Re: En ineering Services
Bull Residence
48 Ward Avenue, Northampton MA
4.400 kW System
To Wham It May Concern:
We have received information regarding solar panel installation on the roof of the above referenced
structure_ Our evaluation of the structure is to verify the existing capacity of the roof system and its ability
to support the additional loads imposed by the proposed solar system_
A. Site Assessment Inform a€ion
1 _ Site visit documentation identifying attic information including size and spacing of framing
members for the existing roof structure_
2_ Design drawings of the proposed system including a site plan, roof plan and connection
details fcrthe solar panels_ This information will be utilized for approval and construction
of the proposed system-
B
. Description of Structure:
Roof Framrr> :
Assumed 2x6 dimensional lumber at 4" on center_
Roof Material
Composite Asphalt Shingles
Roof Slopes:
8, 2, 45 degrees
Attic Access:
Accessible
Foundation:
Permanent
C. Loading Criteria Used
• Dead Load
• Existing Reefing and framir = 7 psf
• New Solar Panels and Racking = 3 psf
• TOTAL = 10 PSF
• Live Load = 20 psf (reducible) — 0 psf at locations of solar panels
• Ground Snow Load = 40 psf
• Wind Load based on ASCE 7-10
• Ultimate Wind Speed = 117 mph (based on Risk Category II)
• Exposure Category C
Analysis performed of the existing roof struchye utilizing the above loading criteria is in accordance
with the 2015 lntemationa/ Residential Code, in eluding provisions allowing existing struchyes to not
regt re strengthening if the new loads do not exceed existing design loads by 105% for gravity
elements and 110% for seismic elements. This analysis indicates that the existing framing rnernbers
will sr porf the additional panel loading without damage, ifinstalled correctly,
Page 2 of
D. Solar Parcel Anchorage
1- The solar panels shall be mounted in accordance with the most recent Ironridge installation manual.
V duringg solar panel installation, the roof framing members appear unstable or deflect non -
uniformly, our office should be notified before proceeding with the install ation-
2- The maximum allowable withdrawal force for a 5116" lag screw is 235 Ibs per inch of penetration as
identified in the National Design Standards (NDS) of timber construction specifications- Based on
a minimum penetration depth of 2'", the allowable capacity per connection is greater than the
design withdrawal force (demand)- Considering the van able fntors for the existing roof framing
and installation tolerances, the connection using one 5116" diameter lag screw with a minimum of
Z " embedment will be adequate and will include a sufficient factor of safety-
3- Considering the wind speed, roof slopes, size and spacing of framing members, and condition of
the roof, the panel supports shall be placed no greater than 48" on centers-
4- Panel supports connections shal I be staggered to distribute load to adjacent framing members -
Based on the above evaluation, this office certifies that with the racking and mounting specified, the existing
roof system will adequately support the additional loading imposed by the solar system- This evaluation is in
conformance with the 2015 IR, current industry standards and practice, and is based on information supplied
to us at the time of this report -
Should you have any questions regarding the above or if you require further irdomnation do not hesitate to
contact me -
