It is my understanding that solar panels weighing approximately 4 pounds per square foot(psf)are proposed to be installed on south-facing side of the main-roof. Per your inspection and layout plan, the roof is framed with 2x8 rafters spaced at 16" on center, spanning 14'-0" horizontally from outside wall to ridge. The rafters slope at a 7:12 pitch. The Massachusetts Amendment to the 2009 International Residential Building Code snow chart indicates the design ground snow load in Salem is 40 pounds per square foot(psf), which translates to a flat roof snow load of 28 psf. The roof dead loads of the rafters/sheathing/shingles are approximately 10 psf and the addition of the solar panels results in a total dead load of 14 psf and overall total load 42 psf. For this evaluation, it was assumed the roof members are typical spruce-pine-fir mix, No. 2 or better. Our calculations indicate that the 2x8 rafters are stressed to 91% of their total bending capacity under the code-required snow loading plus the existing dead loads with the new solar panels. Therefore it is my opinion the solar panels can be safely installed without reinforcement of the roof framing. The above opinion is based on the above information provided by you and the assumption that the framing members are in sound condition. Any deviations from the above criteria discovered during the course of the work must be immediately brought to our attention. Please call me with any questions. Thomas Leonard, P.E.
