Specifically: 1) the system is designed for the local wind speed; 2) the ground snow load does not exceed 70 psf; 3) <br /> the total dead load of all items is less than 4 psf (actual value is approximately2.65 psf); 4) Modules are not <br /> mounted more than 18" off the roof; and 5) Supports are installed such that the dead load is spread across roof- <br /> framing members and does not exceed 50 lbs at any point. <br /> 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 <br /> Austen.Morfin@solgenpower.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Trevor A.
