Julia,
The wires will be trenched underground. This will feed a combiner panel which will be located
on the back right side of the house and will be on the opposite side of a fence and not visible
from the road. The yard is fenced and the customer is away until 10-12. Dimensions of this are
15”x20”x6”.
See attached photo of the combiner which will be non visible.

Subject: 167 Lake Ave DRB application
Good afternoon,
I am reviewing the application for the installation of solar panels on the detached garage at 167 Lake
Ave.
Please detail how the service panel will connect to the panels as well as the house. Please also submit a
photo of the side of the house where the service panel will be installed so the DRB can determine the
visual impact of the panel.
I will be reviewing this with the Board tomorrow and will let you know if they have any other questions. I
plan on this being on the Oct 7 agenda. Please let me know if a representative cannot of attend.
Thank you,
Julia Destino
