Vreeland Design Associates Re: Kathy Gleason, 92 Fern Street, Northampton, MA: Structural assessment of existing house and garage roofs to support reinstalled existing PV solar panel arrays. I have investigated the existing roof framing of the house and attached garage for the reinstallation of the existing PV solar panel arrays. The existing solar panels were removed to allow the roofs to be re-shingled. The 28'x 42', 1-3/4-story contemporary house with a 22'x 22', 1-story garage was built in 1993. 18 PV solar panels are to be reinstalled on the back south facing roof of the house and 10 solar panels reinstalled on the back south facing roof of the garage. The house roof is framed with 2x10 rafters installed 16" on-center, spanning 13'-8" with a 6/12± roof pitch. The garage roof is framed with 2x4 Fink designed roof trusses installed 16"on-center, spanning 22' with a 6/12± roof pitch. The roofing is composite asphalt shingles. I have reviewed the mounting details for the proposed PV solar panel arrays. Based on my calculations and a PV solar panel unit weight of 46 lbs±, with the attachment points of the solar panel arrays placed at a maximum of 4' on center and staggered to minimize the load to any one rafter and roof truss, the existing house and garage roof framing are adequate to support the proposed PV solar panel arrays and the snow and wind load requirements of the current 9th Edition of the MA State Building Code for the City of Northampton. Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information. Sincerely, \yN OF Il4ss4c DAVID A.

May we be allowed to reinstall this existing solar in the same configuration it is currently installed after the roof is replaced? Note,the system utilizes Micro Inverter technology,so it is compliant with the current Rapid Shutdown requirements in the NEC,and there is no voltage>60 V DC present anywhere in the system when the Rapid Shutdown disconnect is engaged. 4 ., h - , y/ • MY 106i, '.ate ;, - , 7 .4 - . -41.1i11 - .---------—:'"°"- 4— 1 'II'' : si.,0 ',', 4,..f47,..4, .—::.2,1‘.'.
