9 <br /> 1 So I think I have covered —talked a little bit about the noise that I wanted to hit. Also, <br /> 2 something that is important just kind of to note—the panels do get dirty over time. And what we <br /> 3 are planning on doing with those panels is they will be washed one to two times per year with <br /> 4 water only. So there will be no chemicals or any type of cleaning agent that will be put on those <br /> 5 panels. So essentially this is going to be a chemical free installation, and we will maintain that <br /> 6 throughout the life of the site. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Mike Fox: Michael, before I ask Mr. Rooks if he has any questions for you, will you confirm, <br /> 9 according to the attorney that you were sworn? <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Michael Wallace: Michael Wallace, I was sworn in. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 David Brooks: Mr. Wallace, I am David Rooks, and I represent some of the residents.

And each site was <br /> 30 given a name as it made it through the process for the North Carolina Utility Commission to <br /> 31 identify each site. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 David Rooks: Binks, LLC is a company is it not? <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Michael Wallace: It is a company, yes, correct. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 David Rooks: A limited liability company. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Michael Wallace: Yes sir. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 David Rooks: And who are the principals of Binks, LLC? <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Michael Wallace: It is going to be Sunlight Partners. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 David Rooks: Okay. Does Sunlight Partners actually own any operating solar farms? <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Michael Wallace: Ah, no, currently—Well let me take that back. They put in a whole array in <br /> 48 California, and I do not know the size of that. They do not currently still operate that. They sold <br /> 49 that off, but I do not know what that number is. <br /> 50 <br />
