DEALER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

(SUNPOWER RESIDENTIAL SOLAR LEASE PROGRAM)

This DEALER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is deemed to be effective as of the later of August 1, 2014 or the date the Agreement is signed by both parties (“Effective Date”) between Solarmax Renewable Energy Provider, Inc., a Corporation (type of entity) organized under the laws of California (state), with its principal place of business at <account address> (“Dealer”) and SunPower Corporation, Systems, a Delaware corporation (“SunPower”).

Dealer has been accepted by SunPower as one of a select group of SunPower authorized solar lease originators and installers to participate in SunPower’s residential solar system leasing program (the “Lease Program”). Dealer and SunPower wish to set forth in this Agreement the terms and conditions with respect to Dealer’s participation in the Lease Program.

SunPower shall act as the developer of a project in which a SunPower photovoltaic system (each a “System”) will be installed and interconnected by Dealer and, in connection therewith, a Lease Agreement to be entered into between an affiliate of SunPower (“Lessor”) and a residential customer (“Lessee”) (in each case, the “Lease”). SunPower shall pay Dealer fees for lease origination, design, procurement, administration, installation, and interconnection services (collectively, “Services”), concurrently with Dealer’s delivery of the applicable invoices for such Services and other required documentation, as further described below.

To the extent that Dealer entered into a dealer participation agreement with respect to the Lease Program prior to this Agreement, Dealer and SunPower hereby acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall amend and replace such previous dealer participation agreement in its entirety on the Effective Date for all Leases signed by Customers on or after August 1, 2014.

Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound, Dealer and SunPower agree as follows:

8

| (l) | F or the avoidance of doubt, the following actions are in direct violation of the Lease Program:

| (i) | including any improvements to the premises, including roof upgrades or repairs, or other work outside of installation of the System within the Lease Program, including the fees costs or fees related to such upgrades or repairs; any such work shall be separately arranged between Dealer and the Lessee and not be included in the Dealer Fees or any other portion of the Lease Program and shall be paid for by Lessee at a reasonable cost;
| (ii) | providing cash back or other incentives to Lessees in connection with their participation in the Lease Program; and
| (iii) | using loan proceeds or other third party financing to finance all or any portion of the Lease.

The Parties hereby agree that the sum of all Dealer Fees and the current market price of the SunPower Equipment to be supplied to Dealer (based upon the then current price list under the Dealer Agreement) shall not exceed $7.00 per watt DC. SunPower reserves the right to adjust this fee limitation, or implement any other fee limitation with respect to an individual Service, at any time in its sole discretion upon reasonable notice to Dealer. The Dealer Fees include all federal, state, county, municipal and other taxes imposed by law and based upon labor, services, materials, equipment or other items acquired, performed, furnished or used for or in connection with the Services. Where the law requires any such taxes to be stated and charged separately, the total Dealer Fees plus the amount of such taxes shall not exceed the amount included in the proposal tool in accordance with clause (b) below.
| (b) | Dealer will enter into the SunPower proposal tool either the full system price that Dealer would normally charge a homeowner to sell them the System or the Dealer Fees related to each System. In the case where the Dealer enters a full system price, SunPower will impute the Dealer Fees that will be owed to the Dealer by subtracting the current market price of the SunPower Equipment to be supplied to Dealer (based upon the current price list at the time that the Lease is generated for the Lessee). SunPower will confirm fees to be paid to Dealer via the Lease Document Acknowledgment document generated for each Lease. Dealer Fees will be initially be broken down and paid by SunPower according to the payment schedule:

|  | SunPower reserves the right to modify this split in its sole discretion upon reasonable notice to the Dealer. The “Installation Completion Payment” will include the Dealer Fees for Services for lease origination, design, procurement of Dealer Equipment and installation. The “Interconnection Completion Payment” will include Dealer Fees for Services for interconnection of the System. No payment (final or otherwise) made under or in connection with this Agreement shall be conclusive evidence of the performance of the Services, in whole or in part, and no such payment shall be construed to be an acceptance of defective, faulty or improper work or materials nor shall it release Dealer from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

10

| (c) | SunPower shall pay the Dealer Fees in the amounts invoiced by Dealer in accordance with the payment schedule described in Exhibit D to this Agreement (“Payment Schedule”) within 30 days after SunPower’s approval of such invoice. SunPower will only approve invoices that adhere to the terms and conditions herein and where Dealer has provided SunPower with all of the documentation required by the Payment Schedule for such payment, in accordance with the timeline and other terms detailed in Exhibit D. Dealer’s acceptance of the Interconnection Completion Payment shall constitute a waiver of any and all claims by Dealer with respect to such System. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that the submittal of documentation in accordance with Exhibit D is a material obligation of this Agreement and Dealer’s failure to comply will entitle SunPower to its exercise of remedies in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law.
| (d) | Liens. Upon payment by SunPower of any invoice, Dealer shall promptly pay its relevant supplier amounts due with respect to the Services reflected in the invoice. Dealer shall be responsible to keep the Premises clear and free from all liens placed on the Premises by any supplier or Dealer with respect to Services provided by Dealer, and to defend, discharge or bond any such liens as soon as reasonably practicable. If any claim or lien is made or filed with or against SunPower, Lessor or Lessee by any person claiming that Dealer has failed to make payment for any labor, services, materials, equipment, taxes or other items or obligations furnished or incurred for or in connection with the Services or if Dealer fails to perform or is otherwise in default under any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether before or after Interconnection Completion Payment is made, SunPower shall have the right: (i) to retain from any payment then due or thereafter to become due or require a refund of an amount which it deems sufficient to (A) satisfy, discharge and/or defend against any such claim or lien or any action which may be brought or judgment which may be recovered thereon, (B) make good any such nonpayment, damage, failure or default and/or (C) compensate SunPower, Lessor or Lessee for and indemnify and hold them harmless against any and all losses, liability, damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees and disbursements, which may be sustained or incurred by either or both of them in connection therewith; and (ii) to demand that Dealer provide, within 10 days of SunPower’s request, proof to the satisfaction of SunPower, Lessor or Lessee that such non-payment, claim or lien has been fully satisfied, dismissed and discharged.
| (e) | SunPower shall have the right to set-off any amounts due and owing by Dealer under the Dealer Agreement. Dealer hereby expressly irrevocably agrees to waive any right of lien, set-off or counterclaim against SunPower and will not purport to exercise such rights (if any) in respect of the matters that are the subject of this Agreement.
| (f) | SunPower shall be responsible for the collection and payment of sales or use tax related to the leasing of the Systems to Lessees. SunPower will issue a resale certificate to Dealer upon request.

| (k) | Dealer agrees to pay SunPower the monthly fees stipulated in Exhibit E in a manner consistent with Dealer’s participation in the SunPower Dealer Program and the Dealer Agreement (e.g. a debit memo). The fees are necessary to defray some, but not all, of SunPower’s cost to provide the Lease Program. These fees may be waived in whole or in part for an introductory period or for any other reason at SunPower’s sole discretion.
| (l) | Dealer Responsibility for Safe Performance of the Services. During the performance of the Services, Dealer shall be responsible for the safety of the persons at the Premises and for the safe performance of the Services.

10. | LIMITED WARRANTIES

| Dealer shall provide SunPower with the following warranties with respect to the System (each a “Limited Warranty” and, collectively, the “Limited Warranties”). Please note that the Limited Warranties are subject to exclusions and disclaimers specified in Section 10(d) below. Dealer agrees that its duties and obligations under the Limited Warranties described below shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and the Dealer Agreement.
| (a) | Installation, Workmanship, Defects and Roof Warranties.

| (i) | Installation Warranty: Dealer warrants for a period of one (1) year following the Lease Term Start Date (as defined in the Lease) that the System will be installed in the manner described in Section 6 above; provided that, if the System is located in Arizona, Dealer will provide this installation warranty for two (2) years following the Lease Term Start Date in accordance with the Lease and comply with the requirements of the Registrar of Contractors, which includes filing of its warranty.
| (ii) | Workmanship; Defects Warranty: Dealer warrants that, under normal use and service conditions, the System will conform to the requirements of this Agreement and the Lease Documents upon the date of installation and will be free from defects in workmanship or defects in, or a breakdown of, materials or components during the System Warranty Period (as defined below). This warranty will run from the Lease Term Start Date for ten (10) years (the “System Warranty Period”).
| (iii) | Roof Warranty: Dealer warrants, and acknowledges that such warranty shall be passed through by SunPower to Lessor and from Lessor to Lessee(s) in accordance with the Lease, that, if in the course of the installation work Dealer is required to penetrate the roof of the Premises and thereby cause damage to areas of the roof that are within a three (3) inch radius of roof penetrations, Dealer will repair such damage for the benefit of the Lessee(s) during the Roof Warranty Period (as defined below). This roof warranty will run from the date Dealer begins installation of the System at the Premises through the longer of (i) one (1) year following the Lease Term Start Date and (ii) the length of any existing warranty on the roof of the Premises up to but not exceeding five (5) years (the “Roof Warranty Period”).

| (b) | Repair Promise. During the applicable Warranty Period as specified in Section 10(a) above, Dealer will: (i) respond to customer product or system field issues, (ii) contact SunPower Technical Support from the field to determine if issue is caused by a product malfunction or a workmanship malfunction and (iii) repair or replace any defective part, material or component not supplied by SunPower or correct any defective workmanship, at no cost or expense to SunPower, Lessor or Lessee (including all labor costs). In the case of SunPower Equipment warranty claim, the Dealer will correct the condition by means of SunPower’s standard Return Materials Authorization (“RMA”) process and can submit request for compensation under the RMA process, as set forth in the Program Materials.

14

| (c) | Ass i gnment of Manufac turer s’ War ranti es ; Assignment of Limited Warranties. To the extent permitted by the terms thereof, Dealer shall assign, upon transfer of title in accordance with Section 5(c), to SunPower, as the legal owner of the System, the limited warranties from the manufacturers of any System components not supplied by SunPower (the “ Ma nuf act ur er s’ War ranti es ”). To the extent that Dealer performs warranty repair work or provides warranty replacement(s) to SunPower, Dealer reserves the right to make a corresponding claim (if available) under any such Manufacturers’ Warranties and SunPower agrees to provide the support required by the System owner with respect to such Manufacturers’ Warranties. Dealer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Limited Warranties may be assigned to any legal owner of the System upon transfer of title of the System to such future owner.
| (d) | Exclusions and Disclaimers. The Limited Warranties do not apply to any lost electricity production or any repair, replacement or correction required due to the following:

| (i) | someone other than Dealer or a subcontractor specifically approved by SunPower (an “approved subcontractor”) installed, constructed, tested, removed, re- installed or repaired the System;
| (ii) | destruction or damage to the System or its ability to safely produce energy not caused by Dealer or its approved subcontractor while servicing the System (for example, a tree falls on the System not due to any negligence of Dealer);
| (iii) | any event or condition beyond Dealer’s control that is a Force Majeure Event (as defined below);
| (iv) | a power or voltage surge caused by someone other than Dealer including a grid supply voltage outside of the standard range specified by the local utility or the System specifications or as a result of a local power outage or curtailment;
| (v) | shading from foliage that is new growth or is not kept trimmed to the same condition as on the date the System was installed;
| (vi) | any system failure not caused by a System defect (such as making roof repairs that affect the System); or
| (vii) | theft of the System.
|  | “Force Majeure Event” means any event, condition or circumstance beyond Dealer’s control and not caused by Dealer or its subcontractor’s fault or negligence. Included among such events would be failure or interruption of the installation of the System or production of electricity by the System due to: an act of god; war (declared or undeclared); sabotage; riot; insurrection; civil unrest or disturbance; military or guerilla action; terrorism; economic sanction or embargo; civil strike, work stoppage, slow-down, or lock-out; explosion; fire; earthquake; abnormal weather condition or actions of the elements (including abnormal lack of or abnormally inadequate sunshine); hurricane; flood; lightning; wind; drought; the binding order of any governmental authority; the failure on the part of any governmental authority to issue a required permit (provided we have timely applied for such permit); unavailability of electricity from the utility grid, equipment, supplies or products; and failure of equipment not utilized by us or under our control (not including the System - that is, defective or faulty components of the System are not a Force Majeure Event).

15

| (e) | Specific Rights. This Agreement gives SunPower or assignee specific rights, and SunPower or such assignee may also have other rights which may vary from state to state. This Agreement does not warrant any specific electrical performance of the System.
| (f) | Making a Claim. If SunPower or assignee believes it has a claim under a Limited Warranty (either through the monitoring of the SMS or through notification by a homeowner), SunPower or such assignee must give Dealer notice of such claim describing the problem it believes gives rise to the claim, in accordance with Section 20 below.
| (g) | Transfer of Warranty. Dealer will accept and honor any valid and properly submitted claim under a Limited Warranty made during the applicable warranty period by any person to whom SunPower or other legal owner properly transfers or assigns the Lease or leases the System. Dealer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Manufacturers’ Warranties may be transferred or assigned to any person to whom SunPower or other legal owner properly transfers or assigns the Lease or leases the System.
| (h) | Maintenance and Operation. When called upon by SunPower, Dealer shall provide maintenance and/or repair services for the System not covered by the Limited Warranties, at the fees and response times specified in the following table:

| Service |  | Fee Per On- Site Visit |  |  | Required On-site Response Time |
| Inverter Repair or Replacement |  | $ | 250 |  |  | 5 business days |
| Visual System Inspection & Checklist |  | $ | 250 |  |  | 7 business days |
| Monitoring Connectivity Troubleshooting |  | $ | 150 |  |  | 10 business days |

|  | Such maintenance services shall include, but not be limited to, removing and securing the System as necessary while the Lessee makes repairs to the Premises. For the avoidance of doubt, all other inspections, troubleshooting, or on-site analysis required to investigate or correct a failure by Dealer to conform to any warranty provided hereunder, including representations of System design and site conditions within the output expectations and the Limited Warranties provided by Dealer on installation, materials, and workmanship, shall be provided by Dealer in a timely manner, but in no event later than ten (10) days after SunPower alerts Dealer about such Dealer failure, at no cost to SunPower. Furthermore, if the System fails to pass the SPVT (as described in Exhibit F attached hereto) or the System connectivity fails for any reason not related to the failure of SunPower Equipment within 30 days of System interconnection, then Dealer agrees to provide maintenance and/or repair services for the System at the response times specified in the Service table above in this Section 10(h) at no charge to SunPower.
| (i) | THE LIMITED WARRANTIES DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION 10 ARE THE ONLY EXPRESS WARRANTIES MADE BY DEALER WITH RESPECT TO THE SYSTEM. DEALER HEREBY DISCLAIMS, AND ANY BENEFICIARY OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY HEREBY WAIVES, ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY COST SAVINGS FROM USING THE SYSTEM.

16

11. | DEFAULT; TERMINATION

| (a) | (i) Default. Dealer will be in default under this Agreement should it at any time, whether before or after final payment, (i) refuse or neglect to supply a sufficiency of skilled workers or materials of the proper quality and quantity within five (5) days, unless this Agreement indicates otherwise, of SunPower’s request for work to be performed in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) fail in any respect to prosecute the Services with promptness and diligence, (iii) fail in the performance of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or of the other Lease Documents or (iv) institute or have instituted against it a case under Title 11 of the United States Code or file for an arrangement or reorganization, become insolvent, be adjudicated bankrupt, go into liquidation or dissolution, either voluntarily or involuntarily or under a court order, or make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or otherwise acknowledge insolvency. (ii) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any of such events described in Section 11(a)(i) above, each of which shall constitute a default hereunder on Dealer’s part, SunPower shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement and the other Lease Documents or by law, after three days’ written notice to Dealer, (A) to perform and furnish through itself or through others any such labor or materials for the Services and to deduct the cost thereof from any monies due or to become due to Dealer under this Agreement, (B) retain from any payment then due or to become due to compensate SunPower for any and all losses, liability, damages, costs and expenses which may be sustained or incurred in connection with Dealer’s default and/or (C) o terminate this Agreement in accordance herewith, enter upon the premises and take possession, for the purpose of completing the Services, of all materials, equipment, scaffolds, tools, appliances and other items thereon, all of which Dealer hereby transfers, assigns and sets over to SunPower for such purpose, and to employ any person or persons to complete the Services and provide all the labor, services, materials, equipment and other items required therefore.
| (b) | Termination.

| (i) | Either party to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement by providing thirty (30) days written notice to the other. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, SunPower may terminate this Agreement and Dealer’s participation in the Lease Program at any time and for any reason. In the event of such termination, Dealer shall be entitled to receive as its sole remedy, payment for Services properly executed prior to the effective date of termination.
| (ii) | Should SunPower terminate this Agreement upon a default by Dealer in accordance with clause (a), Dealer shall not be entitled to receive any further payment under this Agreement until the Services shall be wholly completed to the satisfaction of SunPower and shall have been accepted by SunPower at which time, (A) if the unpaid balance of the amount to be paid under this Agreement shall exceed the cost and expense incurred by SunPower in completing the Work, such excess shall be paid by SunPower to the Dealer, and (B) if such cost and expense shall exceed such unpaid balance, then the Dealer shall pay the difference to SunPower. Such cost and expense shall include, not only the cost of completing the Services to the satisfaction of SunPower and of performing and furnishing all labor, services, materials, equipment, and other items required therefore, but also all losses, damages, costs and expenses, (including legal fees and disbursements incurred in connection with reprocurement, in defending claims arising from such default and in seeking recovery of all such cost and expense from the Dealer and/or its surety), and disbursements sustained, incurred or suffered by reason of or resulting from Dealer’s default. Should SunPower take action by effectuating the provisions of this paragraph, and should it subsequently be determined that a termination effectuated by the terms of this paragraph was improper, such termination shall be treated as a termination for convenience pursuant to paragraph (i) above.
| (iii) | Upon the termination of this Agreement, regardless of the cause for such termination, Dealer shall return all uninstalled SunPower Equipment delivered to Dealer under this Agreement within 30 days of the applicable termination date. If any uninstalled SunPower Equipment is not received by SunPower within such time period, then SunPower will invoice Dealer for the fair market value price, determined in SunPower’s sole discretion, of the unreturned SunPower Equipment and Dealer will be responsible for the immediate payment of such invoice.

18. | DISPUTES; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
| If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement or its breach, the parties shall endeavor to settle the dispute first through direct discussions. If the dispute cannot be resolved through direct discussions, the parties shall participate in mediation under the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before recourse to any other form of binding dispute resolution. The location of the mediation shall be in a mutually acceptable time and in San Jose, California. Once a party files a request for mediation with the other party and with AAA, the parties agree to commence such mediation within 30 days of filing of the request. Engaging in mediation is a condition precedent to any other form of binding dispute resolution.

20

| Following such mediation procedures, if a dispute still exists Dealer agrees that all actions arising under this Agreement or otherwise must be commenced in the state or federal court of general jurisdiction located closest to SunPower’s then current principal business address, and Dealer irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of those courts and waives any objection it might have to either the jurisdiction of or venue in those courts or that such courts provide an inconvenient forum. Nonetheless, Dealer agrees that SunPower may enforce this Agreement in the courts of the state in which Dealer maintains its principal business address.
| TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT IS IT PERMITTED TO DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, OR STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS RELATED TO THE LEASE PROGRAM.
19. | CONFIDENTIALITY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

| (c) | SunPower grants the Dealer a revocable, non-exclusive, royalty free, or fully paid-up, license in the US to use the IP owned or licensed by SunPower (or its affiliates) prior to the date of this Agreement and which IP is provided to the Dealer for the purpose of supplying the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (“SunPower Background IP”). SunPower Background IP is granted to the Dealer solely to the extent necessary, for the duration necessary, and for the sole purpose of provision of Services.
| (d) | Dealer acknowledges and agrees that all IP created in the provision of the Services vests immediately on its creation in and remains the property of SunPower. To the extent any IP arises under copyright law, it is to be considered “Work for Hire”.

21

| (e) | In providing the Services, Dealer must not, and must procure that the Dealer’s personnel do not, breach the IP rights or other protected rights of SunPower or any third party. If any of those rights are breached, Dealer hereby indemnifies SunPower against any claim, action, loss or damage SunPower may suffer arising out of the breach and must, if requested by SunPower, assume the defense of any suit, claim or action brought against SunPower for infringement of any third party IP rights, including any patents and the wrongful use of proprietary information.
| (f) | Dealer grants SunPower and any subsequent owner a royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify and adapt all Dealer Background IP which subsists in the Services or is provided in connection with the Services in order to allow SunPower and any subsequent owner to enjoy the full benefit and use of the Services.

Invoice Submission Requirements.

Dealer shall submit the documentation described above to SunPower within the following timeframes listed below. Prior to SunPower remitting payment to Dealer, the required documents must also be approved by SunPower to ensure that the Dealer is satisfying all compliance requirements:

a) Stage 1 (Origination & Installation Submittals):

Dealer shall submit all Stage 1 required documentation to SunPower within 30 calendar days from SunPower’s delivery of all installation materials; provided Dealer shall not be in breach of its submission obligation hereunder to the extent a delay is directly caused by a delay in obtaining permits and provided Dealer has (A) complied with all filing and application requirements and deadline of the relevant municipality or county authority and (B) otherwise used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such permits, including coordinating and cooperating with such municipality and county authorities.

29

b) Stage 2 (Interconnection Submittals):

Dealer shall submit all Stage 2 required documentation to SunPower within 14 calendar days of the applicable utility provider issuing its PTO notice.

c) Stage 3 (Unconditional Final Lien Waiver Submittal)

Dealer shall submit all Stage 3 required documentation (the unconditional final lien waiver) within 14 calendar days of the Dealer’s receipt of the Interconnection Completion Payment from SunPower.

If more than 10% of leases do not comply with any combination of the above submission requirements, then SunPower may, among other remedies available, withhold 10% of the invoice payments of leases not meeting submission requirements and/or withhold shipment of further SunPower Equipment until the required documentation has been submitted. SunPower also reserves the right to suspend Dealer from the Lease Program, after which Dealer may be re-enrolled in the Lease Program at SunPower’s sole discretion. For clarification purposes, the percent of leases in non-compliance with any of the above submission requirements shall be calculated as follows: total number of leases that do not adhere to the invoice submission requirements specified above divided by the total number of leases where Dealer has (a) received installation materials from SunPower and (b) not submitted the unconditional final lien waiver to SunPower.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Dealer shall comply with the Lease Installation Requirements document located in the Program Materials, including but not limited to the following:

| 1. | Dealer must install a SunPower Monitoring System (“SMS”), which shall measure, record and display energy production data of the System, in one of the following configurations: (a) hardwired by connecting the data logger directly to the home local area network (“LAN”); or (b) by using a powerline network adaptor to communicate between the data logger and the Lessee LAN. After commissioning SMS, Dealer shall assist Lessee in creating a user account within the SMS website (http://www.sunpowermonitor.com or http://monitor.us.sunpower.com). Dealer acknowledges that SunPower requires the SMS be operational and transmitting information to SunPower, and that Lessee must have at least one user account registered in the SMS website, as a condition of payment by SunPower of Interconnection Completion Payment.
| 2. | SunPower requires an external AC Disconnect in order to provide a means to lock the system out to prevent it being switched on prematurely (pre lease agreement execution) and thus invalidating the tax status. It also serves as a means for the System to be locked out should the Lessee default on a lease payment.
|  | Approved AC disconnects are Square D by Schneider Electric, SIEMMENS, Cutler-Hammer, Eaton or other equivalent products that have Underwriters LaboratoriesÒ (ULÒ), CSA or other Recognized Independent Testing Lab listing for use on dc applications when properly wired.

System will be sized with optimum matching between dc array capacity and ac inverter capacity. This may require the installation more than one inverter unit.

In the case of several roof orientations, Dealer shall use either multi-mppt channel inverters or separate inverters.

System Performance Verification

After Dealer completes the installation of a System, but prior to SunPower’s approval of the Interconnection Completion Payment, SunPower will perform a remote System performance verification test (“SPVT”) to ensure that the System is operating and reporting energy data as expected. If the System is unable to pass this SPVT, in SunPower’s sole discretion, after a minimum of 3 consecutive days of SPVT testing, then SunPower will instruct Dealer and Dealer agrees to troubleshoot the System and resolve any issues that may be affecting the System’s performance. Dealer acknowledges that the Interconnection Completion Payment will not be paid until the System successfully passes the SPVT over a minimum testing period of 3 consecutive days.
