This letter summarizes the methods that were used to survey, evaluate, and certify <br />the existing roof framing and the attachment of the new solar panels to it. <br />STRUCTURAL DESIGN <br />Building Code:California Residential Code 2022 <br />Design Standards:ASCE 7-16 <br />Snow:Ground: pg= 0.0 psf | Flat Roof: pf= 0.0 psf | Sloped Roof: ps= 0.0 psf <br />Wind:Ultimate Wind Speed = 96.0 mph | Exposure = C <br />Seismic:Risk Category = 2 | Seismic Design Category = A | Site Class = D <br />STRUCTURE <br />Field Technicians from Sunrun visited the site and observed the existing structure : <br />Array Name Panel Quantity Roof Framing Material Pitch <br />Array 1 7 2x4 Rafter| 24" o.c.Asphalt Shingles 21° <br />ANCHORAGE <br />The solar panel anchorage shall be installed according to the manufacturer's most current installation manual. The <br />attachment configuration should match the certified building plans. The solar panels should be mounted parallel (max 5 <br />inches) to the roof surface. <br />Array Name Connection Type Fastener Max Anchorage Spacing <br />Array 1 SpeedSeal Deckfoot (into rafter) <br />(2) #14 SS screws into rafter <br />(2) #14 SS screws into deck <br />(1.5" embedment) into roof <br />substructure <br />72" <br />Installation Instructions <br />Solar panels and the equipment shall be installed per the manufacturer's installation specifications. Improper installation <br />will void this certification. If deviations from the approved structural plans occur, Right Angle Engineering must be <br />notified. Prior to installation, the installer should: <br />•Confirm that the existing structure matches the information provided in the site survey, the approved installation <br />plans and this certification. <br />•Identify discrepancies between this certification and the approved installation plans. If found, then this <br />certification shall govern. <br />•Identify structural elements that are dangerous (cracked, broken, excessive sag, signs of overstress, rot, decay, <br />fire, water). If found, installation shall cease until those elements are adequately abated and made to comply with <br />the referenced building code. <br />•Verify that both the existing structure and the solar addition has been permitted through the AHJ. <br />757 Technology Ave, F31 | Orem, UT 84097 | 925-787-3067 | www.rightangleeng.com | Page 1 of 6 <br />2140 S Broadway <br />3/21/2025
