Re: Proposed Photovoltaic Solar Panel Installation
Esmeralda Ramos
201 BRIDGE STREET
NORTHAMPTON,MA 01060
Dear Plan Reviewer:
Certification:I have reviewed the engineering testing reports for the racking and attachments to be used on this project
and I certify that the products are capable of supporting the code required loads and are suitable for this installation
when installed in strict compliance with the manufacturers printed instructions.
Regarding the solar panel array installation on the above referenced project please note that an inspection was
performed by a representative of the Architect/Engineer of Record,and analysis of the existing structure was
conducted.There is adequate structural capacity for the installation of the array with the following recommendations:
1.The array will be installed on the existing roof.The roof framing is constructed of true 2"x6"wood rafters @24"
o.c.spanning 7'-1"with 1"x6"T&G sheathing.The new array(See Site map by contractor)will add 2.63 Lb./Sf.
overall to the roof.The existing structure is sufficient to support the new loads associated with the additional weight&
wind resistance.No additional structural support is required for the roof structure.
2.The attachment system shall be secured to the roof and shall be in strict compliance with manufacturers printed
instructions.The attachment system shall be UL 1703 approved tested.Provide water tight sealant at all penetrations.
Attachments shall follow panel rows as specified by the system manufacturer's installation manual.The panel angle
shall match the roof slope.Reference summary table below:
Roof Type: Shingle Fastener Max Spacing(in.)
Attachment System: "ROOFTECH"®'RT MINI II" &"UNIRAC SM"Mounting Systems Wind Zone I Wind Zone 2 Wind Zone 3
Fastener Info: Fasteners provided by attachment manufacturer into 48 32 32
the rafters
3. Solar Modules shall be UL-1703 rated.Refer to manufacturers specifications sheets.
4.Positive drainage of the system shall be so as not to void the existing roof warranty.
5.All aspects of the installation shall comply with the 2018 Massachusetts building code,2020 NEC,the American
Society of Civil Engineers,ASCE 7-16,2018 American Forest&Paper Association,wood frame construction
manual,local municipal code and all other codes and ordinances adopted by referance or enacted by law.
6.Please refer to the attached structural calculations.
If you have any questions relating to this matter,please contact me at your earliest convenience.Thank you.
