Procedures for Meeting Building Codes in Installations
Using SoIarMount Universal Roof Mounts
This bulletin is designed to support applications for building
permits for installations using SolarMount= l.IrOveJsaI Roof
Mounts, manufactured by UnIRac, Inc.
Rlllow the six steps below to instaD SolarMount In compli-
ance with \he Uniform Building Code'" (WhitlieJ; Caiif.:
International conference of BuIlding OfficIals, 1997).
hearafl:er USe.
To meet code, follow this bulletin in conjudion with
SclarMount lnstaliation lnstmctions, Rev. 2 (UniRac Pub. No.
020507-1, May 2002), which is reproduced on pages 9-14.
Before proceeding, note the following:
. This bulletin addresses only wind loads on the
assumption that wind produces the maximum load
factor affeding an installation. verify that other local
factors, such as snow loads and earthquake effirls,
do not exceed the wind loads. Give precedence to
any factor that does.
10<,1 0080
"
. The roof on which the SolarMount will be instaUed
must be capable of withstanding the Design Dead
load and Uve load per footing lisled in Tables 2 and
3 on pages 3-4.
. If the roof on which \he SolarMount wiD be installed
has a pitch of greater than 45 degrees, consult
UniRac before prooeedlng.
1. Determine Basic Wind Sl-.I
at Your Installation Site
For the United States, see the UBC chart, "Minimum Basic
Wind Speeds in Miles per Hour," reproduced below.
If your installatlon is outside the United StatEs or if you need
further assistance, consult a Iocai professional engineer or
your Iocai building authority.

2. Determine the Exposure Category
of Your InstaHation Site
The UBC* defines wind exposure categories as fulIows:
"""""'""'. has terrain witl1 buildings, forests or
sUlface irregularities, covering at least 20 percent of
the ground level area extending 1 mile (1.61l<m) or
more from the site.
EXPOSURE c has terrain that is flat and gene<ally open
extending '12 mile (0.81 km) or more from the site in
any quadrant [or having scattered obstructions
extending one-half mile or more from the site In any
full quadrant This category indudes flat or gently
rolling open counlJy and grasslands. Sites normally
considered as Exposure B, but which are subject 1n
topographic amplification or d1amelization, such as
ridgetops or draws, shall be considered as Exposure
C].t
EXPOSURe 0 represents the most severe exposure in
areas witl1 basic wind speeds of 80 miles per hour
(mph) (129 km/h) or greater and has terrain that is flat
and unobstructed facing large bodies of water over 1
mile (1.61 km) In width relative to any quadrant of the
building site. Exposure D extends inland from the
shoreline V. mile (0.40 l<m) or 10 times the building
height, whichever is greater.
3. Determine the Design Wind Pressure
Required for Your InstaHation
Design Wind Pressure is the amount of wind pressure that a
structure is designed 1n witl1stand, expressed here In pounds
per square foot (pst). To determine the Design WII1d
Pressure required for your installation, apply the following
factors using "!able 1:
. your Basic Wind Speed (determined in step 1),
. your exposure category (determined in step 2), and
. the height of your roof above the ground.
If your values fall Significantly outside the range of the table,
or if your Design Wind Pressure requirement exceeds 50 pst,
oonsult UniRac, a professional engineer, or your local building
authority.
'*UBC, Vol. 2, Structural Engineering Design Provisions, Dlapter

tTlle _ material is fUJt indutJed in theUBC and applies only
to CaIIfomla. See 1998 california BuDding Code (Saaamento:
california Building Standards CommiSsion, 1998), val. 2, p. 38.8.
<Ia. Determine Minimum Design Dead and
live Loads for SIandard Rafter Spacing . . .
foot spacing refers In the space between L -feet (or stand-
offs, if used) along the same SolarMoont raU (see Fig. 2,
page 5). If you are spacing feet In ma1I:h a standard rafter
spacing, ronsull: laIlIe 2 1n determine your M"Hlimum Design
liVe and Dead Loads per footing. (If you want to ma>rimile
foot spacing 1n minimize roof penetrations, skip 1n step 4b on
page 5.)
Locate the make and model of the PV module that you plan
to install and the rafter spadng at your Installation site. Read
the Minimum Design Deed Load and read or extrapolate the
Maximum Foot Spacing allowable for the Design Wind
Pressure you determined In step 3.
To meet rode, you must be verify that the rafters at your
installation site can witl1stand the Design Dead and Live
Loads. For assistance on this point, consult a local profus-
slDnal engineer:

How high above the roof does the Scl/;o. Mo.mt raise
the PV module?
Three factors affect the module's height above the roof:
. SolarMount rails use either L-feet (slarldar<l) or 3-
inch or 6-lnch standoffs (optional).
Frequently Asked Questions About SolarMountâ„¢ Universal Roof Mounts
. SolarMount rail may be fastaned either to the lower
or upper mounting hole of any of these footings.
. L-feet 1m! mounted above the roofing material.
However, standoffs can be mounted either above or
under the roofing material.

What methods are used to seal the roof penebation
required f.... SoIarMount Installati0ns7
There are almost as many se;lDng tedmiques as lIlere ate
roofs. 50 we can't possibly be as thorough as we might Dke
in describing alternatives. Nevertheless, the most 0Jnltll00
installation method for L -feet (standard) is tJeit:ribe<l in
SoIarMount InstiJllation Instructions, reproduced here (see p.
10).
Many types and brands of flashings GID be used with
50larMount standoffs. However, we designed them fur use
with Oarey@) "No-(:alkh flashings. A wide variety of flashings
are described at www.oatey.com.
How do I attach SoIarMounts to a standing-seam
metal root?
Some installers simply cut a hole In the roof fur each fooling
and flash the penetration using various techniques. Howeve;
there is a better way.
Metal Roof Innovations, LtrJ., manufactures the 5-5!rn damp,
designed to attach a wide variety of prodUCl5 to most
standing-seam metal roofs. It is an elegant solution to the
problem of mounting on metal roofs without any penetra-
tions . . . and therefore, eliminating flashings aIlngether.
Our standard SolarMourtt L -feet will mount to the lDp of the
5-S! damps with the 3/8-inch stainless steel bolt provided
with the 5-S! See wwws-5solutiorIs.com fur different damp
models and detaJls regarding InstaRation.
When using 5-S! clamps, make sure that there are enough
damp!L -feet attachments to the metal roof 1D meet the
Metal Roof Manufacturers spe..lfk.dtlvo ,s regarding wind
loads, etc. To be safe, attach damps 1D the SOlarMount rail
at least every 3 feet
If you require additional SoIarMount L-fuet, you can order
them from your UniRac dIstribulnr as kits with your
SolarMounts. Each kit (Item No. SM/FEET) contains two
SolarMount L -feet and the stainless steel hardware to attach
them to the SOlarMount rail, but no lag bolts. Ched< the
SolarMount Ordering In/bnnation, 5i:zing Chart, and Price list
(fur the number of L -feet that ane packed with each SolarM.
aunt so that you do not over order the kits.

Prewiring Modules. If modules are the Plug and Play type, no prewlring is
required, and you can proceed directly to "InstaUing \he First Module" belOw.
If modules have standard J-boxes, each module sho<JId be poewired with ooe
end of the inter-module cable for ease of installation. Rlr safety reasons,
module prewiring should not be performed on the roof.
Leave covers off J-boxes. They wiD be installed when the I"I1OdlOes are inst3lIed
on the rails.
Installing the First Module. Tn por/Talt-mode instalf.afions. the safety bolt
and flange nut must be fastened to the aligned (lower) end of each mil. This
win prevent the lower end damps and damping bolls trom 5fding out of the
rail slot during instaHation.
Slide half of the V.-ind1 damping boI1s onto each rail, spacing !hem evenly
along the rails.
Drop end damps over the damping bolts at \he aHgned end of each raU.
looSely attach them with flange nuts. Allow half an ind1 between the raft ends
and the end damps (Fig. 13). If there is a rebJm cable to the inverter, connect
it to the first module. Close \he J-bo. cover.
Slide the first module ooder the end damps. CentEr and align as needed.
Securely tighten the flange nuts onto the end damps (1(}-12 ft Ibs).
Installing the ~ Modules. Slide the next damping bolt on each rail up
to \he flf'St module. Drop mid-damps over these damping boI1s end loosely
attach them with flange nuts.
Lay the second module face down (glass to glass} on the first module.
Connect intErmodule cable to the second module and dose the J-box cover.
Turn the second module face up (Fig. 14}. Slide it under the mid-damps. Align
it and securely tighten the flange nuts onto \he mid-damps between modules
(Fig. 15).
For a neat installation, fasten cable damps to Rails with seIf-tapping screws.
Repeat the procedure untJl all modules are installed. Attach the outside edge
of the last module to the rail with end damps.
Trim off any excess ralI, being careful not to cut into \he roof. Allow a 'h-ind1
space between the end damp and the end of the rail (Fig. 13}.
Check that all flange nuts on damping boI1s are sea.u-eIy fastened.
