On the above referenced project,the roof structural framing has been reviewed for additional loading due to the installation of the solar PV addition to the roof.The structural review,including the plans and calculations only apply to the section of the roof that is directly supporting the solar PV system and its supporting elements.The observed roof framing is described below.If field conditions differ,contractor to notify engineer prior to starting construction. The roof structure of(Both Roof's)consists of composition shingle on roof plywood that is supported by pre-manufactured trusses that are spaced at @ 24"o.c..The top chords,sloped at 20 degrees,are 2x6 sections,the bottom chords are 2x6 sections and the web members are 2x4 sections.The truss members are connected by steel gusset plates.The max unsupported projected horizontal top chord span is approximately 8'-0". The existing roof framing system of(Both Roof's)is judged to be adequate to withstand the loading imposed by the installation of the solar panels. No reinforcement is necessary. The spacing of the solar standoffs should be kept at 48"o.c.with a staggered pattern to ensure proper distribution of loads. Design Criteria: • Applicable Codes=Massachusetts Residential Code,8th Edition,ASCE 7-05,and NDS-12 • Roof Dead Load=8 psf(Both Roof's) • Roof Live Load=20 psf • Wind Speed=90 mph, Exposure C • Ground Snow Load=40 psf - Roof Snow Load=28 psf Please contact me with any further questions or concerns regarding this project.
