Re: Inspection of Residential Structure for Solar PV -285 Prospect Street. Northampton.MA
Thu letter summarizes the inspection and analysis of the residence at 285 Prospect Street in Northampton to
determine if the structure is adequate to support a roof mounted solar PV system.
An inspection of the roof and suppottine structure t.as pertornted on May 20.2016 fhe main portion of the
house is b ing considered for solar and has a roof constructed wii h trusses. The main roof ridge aI Me house runs
test to east. ftto arm's are planned for the south facing roof(one on either side;Wan obstruction). Both arrays
tt ill consist of three rows of solar modules.
Original Eras drat+ings were available tar the roof The trusses were anal}zed for the additional dear load ofthe
proposed ststem' three rows of solar PV modules mounted in ponrait orientation.Each row of modules would be
mounted on two rails that are attached with penetrating mounting feet Based on the analysis.the existing
structure will accommodate the additional load of the system. Due to the trusts liinited load capac it the solar
mounting feet are required at even truss to rail intersection: this results in a mounting foot every 24.. of rail_
Further n ore. the attachment feet must use smaller fasteners than those used for a single fastener solar mounting
feet 5 16"1.T he following combination of para will accommodate the required anachment and use Pao
swat ler fasteners per mounting_foot.
• Ecofasten Solar GF2V-RILl-811.aluminum flashing(vertical 2 hole,
• Ecofasten Solar F-202.mountim• foot
the F-202 mounting foot is to be mounted vertically to the top cord of the truss with n o Simpson
SDP'HI 9300DB sell drilling screws(0.145"dia X 3" long).A standard "Libor can be mounted to the F202 for
accepting the PV mounting rails.
It is ins professional opinion.based on ins review and inspection.that the installation of the solar PV system as
proposed on the south side of the roof meets the minimum criteria of the Massachusetts State Building Code 780
