Solar Panel Installation
Dear Mr.Scyocurka:
Per your request, we have reviewed the attached layout and photos relating to the installation of solar panels at the
above-referenced site.
Based upon our review, it is our conclusion that the installation of solar panels on this existing roof will not adversely
affect the structure of this house. The design of supporting members and connections is by the manufacturer and/or
installer.The adopted building code in this jurisdiction is the Massachusetts State Residential Code,8th Edition(2009
IRC)and ASCE 7-05.Appropriate design parameters which must be used in the design of the supporting members and
connections are listed below:
Ground snow load:40 psf per the Massachusetts State Residential Code(verity w/local building department)
Design wind speed for risk category II structures:90 mph(3-sec gust)
Wind exposure:Category C
Our conclusion regarding the adequacy of the existing roof is based on the fact that the additional weight related to the
solar panels is less than 3 pounds per square foot. In the area of the solar panels,no 20 psf live loads will be present.
Regarding snow loads,it is our conclusion that since the panels are slippery and unobstructed,effective snow loads will
be reduced in the areas of the panels.Solar panels will be flush-mounted,parallel to and no more than 6"above the roof
surface. Thus, it is our conclusion that any additional wind loadings related to the addition of these solar panels is
negligible.
During design and installation,particular attention must be paid to the maximum allowable spacing of attachments and
the location of solar panels relative to roof edges. The use of solar panel support span tables provided by the
manufacturer is allowed only where the building type, site conditions, and solar panel configuration match the
description of the span tables.Attachments to existing roofjoist or rafters must be staggered so as not to over load any
existing structural member. Waterproofing around the roof penetration is the responsibility of others. All work
performed must be in accordance with accepted industry-wide methods and applicable safety standards. Vector
Structural Engineering assumes no responsibility for improper installation of the solar panels.
Our conclusions are based upon our review of the photos and drawings which indicate that all structural roof
components and other supporting elements are in good condition and are sized and spaced such that they can resist
standard roof loads. Roof framing type..size,and spacing are as indicated in the photos and drawings by Green Earth
Energy Photovoltaic.A representative of Vector Structural Engineering has not physically observed the roof framing.
Very truly yours,
VECTOR STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING,LLC

Solar Panel Installation
Dear Mr.Scyocurka:
Per your request, we have reviewed the attached layout and photos relating to the installation of solar panels at the
above-referenced site.
Based upon our review, it is our conclusion that the installation of solar panels on this existing roof will not adversely
affect the structure of this house. The design of supporting members and connections is by the manufacturer and/or
installer. The adopted building code in this jurisdiction is the Massachusetts State Residential Code, 8th Edition(2009
IRC)and ASCE 7-05. Appropriate design parameters which must be used in the design of the supporting members and
connections are listed below:
Ground snow load:40 psf per the Massachusetts State Residential Code(verify w/local building department)
Design wind speed for risk category II structures:90 mph(3-sec gust)
Wind exposure:Category C
Our conclusion regarding the adequacy of the existing roof is based on the fact that the additional weight related to the
solar panels is less than 3 pounds per square foot. In the area of the solar panels, no 20 psf live loads will be present.
Regarding snow loads,it is our conclusion that since the panels are slippery and unobstructed,effective snow loads will
be reduced in the areas of the panels.Solar panels will be flush-mounted,parallel to and no more than 6"above the roof
surface. Thus, it is our conclusion that any additional wind loadings related to the addition of these solar panels is
negligible-
During design and installation,particular attention must be:paid to the maximum allowable spacing of attachments and
the location of solar panels relative to roof edges. The use of solar panel Support span tables provided by the
manufacturer is allowed only where the building type, site conditions, and solar panel configuration match the
description of the span tables. Attachments to existing roofjoist or rafters must be staggered so as not to over load any
existing structural member. Waterproofing around the roof penetration is the responsibility of others. All work
performed must be in accordance with accepted industry-wide methods and applicable safety standards. Vector
Structural Engineering assumes no responsibility for improper installation of the solar panels.
Our conclusions are based upon our review of the photos and drawings which indicate that all structural roof
components and other Supporting elements are in good condition and are sized and spaced such that they can resist
standard roof loads. Roof framing type.size, and spacing are as indicated in the photos and drawings by Green Earth
Energy Photovoltaic.A representative of Vector Structural Engineering has not physically observed the roof framing.
Very truly yours,
