Re: Inspection of Residential Structure for Solar PV—32 Burt's Pit Road,Northampton, MA
,. -, . r ,; -r This letter summarizes the inspection and analysis of the
" " —- . ~*- '. ,,� 'Mll.. residence at 32 Burt's Pit Road in Northampton to determine
pax \. if the structure is adequate to support a roof mounted solar
'. -"- PV system.
Je
Y
1- -it*_ i,a An inspection of the roof and supporting structure was
. ..,,f_ ° , 4' performed on September 13, 2021. The portions of the roof
being considered for solar are constructed with trusses.The
" { y '
* main portion of the house has a hip roof with a small ridge
,r that runs north to south. One solar array is planned for the
: ` ` south facing hip roof; a second array on the west facing roof.
The roof and supporting structures were measured and
tI - A analyzed for the additional dead load of the two arrays as
I pictured at left. Each row of modules would be mounted on
ti
s li two rails that are attached with mounting feet. Based on the
li
analysis the existing structures will accommodate the
ten; additional load of the system. The west facing array must be
x 1 „p `' ounted on the lower portion of the roof as shown.The
w' 1 1 . ":, upper portion of the west roof is not to be used to support
solar.The solar mounting feet are to be staggered and spaced
so that the loading is evenly distributed between the rafters.
It is my professional opinion,based on my review and inspection that the installation of the solar PV
system as proposed on the roof meets the minimum criteria of the Massachusetts State Building Code
780 CMR Ninth Edition.
