P a g e 2 o f 2 <br />D. S o l ar P a n e l A n c h o r a g e <br />1. The solar panels shall be mounted in accordance with the m ost recent Unirac instalation manual. <br />If during solar panel installation, the roof framing m em bers ap p ear unstable or deflect non- <br />uniformly, our office should be notified before proceeding with the installation. <br />2. The max i mum allowable withdrawal force for a 5/16? lag screw is 229 Ibs per inch of penetration as <br />identified in the National Design Standards (N D S } of timber construction specifications. Based on <br />a m i nim um penetration depth of 2/4?, the allowable capacity per connection is greater than the <br />design withdrawal force (demand). Considering the variable factors for the existing roof frami ng <br />and installation tolerances, the connection using one 5/16? diameter lag screw with a m i nim um of <br />2%" em bedm ent will be adequate and will include a sufficient factor of safety. <br />3. Considering the wind speed, roof slopes, size and spacing of framing members, and condition of <br />the roof, the panel supports shall be placed no greater than 72? on center. <br />B a s e d on t h e a b o v e ev al uation , th i s of f i ce certi fies th at w ith t h e rac k i ng a n d m o u n t i n g s p ec i f i ed, the exi sti ng <br />r oo f s y s t e m will a d e q u a t e l y s u p p o r t the additional l o adi ng i m p o s e d by t h e s o l a r s y s t e m .
