This product is designed and tested to UL 1703,UL Fire Safety Class C,IEC 61215 Ed.2 and TUV Safety Class 2 standards.
String Ribbon is a patented technology and registered trademark of Evergreen Solar,Inc.
A standard feature of the Solar Dock is one inch rigid foam
insulation adhered to the bottom of the mounting structure, which `�
provides protection to the roof and incorporates channels allowing ;
for water flow. ..` •
Another advantage of the SolarDock mounting system is its ability
to be moved easily for any routine building maintenance. No longer , :
does a building owner need to put off purchasing a solar electric
system until their roof is replaced. Its versatile, modular design
allows it to be used for installations of all sizes from a few solar
modules to thousands of solar modules.
About McConnell Energy Solutions
McConnell Energy Solutions, LLC was created out of the McConnell Companies, ,.,
a real estate development firm based in Wilmington,Delaware,to address the
need for a better alternative to conventional flat-roof and ground-mount k ,z . .,# ;
photovoltaic installation systems. McConnell Energy Solutions, LLC developed
the SolarpockTM,which has quickly been adopted by the solar industry as one of
the easiest, most efficient,and cost-effective means for the mounting of
photovoltaic systems.

RE: Solar Dock Ballast Requirements
Paradise Copies
Northampton, MA
Project Number: 218.027
We have been requested to provide a letter regarding the ballast requirements for the Solar Dock array in
the attached figures in a 90 mph wind zone (3 second gust as defined in the International Building Code).
The Solar Dock System is an interconnected system designed for use on flat roofs without any
mechanical penetrating fasteners through the existing roofing. The system is intended for use in high
wind zones up to and including 120 mph. However, ballast is required to resist the forces imposed on the
array by wind.
Our ballast requirements are based on the resulting forces from wind tunnel testing and computer
modeling. Our analysis and recommendations include reasonable factors of safety against sliding, uplift
and overturning or the solar dock units.
The array identified in the attached figure, has varied number of rows and width (number of docks). The
array will require an additional 185 lbs of ballast to be placed in each dock for a 90 mph wind speed. The
weight of the dock and panels is 120 pounds for each 10 foot module. The additional roof loading,
including the weight of the ballast, dock, and panels, directly beneath the footprint of the individual dock
acting on the dow board (local impact) is approximately 15.1 pounds per square foot (psf). The additional
roof loading beneath the footprint of the entire array (global impact) is approximately 5.7 psf.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please do hesitate to contact our office.

Re: New Roof-Top Photo-Voltaic Installation isSioNA
Paradise Copies
21 C onz St
Northampton, MA
The following is a summary of my review of this project. The general concept is to install a ballasted PV
system on this existing roof. The old roof, recently stripped completely off the metal decking,weighed
approximately 11 pounds per square foot (psf). Foam insulation board and a membrane roof, weighing about 1
psf total, were installed. The foam board was tapered in thickness to increase slope to drain off the back.
The roof structural system consists of corrugated metal decking on steel open-web trusses which are spaced at
6`-8" centers and span clear across the building. The top and bottom chords are tee sections, and the web
members are angles. The size of the angles varies across the span, according to the magnitude of the internal
forces of the truss. All of these trusses had minor reinforcing made to web members last winter during the
renovations for the store, and two trusses were reinforced for installation of a roof-top I IVAC unit.
The PV panels will be placed on SolarDock pans which will also contain ballast in the form of solid concrete
blocks. In order to reduce the additional bending forces induced in the roof, the amount of ballast will be
distributed unevenly across the span, placing more at the ends of the truss and less at the middle of the span.
The maximum ballast will be about 25 lbs per lineal foot(pit)of dock, and the minimum will be about 7 plf.
The dock and panel sections weigh 12 plf. Thus the average PV weight is less than 6 psf over the entire roof, so
that the additional load of PV and new roof is less than 2/3 of the 11 psf that was removed. The docks will be
held away from the adjacent, taller building to avoid adding the PV weight in the snow drift zone.
In my analysis I have used the uniform roof snow load of 35 psf, per the G'' Edition of the Mass. Code. An
allowance was made for light MEP/HVAC in addition to the self-weight of the structure, the roofing and the PV
system. The precise age of the building is not known, and no structural drawings are available, so all members,
including roof decking, were measured on site. Steel grade is assumed to have a yield strength of 36,000 psi. I
have determined that, subject to the above limits,these trusses are able to support these total applied loads with
the safety factor which is greater than the 1.67 as required by the American Institute of Steel Construction.
I hope that you find this satisfactory. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Respectfully Submitted,
Ryan S. Hell w ig
