Re: Justin Kaput,241 Spring St, Florence, MA: Structural assessment of existing house roof to
support proposed solar array.
On 8/19/16 we conducted a site visit and investigated the roof framing of the 26'x 2:4', 2-story
hipped roof house for the proposed PV solar panel installations. The house was constructed in
1925. The rafters are full dimension 2x6 installed at 24" on-center, with the longest span of the
south hip roof at 12'-0", with a roof pitch of 8/12. The hip ratters are full dimension 2x8 and
appear straight and true.2x6 ceiling joists,at 16"on-center,mn east-west across the 26' width,
and are nailed to the 2x4 wall studs that are ballooned framed approximately 2'above the attic
floor. I" floor boards are nailed to the 2x6 joist that is secured to the 26' wide south wall and
prevents the south wall. from being pushed out, The rafters are secured to a double 2x4 top plate. 7
solar panels are to be installed on the south hip roof. The roofing is asphalt shingles.
I have reviewed the mounting details for the proposed array. Based on my calculations and a PV
solar panel unit weight of 42+lbs, with the attachment points of the array placed at a maximum of
4' on center and staggered to minimize the load to any one rafter, the existing south roof framing
is adequate to support the proposed PV solar array and the snow and windload requirements of
the current MA State Building Code.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely, SN or aka
