Solar Energy Installation for
David Olsen
330 Laurel Ct
Laurel, NY 11948
I have reviewed the solar energy system installation at the subject address. The units have been installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and the approved construction drawing. I have
determined that the installation meets the requirements of the 2007 NYS Building Code, and ASCE7-05,
specific to the fastening of panels to the roof, to comply with the NYS code re: 120 mph winds.
To my best belief and knowledge, the work in this document is accurate, conforms with the governing codes
applicable at the time of submission, conforms with reasonable standards of practice, with the view to the
safeguarding of life, health, property and public welfare

i. 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 instructions for SolarMount
SolarMount 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.
