You are proposing to erect solar panels on two roofs on the site. One PV array is proposed for the in- law's apartment.The in-law's apartment is a one-story dwelling,detached from the main residence.The section of roof where in-law's apartment array is proposed measures approximately 26'x34'.The roof is supported by dual-pitch manufactured wood roof trusses at 24"O.C.You have provided an architectural building section and a roof framing plan for this roof,as well as design output for the manufactured wood roof trusses.The truss design output is from Universal Forest Products,and is dated April, 2017. The dual-pitch roof has 18-degree and 26-degree pitches.The PV array is proposed for the south facing, 26-degree side of the roof.The trusses span approximately 32'on the horizontal.The top chords are a mix of 2x6#2,and MSR 2x4(Fb=2100psi, 1.8E).The bottom chords are MSR 2x4(Fb=2100psi, LEE).The truss webs are a mix of#2 2x4,and 2x6.The trusses were designed for 40psf snow load,and 10psf dead load.The roof has an OSB deck and asphalt shingles. Diagonal truss bracing is visible in the photographs that you provided.The truss design requires lateral 2x4 bracing,parallel the peak(perpendicular to the trusses),at the midpoint of diagonal web member 5-30.The photographs that you provided do not show this lateral bracing.This bracing should be installed so that the trusses achieve their full design strength. The second proposed array is on a carport that is currently under construction.You have provided a roof framing plan for this roof.The framing plan was designed by Jamb Smith Engineering and Design and is dated,November,2017.The framing plan calls for 2x12 rafters at 16"O.C.;but you report that 2x105 at 12"O.C.have been substituted. Plans call for a 3-ply 14"ridge beam,and steel rafter hangers at the peak. Plans also call for a steel beam and rafter ties at the south end of the rafters.The steel beam is to be supported by hollow steel columns.Your report that the roof pitch under the proposed carport array New England Construction Engineering, PLC PV Squared—Tauer 8 Burnham Residence Jonathan Rugg, P.E. Northampton, MA Page 2 of 2 is 10-degrees.The 2x10 rafters at 12"O.C.span approximately 18'.Plans call for a span rated structural wood panel deck. Recommendations' In order to achieve the design strength of the manufactured wood trusses supporting the in-law's apartment roof,the missing lateral bracing should be installed,as designed,at the midpoint of the diagonal web member 5-10 as shown on the manufactured wood truss design for the in-law's apartment. Installation should be in accordance with manufacturers recommendations.Such bracing is important, but often overlooked.This truss bracing is shown on the attached Truss Web Lateral Bracing Sketch.Once installation of this bracing is confirmed,the roof will adequately support the proposed PV array. Conclusion: Based on the information that you have provided,we conclude that,once the truss bracing is confirmed to be installed as required by the truss design,the m-lay's apartment roof will adequately support the proposed PV army. We further conclude that the proposed carport roof will support the proposed cerport will support the proposed carport array. We base these opinions on the following assumptions.We assume that both structures are constructed as designed,with the noted exception of the substitution of 2x10 rafters @ 12"O.C.over the carport. We further assume that the PV panels will shed snow more readily than the existing asphalt shingles.We also assume that the panels will be installed parallel to the roof,eliminating any additional wind load. The ground snow load(Pg)for Northampton is 40 psf. Based on information that you have provided on similar projects,we assume that the proposed PV panels weigh approximately 2.6 psf. In summary,the roof will adequately support the design snow load and the additional dead load of the proposed roof mounted PV array. Thank you for the opportunity to assist with Ws project. If we can be of further assistance,please contact Jonathan Rugg at NECE.

When engaged in this work as an employee of PV Squared on a PV Squared project site, activities of PV Squared employees are covered under the General Liability Insurance maintained by the Cooperative. It is the intent of this policy to provide clarity to installation situations where the applicable codes and regulations are unclear, ambiguous, or silent. It is possible that a municipal building or electrical inspector could interpret the codes and regulations in a manner that differs from what appears here. But this policy sets out, in writing, how the cooperative interprets legal work requirements and unclear details. It is an internal consensus working model, intended to be revised and improved from time to time. As a general matter, a city's or town's Building Commissioner is charged with enforcing the State Building Code, Plumbing and Gas Code, Electrical Code and Architectural Access Code. The commissioner addresses concerns about the safety, accessibility and security of construction of homes and businesses. The commissioner also enforces zoning bylaws. In accordance with Massachusetts General Law, employees of the cooperative who perform electrical tasks and activities must hold a Massachusetts journeymen's electrician license or be under the direct supervision of such licensed personnel. These tasks and activities include installing electrical wiring, conduits, apparatus, devices, fixtures or other appliances for carrying or using the electricity associated with Renewable Energy Generators (electrically active solar photovoltaic modules, wind turbine-generators, hydroelectric generators, etc.). In no circumstances shall the Massachusetts licensed journeymen have more than one learner or apprentice working with him/her or under his/her supervision. Mounting structures come in a variety of configurations and have differing functional and physical characteristics. A structural component or assembly becomes associated with electrical work as the Renewable Energy Generator is electrically bonded to the mounting structure. Unless otherwise noted in M.G.L. c.143 553 through 5560 inclusive, all structural work defined as follows shall not be required to be performed by a Massachusetts licensed journeymen electrician: • Structural improvements • Elements of a Renewable Energy Generator's support structure that fall under a building permit (e.g., assembly of top-of-pole mounting structure on steel pole with concrete foundation prior to execution of any required electrical bonding of the support structure and associated renewable energy generator (solar electric module) to the support structure Policy # 9 Installation Crew Operating Policy Pioneer Valley Photovoltaics Cooperative POLICY DOCUMENT #9 Current version adopted by the 1Soard of Directors on April 28, 2011 • Roof-top mounting support structires including but not limited to posts, stand-offs, flashings, feet, and mounting rails • Operation of heavy equipment involved in moving, hoisting, digging and other tasks • Earth work, excavation and concrete work • Manual labor involved in moving loading and unloading of equipment • Moving, hoisting, and attaching an electrically bonded panel assembly (defined as one or more assembled and electrically bonded solar electric modules) to an existing structural support designed to host the panel assembly. Note however that construction of a panel assembly is an electrical task due to the required electrical bonding activities. Repair and Servicing of Installed Equipment Repair or replacement of an electrically bonded and/or energized renewable energy generator (e.g., installed solar electric panes) will be performed by a licensed electrician or property supervised learner or apprentice working with the licensed electrician. Replacement of an installed inverter must be performed by a licensed electrician or properly supervised learner or apprentice working with the licensed electrician, if the work requires removal of AC and/or DC conduit and associated wiring that originates outside of the installed inverter (e.g., removal of external AC conduit and wiring between the inverter and point of interconnection with the on-site electrical service). Note that this activity may require a wiring permit in some local jurisdictions. This requirement also applies to the servicing of an installed inverter that involves replacement or repair of components and wiring internal to the pre-manufacturer inverter (i.e., factory installed components that were originally shipped with the inverter) even though such activity may not require a wiring permit. Replacement of an installed inverter may also be performed by a qualified technician who may or may not be a licensed electrician or property supervised learner or apprentice working with a licensed electrician if the inverter is of a "plug and play" design. Such a qualified technician can also performed other tasks that include installation and servicing inverter-based performance monitoring systems (e.g., replacing internal communication cards, making "plug and play" ethernet connections, etc.), assuming these activities do not require creation of a new AC power source circuit to operate the communication system(s).
