Re: 115 Oak Street, Florence, MA-Inspection of Residential Structure for Solar PV
This letter summarized the inspection and
analysis of the residence at 115 Oak Street,
Florence, MA to determine if the structure is "', '
adequate to a support roof mounted solar PV
system. r...-
Three roof surfaces are planned to host solar
modules as shown in the photo at right.
An inspection of the roofs and supporting I
w
structure was performed on June 22,2021.The Nimill11111111
'
main roof of the house(ridge running east to -
west)is constructed of rough 2 X 6 rafters on
24 inch centers.These were measured and1111 4„,,a '
analyzed for the additional dead load of two ,
11111 rows of solar PV panels;each row of modules Vte.► -
being mounted on two rails that are attached " ' j
with mounting feet.Based on the analysis,the � •
rafters of the south facing roof will need to be
reinforced to support the increased dead load • ' 4--
from the PV array as well as the fact that the
loads will now be concentrated at the points , .'
of mounting. The reinforcement • "'
recommended is to install(sister)one 2 X 6 r 4 f ;
against each existing 2 X 6(see photo of
similar job).The new 2 X 6s are to be#2 SPF -'F
or better and are to be attached by two rows
of 16d X 3"nails, 8"on center,staggered.
Alternatively GRK R4#9 X 3-1/8"screws ,�
can be used. The reinforcing is to occur prior --
to installation of the arrays and with no snow
or other live loads on the roof. ew,*

A second smaller roof intersects this roof with a ridge line running north to south. This roof is also constructed of
rough 2 X 6 rafters on 24 inch centers.These were measured and analyzed for the additional dead load of one row
of solar PV panels on each roof surface;each row of modules being mounted on two rails that are attached with
mounting feet.Based on the analysis the existing structure will accommodate the additional load of the system.
For both roofs the solar mounting feet are to be staggered and spaced so that the loading is evenly distributed
between the rafters.
It is my professional opinion,based on my review and inspection,that the installations of the solar PV systems as
proposed,meet the minimum criteria of the Massachusetts State Building Code, 780 CMR Ninth Edition.
Sincerely,
