5.88 System
Dear Mr. Rock:
Pursuant to your request, we have reviewed the following information regarding solar panel installation on
the roof of the above referenced home:
1. Site Visit/Verification Form prepared by a Vivint Solar representative identifying specific
site information including size and spacing of rafters for the existing roof structure.
2. Design drawings of the proposed system including a site plan, roof plan and connection
details for the solar panels. This information was prepared by the Design Group and will
be utilized for approval and construction of the proposed system.
3. Photovoltaic Rooftop Solar System Permit Submittal identifying design parameters for the
solar system.
4. Photographs of the interior and exterior of the roof system identifying existing structural
members and their conditions.
Based on the above information we have evaluated the structural capacity of the existing roof system to
support the additional loads imposed by the solar panels and have the following comments related to our
review and evaluation:
Description of Residence:
The existing residence is typical wood framing construction with the roof system consisting of two roof
section:
• Roof Section 1 (Main House): Roof section is composed of 48 dimensional lumber at 60" on
center. The attic space is unfinished and the photos indicate that there was free access to visually
inspect the size and condition of the roof rafters.
• Roof Section 2 (Main House): Roof section is composed of 2x6 dimensional lumber at 16" on
center with 1x8 collar ties every 32". The attic space is unfinished and the photos indicate that
there was free access to visually inspect the size and condition of the roof rafters.
All wood material utilized for the roof system is assumed to be Hem-Fir #2 or better with standard
construction components. Our review of the photos of the exterior roof does not indicate any signs of
settlement or misalignment caused by overstressed underlying members.
Stability Evaluation:
A. Wind Uplift Loading
vivi t.
Page 2 of 3
1. Refer to attached Ecolibrium Solar calculations sheet for ASCE/SEI 7-10 Minimum Design Loads
for Buildings and other Structures, wind speed of 100 mph based on Exposure Category"B" and
15 degree roof slopes on the dwelling areas. Ground snow load is 40 PSF for Exposure "B", Zone
2 per (ASCE/SE17-10).
2. Total area subject to wind uplift is calculated for the Interior, Edge and Corner Zones of the
dwelling.
B. Loading Criteria
10 PSF= Dead Load roofing/framing 40 PSF=Live Load (around snow load)
5 PSF=Dead Load solar panels/mounting hardware
Total Dead Load=15 PSF
The above values are within acceptable limits of recognized industry standards for similar structures
and in accordance with the 2012 International Residential Code. Analysis
performed of the existing roof structure utilizing the above loading criteria indicates that the existing
rafters will support the additional panel loading without damage, if installed correctly.
C. Roof Structure Capacity
1. The photographs provided of the attic space and roof rafters show that the framing is in good
condition with no visible signs of damage caused by prior overstressing.
D. Solar Panel Anchorage
1. The solar panels shall be mounted in accordance with the most recent "Ecolibrium Solar
Installation Manual',which can be found on the Ecolibrium Solar website (ecolibriumsolar.com). If
during solar panel installation, the roof framing members appear unstable or deflect non-
uniformly, our office should be notified before proceeding with the installation.
2. The solar panels are 1 1/2"thick and mounted 4 Y2"off the roof for a total height off the existing roof
of 6". At no time will the panels be mounted higher that 6"above the existing plane of the roof.
3. Maximum allowable pullout per lag screw is 235 Ibs/inch of penetration as identified in the
National Design Standards (NDS) of timber construction specifications for Hem-Fir (North
Lumber) assumed. Based on our evaluation, the pullout value, utilizing a penetration depth of 2
1/2", is less than the maximum allowable per connection and therefore is adequate. Based on the
variable factors for the existing roof framing and installation tolerances, using a thread depth of 2
IlF with a minimum size of 5/16" lag screw per attachment point for panel anchor mounts will be
adequate with a sufficient factor of safety.
4. Roof Section (1): Considering the roof slopes, the size, spacing, condition of roof, the panel
supports shall be placed at and attached to no greater than every roof rafter as panels are
installed perpendicular across rafters and no greater than the panel length when installed parallel
to the rafters (portrait). No panel supports spacing shall be greater than one (1) rafter spaces or
60"o/c, whichever is less.
5. Roof Section (2): Considering the roof slopes, the size, spacing, condition of roof, the panel
supports shall be placed at and attached to no greater than every third roof rafter as panels are
installed perpendicular across rafters and no greater than the panel length when installed parallel
to the rafters (portrait). No panel supports spacing shall be greater than three (3) rafter spaces or
48"o/c,whichever is less.
6. Panel supports connections shall be staggered to distribute load to adjacent rafters.
Based on the above evaluation, it is the opinion of this office that with appropriate panel anchors being
utilized the roof system will adequately support the additional loading imposed by the solar panels. This
evaluation is in conformance with the 2012 International Residential Code, current industry standards and
practice, and based on information supplied to us at the time of this report.
Should you have any questions regarding the above or if you require further information do not hesitate to
contact me.
