Marx, Jr. P.E. Re: Engineer Statement for Berry Garage, 24190 Main Road, Orient, NY - Solar Photovoltaic Installation I have verified the adequacy and structural integrity of the existing TJI roof rafters for mounting of solar panels and their installation will satisfy the structural roof framing design-loading requirements of the New York State Residential Code -2007 For the installation of the Unimc SolarMount, the rails will be anchored to the TJI beams with L-feet supports located on the center of the 2x4 cross rafters and will be securely fastened to the TJI with lag screws that have been designed for wind speed criteria of 120 mph Exp. B and snow ground criteria of 20 psf. Wind loads will exceed seismic loads. Other climate and geo design criteria are not applicable to this solar installation. The design will meet or exceed Table R301.6 ~om the NYS Residential Code. The solar system and the mounting assemblies will comply with the applicable sections of the New York State Residential Code-Chapter 23 "Solar Systems" and loading requirements of roof-mounted collectors and roof penetrations. Thereby, I endorse the solar panel installation and certify this design, to be structurally adequate. Sincerely, ND'fIFY BL:[L?": - ": ,2--~7 AT 1.

Installer's Responsibilities Please review this manual thoroughly before installing your SolarMount system. This manual provides (1) supporting documentation for building permit applications relating to Unirac's SolarMount Universal PV Module Mounting system, and (2) planning and assembly instxuctions for SolarMount $olarMount products, when installed in accordance with this bulletin, will be structurally adequate and will meet the structural requirements of the IBC 2006, IBC 2003, ASCE 7- 02, ASCE 7-05 and California Building Code 2007 (collectively referred to as "the Code"). Unirac also provides a limited warranty on SolarMount products (page 26). SolarMount is much more than a product. It's a system of engineered components that can be assembled into a wide variety of PV mounting structures. With SolarMount you'll be able to solve virtually any PV module mounting challenge. It's also a system of technical support: complete installation and code compliance documentation, an on-line SolarMount Estimator, person-to-person customer service, and design assistance to help you solve the toughest challenges. Which is why SolarMount is PV's most widely used mounting system. The installer is solely responsible for: · Complying with all applicable local or national building codes, including any that may supersede this manual; · Ensuring that Unirac and other products are appropriate for the particular installation and the installation environment; · Ensuring that the roof, its rafters, connections, and other structural support members can support the array under all code level loading conditions (this total building assembly is referred to as the building structure); · Using only Unirac parts and installer-supplied parts as specified by Unirac (substitution of parts may void the warranty and invalidate the letters of certification in all Unirac publications); · Ensuring that lag screws have adequate pullout strength and shear capacities as installed; · Verifying the strength of any alternate mounting used in lieu of the lag screws; · Maintaining the waterproof integrity of the roof, including selection of appropriate flashing; · Ensuring safe installation of all electrical aspects of the PV array; and · Ensuring correct and appropriate design parameters are used in determining the design loading used for design of the specific installation. Parameters, such as snow loading, wind speed, exposure and topographic factor should be confirmed with the local building official or a licensed professional engineer. $olarMount Un ra¢¢ode-Com liantI stallationManual d UNIRAC Part I. Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load [1.1.] Using the Simplified Method - ASCE 7-05 The procedure to determine Design Wind Load is specified by the American Society of Civil Engineers and referenced in the International Building Code 2006. For purposes of this document, the values, equations and procedures used ia this document reference ASCE 7-05, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. Please refer to ASCE 7-05 if you have any questions about the defmitioas or procedures presented in this manual. Unirac uses Method 1, the Simplified Method, for calculating the Design Wind Load for pressures on components and cladding in this document. The method described in this document is valid for flush, no tilt, SolarMount Series applications on either roofs or walls. Flush is defined as panels parallel to the surface (or with no more than 3" difference between ends of assembly) with no more than 10" space between the roof surface, and the bottom of the PV panels. This method is not approved for open structure calculations. Applications of these procedures is subject to the following ASCE 7-05 limitations: 1. The building height must be less than 60 feet, h < 60. See note for determining h in the next section. For installations on structures greater than 60 feet, contact your local Unirac Distributor. 2. The building must be enclosed, not an open or partially endased structure, for example a carport. g. The building is regular shaped with no unusual geomeu'ical irregularity in spatial form, for example a geodesic dome· 4. The building is not in an extreme geographic locadan such as a narrow canyon or steep diff. 5. The building has a flat or gable roof with a pitch less than 45 degrees or a hip roof with a pitch less than 27 degrees. 6. If your installation does not conform to these requirements please contact your local Uhirac distributor, a local professional engineer or Unirac If your installation is outside the United States or does not meet ali of these limitations, consult a local professional engineer or your local building authority. Consult ASCE 7-05 for more clarification on the use of Method I. Lower design wind loads may be obtained by applying Method II from ASCE 7-05. Consult with a licensed engineer if you want to use Method II procedures. The equation for determining the Design Wind Load for components and cladding is: pnet (psD = AKd pne~o pnet (psf) = Design Wind Load = adjustment factor for height and exposure category = Topographic Factor at mean roof height, h (ft) Importance Factor pnet~O (psf) = net design wind pressure for Exposure B, at height =30, I=I You will also need to know the following information: Basic Wind Speed = V (mph), the largest 3 second gust of wind in the last 50years. h (ft) = total roofheightforflat roof buildings or mean roof height fer pitched roof buildings Effective WindArea (sf) = minimum total continuous area of modules being installed Roof Zone = the area of the roof you are installing the p~ system according to Figure £, page $. Roof Zone Setback Length = a (ft) Roof Pitch (degrees) Eaposure Category [1.2.] Procedure to Calculate Total Design Wind The procedure for determining the Design Wind Load can be broken into steps that include looking up several values in different tables. Step 1: Determine Ba.~ie Wind Speed, V (mph) Determine the Basic Wind Speed, V (mph) by consulting your local building department or locating your installation on the maps in Figure 1, page 4. Step 2: Detel~mtning g. ffectipe Wi~d Area Determine the smallest area of continuous modules you will be installing. This is the smallest area tributary (contributing load) to a support or to a simple-span of rail. That area is the Effective Wind Area. ]r-gN[~' VniracCode-CompliantInstallationManual SolarMount lso(4e) · t3o{s8) Figure 1. Basic Wind Speeds.

Procedure to Select Rail Span and Rail Type [2.1.] Using Standard Beam Calculations, Structural Engineering Methodology The procedure to determine the Unirac SolarMount series rail type and rail span uses standard beam calculations and structural engineering methodology. The beam calculations are based on a simply supported beam conservatively, ignoring the reductions allowed for supports of continuous beams over multiple supports. Please refer to Part I for more information on beam calcuhtions, equations and assumptions. In using this document, obtaining correct results is dependent upon the following: 1. Obtain the Snow Load for your area from your local building official. 2. Obtain the Design Wind Load, pnet. See Part I (Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load) for more information on calculating the Design Wind Load. 3. Please Note: The terms rail span and footing spacing are interchangeable in this document. See Figure 3 for illustrations. 4. To use Table 8 and Table 9 the Dead Load for your specific installation must be less than 5 psf, including modules and Unlrac racking systems. If the Dead Load is greater than 5 psf, see your Unirac distributor, a local structural engineer or contact Unirac. The following procedure will guide you in selecting a Unirac rail for a flush mount installation. It will also help determine the design loading imposed by the Unirac PV Mounting Assembly that the building structure must be capable of supporting. Step 1: Determine the Total Design Load The Total Design Load, P (psf) is determined using ASCE 7-05 2.4.1 (ASD Method equations 3,5,6 and 7) by adding the Snow Loadl, S (pst), Design Wind Load, pnet (psf) from Part I, Step 9 and the Dead Load (pst'). Both Uplift and Downforee Wind Loads calculated in Step 9 of Part 2 must be investigated. Use Table 7 to calculate the Total Design Load for the load cases. Use the maximum absolute value of the three downforce cases and the up[iff case for sizing the raft. Use the uplift case only for sizing lag bolts pull out capacities (Part II, Step 6). P (psf) = LOD + 1.0S1 (downforce case 1) P (psf) = 1.OD + 1.0pnet(downforcecase 2) P (psf) = 1.OD + 0.75S1 + 0.75pnet (downforce case 3) P (psf) = 0.6D + 1.0pna (uplift) D = DcudLoad (ps, f) S = Snow Load (psf) pact = Design Wind Load (psf) (Positive for downforce, negative for uplift) The maximum Dead Load, D (psf), is 5 psfbased on market research and internal data. ~ Snow Load Reduction - The snow load can be reduced according to Chapter 7 of ASC£ 7-05. The reduction is a function of the roof slope, Exposure Factor, Importance Factor and Thermal Farton Please refer to Chapter 7 of ASC£ 7-OS for more information. Note: Modules must be centered symmetrically on the mils (+/. 2 *), as shown in Figure 3. If this is not the case, call Unirac for assistance.

There are two tables, L-Foot SolarMount Series Rail Span Table and Double L-Foot SolarMount Series Raft Span Table. The L-Foot SolarMount Series Rail Span Table uses a single L-foot connection to the roof, wall or stand-off. The point load connection from the raft to the L-foot can be increased by using a double L-foot in the installation. Please refer to the Part III for more installation information. Table 8.

Double L-Foot SolarHount Series Rail Span SM - SolarMount HD - Solariqount Heavy Duty SolarMount Step 4: Select Rail Type Selecting a span and rail type affects the price of yottr installation. Longer spans produce fewer wall or roof penetrations. However, longer spans create higher point load forces on the building su~uccure. A point load fore is the amount of force transferred to the building structure at each connection. It is the installer's resoonsibilitv to verify that the ~uildin~, forces. Step 5: Determine the Downforce Po/hr Load, R (lbs), at each connection based on raft span When designing the Unirac Flush Mount Installation, you must consider the dowlfforee Point Load, R (lbs) on the roof The Downforce, Point Load, R (lbs), is determined by multiplying the Total Design Load, P (psf) (Step 1) by the Rail Span, L (.ft) (Step 3) and the Module Length Perpendicular w the Rails, B fft) divided by two.

Layout with rails pam//e/W rafters, SolarMount VniracCode-CompliantInstallationManual .'.-' UNIRAC [3.2.4] Installing SolarMount rails Keep rail slots free of roofing grit or other debris. Foreign matter will cause bolts to bind as they slide in the slots. In~-~lllng Splices. If yons installation uses SolarMount splice bars, attach the rails together (Fig. 13) before mounting the rails to the footings. Use splice bars only with flush installations or those that use low-profile tilt legs. Although sttucntral, the joint is not as strong as the rail itself. A rail should always be supported by more than one footing on both sides of the splice. (Reference installation manual 908.1, Splices/Expansion Joints.) If using more than one splice per rail, contact Un/rac concern/ng thermal expansion issues. Figure 13. Splice bars slide into the footing bolt slots of $olarMount rail sections. Mounting Rails on Footings. Rails may be attached to either of two mounting holes in the L-feet (Fig. 14). Mount in the lower hole for a low profile, more aesthetically pleasing installation. Mount in the upper hole for a higher profile, which will maximize airflow under the modules. This will cool them more and may enhance perfonuance in hotter climates. Slide the ~-inch mounting bolts into the footing bolt slots~ Loosely attach the rails to the footings with the flange nuts. Ensure that the rails are oriented to the footings as shown in Figure 8, 9, 11, or 12, whichever is appropriate. Aligning the Rail Ends. Align one pair of rail ands to the edge of the installation area (Fig. 15 or Fig. 16). The opposite pair of rail ends will overhang the side of the installation area. Do not trim them off until the installation is complete. If the rails are perpendicular to the rafters (Fig. 15), either end of the rails can be aligned, but the first module must be installed at the aligned end. If the rails are parallel to the rafters (Fig. 16), the aligned end of the rails must face the lower edge of the roof. Securely tighten all hardware after alignment is complete (28-32 ft lbs). Mount modules to the rails as soon ns possible, l~arge temperature changes may bow the rails within a few hours if module placement is delayed. Figure 14.

If modules are the Plug and Play type, no pre-wiring is required, and you can proceed directly to "Installing the First Module" below. If modules have standard J-boxes, each module should be pre-wired with one end of the intermodule cable for ease of installation. For safety reasons, module pre-wiring should not be performed on the roof. Leave covers off J-boxes. They will be installed when the modules are installed on the rails. Installing the First Module. In high-profile instaflations, the sa/ety bolt and flange nut must be fastened to the module bolt slot at the aligned (lower) end of each rail. It will prevent the lower end damps and clamping bolts from sliding out of the rail slot during installation. If there is a return cable to the inverter, connect it to the first module. Close the J-box cover. Secure the first module with T-bolts and end damps at the aligned end of each raft. Allow half an inch between the rail ends and the end damps (Fig.18). Finger tighten flange nuts, center and align the module as needed, and securely tighten the flange nuts (1S ft lbs). Installing the Other Modules. Lay the second module face down (glass to glass) on the first module. Connect intermodule cable to the second module and close the J-box cover. Turn the second module face up (Fig. 17). With T-bolts, mid-clamps and flange nuts, secure the adjacent sides of the first and second modules. Align the second module and securely tighten the flange nuts (Fig. 19). For a neat installation, fasten wire management devices to rails with serf-drilling screws. Repeat the procedure until all modules are installed. Attach the outside edge of the last module to the rail with end damps. Trim off any excess rail, being careful not to cut into the roof. Allow half an inch between the and clamp and the end of the rail (Fig. 18). Check that all flange nuts on T-bolts are torqued to 15 ft lbs.

To significantly reduce its likelihood, (1) apply lubricant to bolts, preferably an anti-sei~e lubricant, available at auto parts stares, (2) shade hard~vare prior W installation, and (3) avoid spinning on nuts at high speed. See Installation Supplement 910, Galling and Its Prevention, at ~.unirac.com. · -'.'-' U N I RAC' UniracCode-Corn~liantInstallationManual SolarMount [3.3.1] Planning the installation area Decide on an arrangement for clips, rails, and L-feet (Fig. 22). Use Arrangement A if the full width of the rails contacts the module. Otherwise use Arrangement B. Caution: If you choose Arransement B, either (1) use the upper mounting holes of the L-feet or (2) be certain that the L-feet and clip positions don~t conflict. If rails mnst be parallel to the rafters, it is unlikely that they can be spaced to match rafters. In that case, add structure supports - either sleepers over the roof or mounting blocks beneath it. These additional members must meet code; ffin doubt, consuk a professional engineen Never secure the footings to the roof decking alone. Such an arrangement will not meet code and leaves the installation and the roof itself vulnerable to severe damage from wind. Leave enough room to safely move around the array during installation. The w/dth of a rail-module assembly equals the length of one module. Note that L-feet may extend beyond the width of the assembly by as much as 2 inches on each side. The length of the assembly equals the total width of the modules. lag bolt cenler$ bolt Figure 22. Clip Arran~ments A and B SolarMount VniracCode-CompliantInstallationManual =rUNIRAC [3.3.2] Laying out the installing L-feet L-feet are used for iustallation through existing low profile roofing material, such as asphalt shingles or sheet metal. They are also used for most ground mount installations. To ensure that the L-feet will be easily accessible during flush installation: · Use the PV module mounting holes nearest the ends of the modules. · Situate the rails so that footing bolt slots face outward. The single slotted square side of the L-foot must always he against the roof with the double-slotted side perpendicular to the roof. Foot spacing (along the same rail) and rail overhang depend on design wind loads. Install half the L-feet: · If rails are perpendicular to rafters (Fig. 23), install the feet closest to the lower edge of the roof. · If rails are parallel to rafters (Fig 24), install the feet for one of the rails, but not both. For the L-feet being installed now, drill pilot holes through the roofing into the center of the rafter at each lag screw hole location. Squirt sealant into the hole and onto the shafts of the lag screws. Seal the underside of the L-feet with a sealant. Secusely fasten the L-feet to the building structure with the lag screws. Ensure that the L-feet face as shown in Figure 23 or Figure 24. Hold the rest of the L-feet and fasteners aside until the panels are ready for the installation. Figure 23.

UNIRAC' VniracCod¢-CompliantInstalladonManual $olarMount [3.3.3] Attaching modules to the rails Lay the modules for a given panel face down on a surface that will not damage the module glass. Align the edges of the modules and snug them together (Fig. 21, page22). Trim the rails to the total width of the modules to be mounted. Place a raft adjacent to the outer mounting holes. Orient the footing bok slot outward. Place a clip slot adjacent to the mounting holes, following the arrangement you selected earlier. Assemble the clips, mounting bolts, and flange nuts. Torque the flange nuts to 1S-foot-pounds. Wire the modules as needed. For safety reasons, module wiring should not be performed on a roof. For a neat installation, fasten cable clamps to rails with se~-tapping SCi%~vVS. [3.3.4] Installing the module-rail assembly Bring the module-raft assembly to the installation site. Keep raft slots free of debris that might cause bolts to bind in the slots. Consider the weight of a fully assembled penel. Unirac recom- mends safety lines whenever lifting one to a roof. Align the panel with the previously installed L-feet. Slide 3/8 inch L-foot mounting bolts onto the rail and align them with the L-feet mounting holes. Attach the panel to the L-feet and finger tighten the flange nuts. Rails may be attached to either of two mounting holes in the footings (Fig. 25). · Mount in the lower hole for a low, more aethetically pleasing installation. · Or mount in the upper hole to maximize a cooling airflow under the modules. This may enhance perfor- mance in hotter climates. Adjust the position of the panel as needed to fit the installa- tion area. Slide the remaining L-feet bolts onto the other rail, attach L-feet, and finger tighten with flange nuts. Align L-feet with mounting holes previously drilled into the roof. Install lag bolts into remaining L-feet as described in"Laying out and installing L-feet" above. Torque all footing flange nuts to 30 pounds. Verify that all lag bolts are securely fastened.
