Re: Proposed solar array for 121 Willow St. Florence, Ma. 01062
To the building inspector;
On April 12, 2012, I performed a site evaluation for a proposed solar array consisting of 6 Rec 240 W
panels for the roof of the residence at 121 Willow St. Florence, Ma. I observed that the roof is strong
enough to hold this six panel array as the rafter span is less than 8'6 ". The panel specifications are
attached to the building permit application.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Phillip Baunsgard
