Site visit by a representative from our office under my supervision identifying specific interior and <br /> exterior site information including the condition of the existing roof system and the size, spacing, and <br /> condition of existing structural framing members. Information gathered during the site visit includes <br /> photographs, sketches, and verification forms. <br /> 2. Design drawings of the proposed PV System layout, including details to mount the new solar panels to <br /> the existing roof. <br /> Based on the above information, we have evaluated the structural capacity of the existing roof system to support <br /> the additional loads imposed by the solar panels and have the following comments related to our review and <br /> evaluation: <br /> A. Description of Structure: <br /> The existing structure has typical wood framing construction with a maximum of two layers of composite shingle <br /> roofing. All wood material utilized for the roof system is assumed to be Southern Pine#2 or better with standard <br /> construction components. The designed areas of the home consist of.the following framing methods: <br /> • Roof Section: Prefabricated trusses at 24" on center. Survey photos indicate that there was free access <br /> to verify the framing size and spacing. <br /> • Roof Section: Prefabricated trusses at 24" on center. Survey photos indicate that there was free access <br /> to verify the framing size and spacing. <br /> • Roof Section: Prefabricated trusses at 24" on center. Survey photos indicate that there was free access <br /> to verify the framing size and spacing. <br /> • Roof Section: Prefabricated trusses at 24"on center. Survey photos indicate that there was free access <br /> to verify the framing size and spacing. <br /> B. Loading Criteria <br /> 14.66 PSF= Dead Load (roofing/framing) <br /> 3.00 PSF= Dead Load (solar panels/mounting hardware) <br /> 17.66 PSF=Total Dead Load <br /> 20 PSF = Roof Live Load (based on local requirements) <br /> Wind speed of 138 mph (based on Exposure Category B -the total area subject to wind uplift is calculated for the <br /> Interior, Edge, and Corner Zones of the dwelling.). <br /> vivint.Solar° <br /> Page Iof2 A sunrun COMPANY <br />
