Dear Mr. Rock: 6.5 kW System
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 three attic
section(s):
• Roof Section 1 (Lower Main House): Built-in-place truss with all chards constructed of 2x8
dimensional lumber at 16"on center.
• Roof Section 2 (Upper Main House): Roof section is composed of 2x8 dimensional lumber at 16"
on center.
• Roof Section 3 (Garage): Prefabricated truss with all chords constructed of 2x4 dimensional
lumber at 24"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. All wood material utilized for the roof system is assumed to be Spruce-Pine-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
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
14, 23, and 31 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
I p ft is calculated for the Interior, Edge and Comer Zones of the
dwelling. g
vivi t. solar
Page 2 of 2
B. Loading Criteria
10 PSF= Dead Load roofingfframing 40 PSF= Live Load (ground 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 2009 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 Y" thick and mounted 4 Y" 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
", 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
Y:"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 fourth panel length when
installed parallel to the trusses (portrait). No panel supports spacing perpendicular to the trusses
shall be greater than four(4)trusses or 64"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 fourth 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 four (4) rafter spaces or
64"o/c,whichever is less.
6. Roof Section (3): Considering the roof slopes, the size, spacing, condition of roof, the panel
supports shall be placed at and attached to no greater than every other panel length when
installed parallel to the trusses (portrait). No panel supports spacing perpendicular to the trusses
shall be greater than two(2)trusses or 48"o/c,whichever is less.
7. Panel supports connections shall be staggered to distribute load to adjacent rafters.
Based on the above evaluation, 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 2009 International
Residential Code, current industry standards and practice, and based on information supplied to us at the time of
this report.

Dear Sir;
I would like to make a complaint about 'dr. Varete who lives at i28*
St.he moved a old Truck trailer body and placed it in his yard,to me it' s
a eye sore in the neighborhood,as we all try to keep our houses presentabl
he also is starting to place junk outside the trailer and at no time the
place will look like a junk yard,as a neighbor i don't want trouble but
i think he thinks he is untouchable,he also is using the property opposite
his house to place his unregistered cars.
Thank You.
