The purpose of this review was to provide an opinion as to the structure's ability to support a proposed rooftop photovoltaic system.You also provided catalog information on the proposed _.. photovoltaic(PV)panels and building construction plans dated May, 2014.Both the roof structure information and the information on the proposed PV panels are attached to this letter for reference. You are proposing to erect PV panels on the south side of the house.The residence is a newly constructed two story wood framed house.Northampton tax records show that the house was constructed in 2015. The house is roughly 32'x34'with a gable roof.The roof pitch is 6:12.The roof is framed with wood trusses at 24"O.C.spanning 32'.You have provided design output from the truss designer/fabricator. The architectural design plans call out 5/8"plywood roof sheathing and the roof is shingled with asphalt shingles. Recommendations: While the design information provided suggests that the roof is sufficiently robust to support the additional Dead Load from the proposed PV system,any conclusion to that point is predicated on the assumption that the roof was constructed as designed.Since the information you provided does not include a photograph of the truss installation,we recommend that prior to installing the PV system,you verify proper installation of the trusses as called out on the truss plans.Specifically,the truss plans call for bracing at the midpoint of the center and outermost diagonals, Members 6-12,4-12,3-14&7-10 on the attached truss drawing provided by you. Such bracing is an important, but often neglected installation detail, installation of the truss bracing must be field verified. Moore N✓olfsorr Residence, Norhtamp-.on,MA Page z Conclusion: The documents you have provided suggest that the roof and supporting structure are satisfactorily robust to support the additional Dead load of the PV system. We base this opinion on the information you have provided and the following assumptions.We assume that the roof supporting structure was constructed as designed and that truss bracing was installed as required.Installation of this bracing must be verified.We also assume that owing to theft slippery surface,the solar panels will shed snow better that the existing asphalt shingles.We further assume that the panels will be installed parallel to the roof,eliminating an additional wind load.The ground snow load for Northampton is 55psf. Based on the information you provided the proposed PV panels weigh 2.6 psf. To summarize, provided the trusses are properly braced,which must be confirmed,the roof is structurally adequate to support the additional Dead Load of the proposed roof mounted Photovoltaic System. If we can be of further assistance, please call Jonathan Rugg(603)232-8794 or Carl, Goldknopf (603)232-8792. Very truly yours, GZA GEOENVIRONMENTAL, INC. l Jonathan Rugg, P.E. Carl Goldknopf, P.E.
