Subject: Structural Certification for
Installation of Solar Panels
57-59 Harbor Street Condo
Salem, MA 01970
To whom it may concern:
A design check for the subject building was done on the existing roofing and framing systems for the
installation of solar panels over the roof. From a field inspection of the property,the existing roof
consists of EPDM over rigid insulation on ix wood planks that are supported by true dimensioned 2x4
rafters at 16"o.c.. The rafters pair with true 2x10 ceiling joists and are connected to the ceiling joists by
2x4 scabs. The rafters and ceiling joists forma flat roof truss system to resist the roof loads. The width
of the roof is approximately 24'-0"with a flat slope. There are interior load bearing walls to provide
intermediate support to the roof framing. The maximum unsupported span of the roof framing is 14'-6"
The existing roof framing systems are judged to be adequate to withstand the loadings imposed by the
installation of the solar panels. No reinforcement is necessary. The solar hot water system should be
mounted on 6x6 sleepers(one on each end of panels)that span perpendicularly to the rafters. The 6x6
sleepers are attached to each rafter by a''/."D x 10"LTimerLok screw.
I further certify that all applicable loads required by IBC 2009 with Massachusetts amendments were
applied to the Kingspan solar rail system and analyzed. The applicable loads are indicated in the load
combination table and the summation of maximum loads indicated on permit plan,which is part of this
submittal package. Furthermore, I was informed that the installation crews have been thoroughly
trained to install the solar panels based on the specific roof installation instructions developed by
Kingspan for the racking system and for the roof connections. Finally,I accept the certifications
indicated by the solar panel manufacturer for the ability of the panels to withstand high wind and snow
loads.

The minimum value of C,=0.01
Therefore,C,=0.0543
IEBC Section 707.5 states that the lateral resisting frame structural elements need not comply
with Section 807.4 if the alteration does not increase the demand-capacity ratio by more than
10%. In this case,the panels'weight,S psf, is extremely small compared to floor live load (40
psf/floor for living area x 4 floors). Therefore,seismic design should not be considered.

CONSTRUCTION
Kingspan's flat plate collectors use the best materials available to insure the longevity and performance of the
collector. The sides of the collector are made from anodized Aluminum extrusions. These are riveted in the
corners to hold the collector together. An EPDM seal runs around the glass and is held in place via another
extrusion. This creates a waterproof seal around the entire perimeter of.the glass. The tempered glass is textured,
s/sz"thick and meets the requirements for low iron.
The collector plate is welded to the absorber tubes. This insures an excellent connection that will not change over
time. Absorber tubes are soldered with low lead solder into the header tubes. Both ends of the header tubes are a
brass fitting for connecting the collectors to one another or to the connection kit(see below).
Surrounding the collector plate on all sides is rock wool insulation. Rock wool insulation is ideal for insulating
solar collectors because it does not break down at high temperatures that solar collectors can reach. It does not
outgas like some foam insulation will over time as well.
FRAMES
The structural integrity of the collector frame is very important on commercial jobs and Kingspan has all the
necessary frames for the flat plate collector family to meet most wind load requirements in the US and Canada.
There are three basic frame families for the FPW series;frames for parallel mounting,low wind load angled frame
and high wind load angled frames.
Kingspan provides engineering guidance on these collectors and where particular frames may be used. Each job is
unique in how the wind loads are calculated and Kingspan is willing to work with the structural engineer for the
particular job to help determine the proper frame. All commercial jobs should have a professional engineer's
stamp that the frame and structural supports will meet the wind load requirements.
The FPW series frames are made from steel and electrostatically painted black. Many times architects prefer the
black color to the aluminum for aesthetic reasons. The paint gives excellent resistance to corrosion over the life of
the collectors. All hardware is stainless steel.
PARALLEL FRAMES
Three different lengths for rails are
available for different combinations of
collectors; 2X FPW18, 1X FPW25,2X
FPW25. The frames are able to be used
with various Kingspan roof mounts to
adapt to different types of roofs.
Low WIND LOAD A-FRAME
For areas with lower wind loads,the adjustable A-Frame will
work well. The frame is adjustable to 40°,45'and 49'to
optimize collection at different latitudes.
HIGH WIND LOAD A-FRAMES
Most of the east and gulf coasts of the United States have high
*4
wind loads because of hurricanes. Additionally,there are
'special wind'regions,such as Los Angeles that is affected by
the Santa Ana winds that require resistance to very high wind
speeds. These frames are designed to provide sufficient
structural support in most installations in these regions.
Thicker material is used on all uprights on the collectors and a
second set of clamps and mounting rails is included with these
frames. Three different angles are available; 300,37'and 45'
and the angle is not adjustable due to the high load these frames
must resist.

ACCESSORIES

CONNECTION KIT
The connection kit includes all components required to connect the
collectors to external piping. The connection on each end of the
manifold is a BSPP connection and the kit includes adaptors to 3/4'NPT.
The collectors have a temperature sensor well built into the side of the
collector rather than in the connection kit. This leads to a specific
arrangement for the connection kit and the inlets and outlets from the
collectors as shown below.

INTERCONNECTION
The interconnection between the collectors is a section of
flexible stainless piping with two nuts. There are two of
these included with each collector along with two seal
washers.
Up to 10 FPW25 collectors and 8 FPW30 collectors can be
connected in to each other in a bank.

Information and Instructions
Massachusetts General Laws chapter 152 requires all employers to provide workers' compensation for their employees.
Pursuant to this statute, an employee is defined as"...every person in the service of another under any contract of hire,
express or implied, oral or written."
An employer is defined as"an individual,partnership,association,corporation or other legal entity,or any two or more
of the foregoing engaged in a joint enterprise,and including the legal representatives of a deceased employer, or the
receiver or trustee of an individual, partnership,association or other legal entity, employing employees. However the
owner of a dwelling house having not more than three apartments and who resides therein, or the occupant of the
dwelling house of another who employs persons to do maintenance,construction or repair work on such dwelling house
or on the grounds or building appurtenant thereto shall not because of such employment be deemed to be an employer."
MGL chapter 152, §25C(6)also states that"every state or local licensing agency shall withhold the issuance or
renewal of a license or permit to operate a business or to construct buildings in the commonwealth for any
applicant who has not produced acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance coverage required."
Additionally,MGL chapter 152, §25C(7)states"Neither the commonwealth nor any of its political subdivisions shall
enter into any contract for the performance of public work until acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance
requirements of this chapter have been presented to the contracting authority."

address. After doing so, print the application, fill in completely and then submit to the local city or
town where the work will be done.
2.All applications shall be considered complete and will be reviewed if construction documents,
specifications, fee, and other materials that may be required as indicated in the Building Permit
Application are included with the application.
3.Please include a check for the Building Permit fee. The fee may be calculated using the information to
