30 Federal Street: Discussion and vote on installation of rooftop solar panels
SRA Decision
At its meeting on September 10, 2014, the SRA voted 5-0 to approve a
September 3, 2014 DRB recommendation to approve the installation of solar
panels atop the roof at 30 Federal Street as presented in a packet dated 8/21/14,
on the condition that a 30th panel be installed in the upper left-hand corner of the
roof, nearest the chimney, in addition to the original 29 that were proposed.,
DRB Recommendation
At its meeting on September 3, 2014 the Design Review Board voted unanimously in
favor of the proposed project to install 29 solar panel atop the roof at 30 Federal
Street conditional upon the applicant adding one additional panel in the upper left-
hand corner to make an even 30 panels.
Staff Comment for SRA Meeting Oth Oth
The applicant has agreed to mount a 3 panel at the request of the DRB. The 3
panel is not shown in the materials enclosed, but the applicant has agreed to install
it.
Proposal for September 3 DRIB Meeting
The applicant proposes to install an array of 29 solar panels atop the south-facing
rooftop at 30 Federal Street, which can be seen while looking toward the IVIBTA
station. According to the scope of work provided starting on page 6 of the enclosed
packet, the system will be flush mounted to the roof. The enclosed rendering show
the panels to be a dark shade of blue.
Staff Comment
The plan on page 7 shows an exterior meter. I will request more information to be
provided from the applicant in regard to the meter and any potential conduits that
may be associated with connecting the panel system to the unit.

Analysis or availability.Please consult with a tax advisor about any tax credits or deductions,including interest
payments.
A measure of energy consumption,it is the amount of energy consumed by a 1000-Watt appliance running for 1
full hour.
Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System- Under this system,the capitalized cost(basis)of tangible property
MACRS is recovered over a specified life by annual deductionsfor depreciation.
An angular measurement in a spherical coordinate system. The vectorfrom an observer(origin)to a point of
Azimuth interest is projected perpendicularly onto a reference plane,the angle between the projected vector and a
reference vector on the reference plane is called the azimuth.
IRR Internal rate of return.The discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash flowsfrom your project
equal to zero.
Calculated by taking intial system investment and subtracting net system costfirom total system cost,offset,
Cumulative cash flow depreciation and taking the absolute value and adding each year back on itself.
Cumulative savings Takenfrom cashflow,summarizing annual cashflow based on savingsfrom,project
Solarponels come with a 25 yearproduction warrantyfrom manufacturer and a ten year manufacturing
Warranty Information warranty,Workmanship and other components generally come with ten year warranties years;See the
individual specification sheetsfor additional details.
Levelized Cost Levelized cost is calculated by dividing the Net Cost by the system production on an annual basis.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Department of Public Safety
Massachusetts State Building Code (780 CMR)
Building Permit Application to Construct, Repair, Renovate or Demolish any
Building other than a One- or Two-Family Dwelling
Code and Other Requirements for Building Permits
The Department of Public Safety has issued these building permit application forms so that municipalities
across the state can move toward use of a single permit form and consistent permit application process.
The MA State Building Code specifies the requirements of building permits and the applicant is advised to
review and be familiar with these requirements in order to avoid some of the common permit application
problems. Likewise the applicant should be aware that some municipalifies require that the owner confirm,
even prior to acceptance of the building permit application, that no outstanding property taxes, water fees,
etc. exist.
Filing Instructions
I.Please contact the city or town where the work will be done to ensure that the city or town will accept
this application form and if any additional information is required, and obtain the correct mailing
address. After doing so, print the application, fill in completely and then submit to the local city or
town where the work will be done.
2.All applications shall be considered complete and will be reviewed if construction documents,
specifications, fee, and other materials that may be required as indicated in the Building Permit
Application are included with the application.
3.Please include a check for the Building Permit fee. The fee may be calculated using the information to
be supplied in section 12 of the Building Permit Application. The check is to be made payable to the
local city or town where the work will be done.
