ENGINEERED POWER SOLUTIONS <br />72 SOUTH MAIN STREET, SUITE A <br />TEMPLETON, CA 93465 <br />Solar Warehouse Rail Analysis – Generic Packet <br />• Results: <br />The results of this analysis are presented on the following pages in the form of rail <br />span summary tables based on the design scenarios provided by SWH. The final <br />results are specified as maximum span of the rail under each specific scenario. Also <br />included are diagrams showing the acceptable locations of the SHW rail splice based <br />on the rail span conditions. <br />• Limitations and Assumptions: <br />This Structural Documentation Packet is not in reference of any specific project and <br />only addresses the allowable spans of the proposed rail concept as a product for the <br />generic design assumptions shown in this packet. It is recommended that these <br />charts be used as an estimation tool only and a site specific analysis be performed by <br />a licensed engineer for each project. Sites with design scenarios which differ and/or <br />are outside the scenarios specified in this packet must be addressed by a licensed <br />design professional on a site specific basis. Any changes to the required design <br />results in the following tables must be approved by EPS prior to implementation. <br />EPS has not checked and is not responsible for the structural adequacy of the <br />existing structure, nor is EPS responsible for the existing structure’s ability to <br />support the design loads imposed by the proposed PV system. This includes changes <br />to the distribution of wind/snow design loads caused by the PV addition. It is also <br />possible that a shorter rail span than those approved by the charts in this packet is <br />required due to limitations of the building’s structural framing, components, and <br />cladding (roofing). It is the solar designer ’s and/or owner’s responsibility to ensure <br />that the structural aspects of the existing structure(s) affected by this new rooftop <br />PV installation are addressed by a licensed engineer on a site specific basis and as <br />required by the governing jurisdiction. <br />Page 5 <br />2004 W Picasso - <br />2018062008/29/23
