From: David Vreeland, P.E.

Re: Amy and Erik Rhodes, 36 Munroe St,Northampton, MA: Structural assessment of existing
garage roof to support proposed solar array.
I have reviewed the roof framing details of the 20'x 22' detached garage for the proposed 14 PV
solar panel installation. The house was built in 1900 and the garage appears to have been built at a
later date. The garage rafters are full dimension 2x4 installed at 16"on-center, spanning 10'-0" at
a 6/12 pitch. 2x4 ceiling joists installed 32" on-center are nailed to the rafters at the top of the
walls and prevent the roof from spreading. The existing roofing is asphalt shingles.
The southeast 2x4 rafters that support the proposed solar panels will need to be reinforced by
sistering a new 2x4x10' member to the sides of the existing rafters. Center the new 2x4 along the
length of the existing rafters and attach with 16d nails at 12" o.c. or 2'/2" TimberLok screws at 24"
O.C.
I have reviewed the mounting details for the proposed solar array. Based on an approximate PV
panel unit weight of 41 f 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 roof framing, reinforced
as outlined above, is adequate to support the proposed PV solar array and the snow load
requirements of the current MA State Building Code.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely, "I"of Mgss�c
