Installation shall proceed in accordance with the applicable guidelines and recommendations indicated below. <br /> If, during solar panel installation, the roof framing members appear unstable or deflect non-uniformly, our office <br /> should be notified before proceeding with the installation. <br /> • EcoFasten Solar Installation Manual, which can be found on the EcoFasten Solar website <br /> (www.ecofastensolar.com). <br /> 2. The solar panels are 11/2'thick and mounted 41/2" off the roof for a total height off the existing roof of 6". At no <br /> time will the panels be mounted higher than 6"above the existing plane of the roof. <br /> 3. The following mounting types shall be used. Please refer to the mounting details for the associated required <br /> penetration depth. Based on our evaluation, the pullout demand is less than the maximum allowable per <br /> connection and therefore is adequate. <br /> • EcoFasten Solar: (1) 5/16" lag screw. Pullout capacity based on National Design Specifications (NDS) <br /> of timber construction specifications for Southern Pine is 235 Ibs/inch penetration. <br /> 4. The maximum allowed spacing was calculated for the Wind Speed shown in paragraph B above, using the wind <br /> load uplift procedures of ASCE 7-10 and is specified below. These spacing requirements apply to all mount <br /> types indicated above. The following values have been verified by in-house testing and the mounting hardware <br /> manufacturers' data, which are available upon request. Panel support connections should be staggered,where <br /> possible,to distribute load to adjacent members. <br /> Modules in Landscape Modules in Portrait <br /> Roof Zone Interior Ede Corner Interior Ede Corner <br /> Max Vertical Spacing in 40 40 40 66 66 66 <br /> Max Horizontal Spacing in 48 48 48 48 48 48 <br /> Max Uplift Load Ibs 369 294 271 623 495 457 <br /> E.Summary <br /> Based on the above evaluation,with the structural repairs completed as prescribed and appropriate panel anchors <br /> being utilized,the roof system designed on will adequately support the additional loading imposed by the solar <br /> panels, if installed correctly.This evaluation has been performed for the structural elements only and verifies that <br /> they are in conformance with the 2017 Florida Building Code- Residential 6th Edition, current industry standards <br /> and practice, and the information supplied to us at the time of this report. <br /> If there are any questions regarding the above, or if more information is required, please contact me. <br /> HE IM <br /> Regards, <br /> J.
