To the Building Official:
The following information constitutes a summary of the relevant design criteria and recommendations for the support of a new photovoltaic
[PV]system on the existing roof framing components at the above-referenced location.
Criteria is as follows:
1. Existing roof framing:
Conventional roof framing at R1 and R2 is 2x6 at 24 o.c.; existing rafter span= 11'2"; (horizontal projection)
2. Roof Loading:
• 3.0psf dead load (pounds per square foot-PV panels, mounting rails& hardware)
• 5.7psf-existing roof loads(1.7 psf-2x6 framing, 1.5psf roof sheathing, 2.5 psf shingles)
• Ground Snow Load-40psf-per AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction)
• Wind criteria-Exposure Category B, 117 mph wind
3. Existing roof modification at R1 and R2-A 2x6"strongback"(L-shaped profile of two 2x6s)to be installed in low height areas to
achieve a maximum span of 10'6".
This installation design is in general conformance with the manufacturers'specifications and complies with all applicable laws, codes, and
ordinances—specifically the International Building Code (2015 edition)and the International Residential Code(2015 edition), including all
Massachusetts regulations and amendments.
The spacing and fastening of the mounting brackets is a maximum of 48"o.c. between mounting brackets(staggered)and is secured using
5/16"diameter corrosive-resistant steel lag bolts.A minimum of 21/i'of penetration (embedment)per lag bolt is required, which will resist all
stated loads above—including wind shear. Per NDS Section 12.1.4, clearance holes-equal to the diameter of the shank-need to be
bored into a primary framing member for the full-length of the threaded portion of the bolt to avoid splitting of the framing member.
