement date requested by contractor. If Owner either commencement, the contract will be deemed in default and subject to the cancelation terms outlined in article 18 above. In particular, if owner does not permit construction commencement within (30) days of permit issuance and notification by contractor, early project termination phase number 4 above will be deemed, without the service of any written notices If the Owner schedules a delivery date with Contractor, and the materials cannot be delivered on said date due failure caused by the Owner, and the Owner fails to reschedule a delivery date in advance of the prior date, a redelivery fee of $500 will be assessed by Contractor against Owner. Corrective or Repair Work 22. If minor items of corrective or repair work remain to be accomplished by Contractor after the project is ready for occupancy, Contractor shall perform the work expeditiously and Owner shall not withhold any payment pending completion of that work. If major items of corrective or repair work remain to be accomplished after the building is ready for occupancy, and the aggregate cost of that work exceeds one percent of the gross Contract price, then Owner, pending completion of the work, may withhold payment of a sufficient amount to pay for completion of the work, but shall not withhold any greater amount. Warranty 23. Warranty begins following the conclusion of installation, starting on the day that the AHJ grants the final inspection approval. This warranty does not cover force majeure, damage caused by others which shall include but not be limited to, falling trees or branches, power outages, or normal wear and tear or the roof, roof shingle failure, sub-structure failure, siding or electrical system failure.

Goldin Solar is proud to offer best in class warranty durations, a highly responsive service department and fast turn- around times to warranty requestsime effectively and minimize calls about items not related to our work. False warranty claims such as leaks which are unrelated to work by Goldin Solar, claims about defective equipment which is actually working correctly, or claims about work that was modified or tampered with are not valid warranty claims. Since Goldin aspires to respond ASAP to any warranty request, we reserve the right to require a deposit, or a credit card authorization prior to evaluating a warranty claim request. If the warranty claim is valid, Goldin Solar will reimburse the deposit in full and/or not run a credit card authorization. However, if during the site evaluation it is found that the issue requested for evaluation is a false warranty claim, the credit card authorization will be charged for time/travel spent to evaluate the issues and/or the deposit will be charged. Owner understands that Goldin Solar is not responsible to respond to warranty requests until a deposit and/or credit card authorization is received by Goldin Solar. Furthermore, owner understands that Goldin Solar is responsible to fulfill its warranty obligations only so long as owner is on good financial standing with Goldin Solar in regards to contract payment, including change orders and/or invoicing for site evaluations issues found to be unrelated to Goldin Solar.

Technical Disclosures 32. There is great deal of information to understand about solar energy science, technology, power production and rules, and policies that govern solar locally before deciding to go solar. We feel that there are a few items that are critical to understand. Please initial next to each of the following to indicate that you have been informed about said item and attained understanding of it. By initialing each item, you acknowledge that you have had sufficient opportunity to ask and learn about these items. a. - system. This means that battery backup is not included, but may be added on a future date. Grid-tied solar systems will receive a net-meter from the local utility after the installation is complete and permit has been closed out. A grid tied solar system without battery backup may be net-zero but does not provide the home with energy in the event of a power- outage, as the solar inver- -feed of current to a grid that is down and worked on). For the solar system to function as a power source for backup in a power outage, backup batteries will be necessary. Initial: ________ b. The net- and the utility. The Interconnection Agreement will govern the terms of the net metering relationship between the Owner and utility. The particular details of the interconnection agreement will vary from utility to utility, and based on the size of the solar system in kW (Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3) that is being interconnected. The interconnection agreement required by the utility may be accompanied by a one-time fee for the net meter and insurance requirements. Owner has reviewed and understands the interconnection agreement required by their local utility for their relevant solar system size. Initial: ________ c. Solar insolation is an inconsistent energy source which varies seasonally and with daily weather fluctuation. The power output of the solar array is also a function of the tilt and orientation (azimuth) of the solar installation. For maximum energy production, it is important to keep the solar panels free of shade caused by trees, buildings or other sources. Contractor is not responsible for tree trimming or any other shade prevention. For this reason, contractor does not guarantee system power output. However, contractor does provide estimated annual energy output in kWh based on system power rating in kW. To understand the total annual kWh energy output for the system contracted herein, match the system power rating as outlined in Article 1, Item 1, with the annual energy output in kWh in the following table: Power Rating of System (kW) Expected Annual Energy Production (kWh) 5 7,592 7 10,629 10 15,184 12 18,221 15 22,776 20 30,368 25 37,960 The above table is based on 5.2 Peak Sun Hours per day, which is the average daily solar insulation for South Florida, and 80% conversion factor from DC to AC power. Monetary value of energy savings expressed as avoided cost of energy not purchased from utility will vary depending on retail price of energy from the local utility. Initial: ________ d. The solar Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) grants a liability. Eligibility for this tax credit will vary on a case-by-case basis. Owner Initial: _______ Rev. 2-11-2020 Page 9 of 12 eligibility. In addition, the tax credit amount, as a percentage of the contract, will vary depending on what year the tax and placing the energy property in servic extension what percentage of the solar contract Owner will be able to claim the tax credit for. Goldin Solar does not give tax advice and makes no guarantees as to your eligibility to this tax credit. Initial under this paragraph to confirm that you have consulted with your accountant and understand your eligibility to the federal ITC. Initial: ________ e. Contractor makes no representations as to the expense that a homeowner can expect to have on their power bill after the solar system is installed and operational. with energy usage habits. For example, a homeowner may use more energy on existing appliances or buy new electrical appliances, an electrical car, etc. A home may still receive an energy bill with a higher balance even if the solar system was designed for net zero if energy consumption has gone up relative to the baseline when the solar system was sized. Initial: ________ f. The scope of work included in this contract is accompanied by a warranty, which is outlined in section 23 of the contract. Goldin Solar also offers optional service plans, which are not included with this contract and can be purchased separately. These service plans, which can be purchased anytime are as follows: o Silver Plan Extension of the standard warranty beyond the term included in the contract o Gold Plan For customers who wish to have Goldin Solar actively monitor the performance of the solar system and notify them if there is any issue with any part of the solar system. o Platinum Plan For customers who wish to ensure the savings of the energy production and receive reimbursement for down time of the solar system if any part of the solar system does not work. Owner understand that if Silver, Gold or Platinum plans are not purchased, their benefits will not be received with the contract. Unless Gold Plan is purchased, Owner is responsible to monitor the performance of their solar system and is responsible to notify Contractor if there are any issues with production. Unless Platinum Plan is purchased, energy production lost while in the time it takes to replace a part will not be reimbursed. Initial: ________ g. Goldin solar is a Florida certified construction company possessing an electrical license (#EC13008547), solar license (#CVC56965) and roof projects in the scope under the structure that Goldin Solar is under contract with owner and employs qualified individuals.
