Re: Solar Panel Installation
Gardiner Residence
44 Balcomb Street
Salem, MA 01970
Dear Sirs.
I've reviewed the proposed solar panel installation at this location to evaluate the existing roof
structure and the connection of the panels to the roof.
Criteria: Applicable codes: 8°i Edition Residential Code(2009 International Residential
Code with Massachusetts Amendments)
2001 Wood frame Construction Manual
Design roof'load: 35 psf live load, 10 psf dead load, 45 psi-total load
Design wind load: 100 mph,35 psi',- Exposure Category '13'
My findings are as follows.
I. The new solar panels will imply an additional dead load of 3 psf. The existing roof structure
(2x8 roof rafters @ 16"o.c., with 2x8 ridge, span=+/- 13%8") is sufficient to bear this
additional load.
2. The solar panels are attached to the roof with the SolarMount-I rack system by UNIRAC. The
rack system, roof connections and connection spacing are rated for 100 mph. This project
requires the larger Solar Mount 1-2.5 beam (2.5" high)and spacing of flange foot connection to
roof at 48"o.c. maximum. Flange footing connections to the rail are not required to be staggered.
The flange foot connections to the roof are 5/16" diameter x 4" long lag bolts.
1 therefore certify that this installation complies with the applicable codes and design loads
mentioned above and is acceptable For approval. Please let me know if you have any questions
on this information. Thanks!
