Re: Engineer Statement for Clopton-Levine Residence. 1157 Florence Rd., Northampton,
MA
- Expansion of Solar Roof Mount Installation
I have verified the adequacy and structural integrity of the existing Roof 1 & 2 (one layer
shingles) 2" x 4" wood truss at 24''o.c., having sloped distance 19'-1". pitch 31 deg.:. for
mounting of solar panels and their installation will satisfy the structural roof framing
design-loading requirements of the Massachusetts building code— 780 CMR Residential
Code 8th Ed.
For the installation of the solar mounting,the tlnirac Solarmount rails will be anchored to
the rafters with L-foot supports at 48" max sp. having Ecofasten Green Fasten with CP-
SQ Bracket and flashing located on the center of the rafters that will be securely fastened
to the rafters with 5/16"x 3 1/2" SS lag bolts. All attachments are staggered amongst the
framing members. The mounting system has been designed for wind speed criteria 90
mph Exp. B and ground snow criteria 40 psf.
The Photovoltaic system and the mounting assemblies will comply with the applicable
sections of the Residential Code and loading requirements of roof-mounted collectors.
Thereby. I endorse the solar panel installation and certify this design to be structurally
adequate.
Sincerely,
� t r
