Wind uplift on the panels has been calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of ASCE 7-16. This loading <br />has been used to verify the adequacy of the connection specified above. Connection locations should be in <br />accordance with design drawings. <br />Conclusion <br />The roof structure need not be altered for either gravity or lateral loading. Therefore, the existing structure is <br />permitted to remain unaltered. Connections to the roof must be made per the "Roof Connection Details" section <br />above. Copies of all relevant calculations are enclosed. <br />Limitations and Disclaimers <br />The opinion expressed in this letter is made in reliance on the following assumptions: the existing structure is in <br />good condition; the existing structure is free from defects in design or workmanship; and the existing structure was <br />code -compliant at the time of its design and construction. These assumptions have not been independently <br />verified, and we have relied on representations made by the property owner and his or her agents with respect to <br />the foregoing. The undersigned has not inspected the structure for patent or latent defects. <br />Electrical engineering is beyond the scope of this analysis. Solar panels must be installed per manufacturer <br />specifications. Structural design and analysis of the adequacy of solar panels, racks, mounts, rails, and other <br />components is performed by each component's respective manufacturer and the undersigned makes no statement <br />of opinion regarding such components. This letter and the opinions expressed herein are rendered solely for the <br />benefit of the permitting authority (city or county building department), and may not be utilized or relied on by any <br />other party. <br />If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office at (855)-709-1181, or email me directly at <br />Trevor.Jones@solgenpower.com. <br />Sincerely, <br />Trevor A.
