Foreign matter will cause bolts to bind as they slide in the slots. Installing Splices:If your installation uses SolarMount splice bars,attach the rails together(Fig.13)before mounting the rails to the footings. Use splice bars only with flush installations or those that use low-profile tilt legs. Although structural,the joint is not as strong as the rail itself.A rail should always be supported by more than one footing on both sides of the splice,(Reference installation manual 908,Splices/Expansion Joints.) Figure 13.Splice bars slide into the footing bolt slots of SolarMount rail sections. Mounting Rails on Footings:Rails may be attached to either of two mounting holes in the L-feet(Fig.14). Mount in the lower hole for a low profile,more aesthetically pleasing installation. Mount in the upper hole for a higher profile,which will maximize airflow under the modules. This £, will cool them more and may enhance performance in hotter climates. Clamping �41 Slide the/e-inch mounting bolts into the footing bolt slots.

If the rails are perpendicular to the rafters(Fig.15),either end of the rails Figure 14.Foot-to-rail splice attachment can be aligned,but the first module must be installed at the aligned end. If the rails are parallel to the rafters(Fig.16),the aligned end of the rails must face the lower edge of the roof. Securely tighten all hardware after alignment is complete(20 ft lbs).

See note for determining h in the next section. For installations You will also need to know the following information: on structures greater than 60 feet,contact your local Unirac Distributor. Basic Wind Speed= V(mph),the largest 3 second gust of wind in the last 50 years. 2.The building must be enclosed,not an open or partially enclosed structure,for example a carport. h(ft)=total roof height for flat roof buildings or mean roof height 3.The building is regular shaped with no unusual geometrical for pitched roof buildings irregularity in spatial form,for example a geodesic dome. Roof Pitch(degrees) 4.The building is not in an extreme geographic location such as a narrow canyon or steep cliff.

President October 24, 2014 Florence Building Department Florence, MA Re: Solar Electric Panels Roof Structural Framing Support To Whom It May Concern: I hereby certify that I am a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Massachusetts. Please note the following conclusions regarding framing structure, roof loading, and photovoltaic system size and proposed site location of installation: 1. Existing roof framing: Conventional framing 2x8 at 24" o.c. and 12'-6" span (horizontal rafter projection). This existing structure is definitely capable to support all of the loads that are indicated below for this photovoltaic project after sister the rafters below solar array with a 2x8 using (2)10d nails 2' o.c. Use of(2)Guard DogTm FMGDO02 screws is approved, or equal shear strength of approx. 120 lb, 2' o.c.at areas where little space is available only with remainder of member secured with (2)10d nails 2' o.c. If do not sister,then install a 2x4 @ 24"o.c. knee wall over an interior bearing wall to limit span between supports to 10'-1". 2. Roof Loading • 4.33 psf dead load (modules plus all mounting hardware) • 35 psf snow live load (50 psf ground snow live load reference) • 4.5 psf roof materials (sheathing and shingles) • Exposure Category B, 115 mph wind uplift live load of 19.6 psf(wind resistance) 3. Address of proposed installation: Residence of Stephen Dostal, 88 South Main Street, Florence, MA 01062 This installation design will be in general conformance to the manufacturer's specifications, and is in compliance with all applicable laws, codes, and ordinances, and specifically, International Residential Code/IRC 2009, 2011 NEC, and 2012 ICC Energy Code. The spacing and fastening of the Unirac mounting brackets is to have a maximum of 64" o.c.span along the rail between mounting brackets and secured using 5/16" x 3%" length lag bolts. In order to evenly distribute the load across the roof rafters,there shall be a minimum of 2 mounting brackets per rafter& min. 2" penetration of lag bolt per bracket,which is adequate to resist all 115 mph wind live loads including wind shear. The mounting brackets shall alternate between adjacent rafters between rail rows for better distribution of roof load. Double quantity of anchors for modules mounted within 18" of ridge and edges of roof. Rails may be attached to either of two mounting holes in the L-feet. Mounting in the lower hole for a low profile, more aesthetically pleasing installation or mount in the upper hole for a higher profile to maximize airflow under the modules to cool them more. Slide the M-inch mounting bolts into the footing bolt slots.The rails will be attached to the footings with the flange nuts.
