UniracCo e-Corn antlnsta a onManua unFrame i. Installer's Responsibilities Please review this manua! thoroughly before installing your SunFrame system. This manual provides (1) supporting documentation for building permit applications relating to Unirac's SunFrame Universal PV Module Mounting system, and (2) planning and assembly instructions for SunFrame SunFrame products, when installed in accordance with this bulletin, will be structurally adequate and will meet the structural requirements oftbe IBG 2006, IBC 2003, ASCE 7- 02, ASCE 7-05 and Galifornia Building Code 2007 (collectively referred to as "the Gode'). Unirac also provides a limited warranty on SunFrame products (page 30). SunFrame offers finish choices and low, clean lines that become as natural a part of a home as a skylight. It delivers the installation ease you've come to expect from Unirac. Whether for pitched roofs and parking roof structures, SunFrame was designed from the outset to promote superior aesthetics. Modules are flush mounted in low, gap-flee rows, and visible components match clear or dark modufe flames. 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 stxuctural 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 pares 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. SunFrame UniracCode-CompliantInstallationManual ,. [J~"~l{~,~ Part I. Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load [1.1.] Using the Simplified Method - ASGE 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 in this document reference ASGE 7-05, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Please refer to ASC£ 7-05 if you have any questions about the definitions 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 descnZed in this document is valid for flush, no tik, SunFrame 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 folfowing 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 bo enclosed, not an open or partially enclosed structure, for example a carport. 3. The building is regular shaped with no unusual geometrical irregularity in spatial form, for example a geodesic dome. 4. The building is not in an extreme geographic location such as a narrow canyon or steep cliff. 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 Unirac distributor, a local professional engineer or Unirac If your installation is outside the United States or does not meet all of these limitations, consult a local professional engineer or your local building authority. Consult ASCE 7-05 for mom clarification on the use of Method I. Lower design wind loads may bo obtained by applying Method II from ASCE 7-05. Consult with a licensed engineer if you want to use Method 1I procedures. The equation for determining the Design Wind Load for components and cladding is: p,et (psf) = AKzd p,~t~o pnet (ps]') = Design Wind Load = adjustment factor for height and exposure category = Topographic Factor at mean roof height, h (ft) Importance Factor pn~tso (psi9 = net design wind pressure for Expnsure B, at height =30, I=1 You will also need to know the following information: Basic Wind Speed = V (mph), the largest 3 second ~t of wind in the last5Oyears. h (ft) = total roofheightforflat roof buildings or mean roof height for pitched roof bufidings Effective Wind grea (sf) = minimum total continuous area of modules being installed Roof Zone = the area of the roof yan are installing the pv system according to Figure 2, page 5. Roof Zone Setback Length = a (ft) Roof Pitch (degrees) Exposure 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 Basic 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: Deterrotnlng Effective Wind 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. ii::~ ~J ~i'~ I ~:~!'.':~. L.

Step ii: Determine the Topographic Factor, K~t For the purposes of this code compliance document, the Topographic Factor, K~e, is taken as equal to one (1), meaning, the installation is on level ground (less than 10% slope). If the installation is not on level ground, please consult ASCE 7-05, Section 6.5.7 and the local building authority to determine the Topographic Factor. Step 6: Determine Exposure Category (B, C, D) Determine the Exposure Category by using the following definitions for Exposure Categories. TheASCF./SE/7-05* defines wind exposure categories as follows: ~xvoso~ a is urban and suburban areas, wooded areas, or other terrain with numerous closely spaced obstructions having the size of single family dwellings. EXPOSUR~ c has open terrain with scattered obstruc- tions having heights generally less than 30 feet. This category includes flat open country, grasslands, and all water surfaces in hurricane prone regions. I~POSUR~ O has flat, unobstructed areas and water surfaces outside hurrican prone regions. This category includes smooth mud flats, salt fiats, and unbroken ice. Also see ASCE 7-05 pages 287-291 for further explanation and explanatory photographs, and confirm your selection with the local building authority. ~:~ U ~.l ~ N;~..;~.L.

Procedure to Select Rail Span and Rail Type [2.1.] Using Standard Beam Galculations, Structural Engineering Methodology The procedure to determine the Unirac SunFrame 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 calculations, 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 Unkac 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 TotalDesign Load, P (psf) is determined using ASCE 7-05 2.4.1 (ASD Method equations 3,5,6 and 7) by adding the Snow Load1, S (pst), Design Wind Load, pnet (psf) from Part 1, Step 9 and the Dead Load (ps]). Both Uplift and Downforce Wind Loads calculated in Step 9 of Part 2 must be investigated. Use Table 7 to calculate the Total Design Load for the toad cases. Use the maximum absolute value of the three downforce cases and the uplift case for sizing the rail. Use the uplift case only for sizing lag bolts pull out capacities (Part II, Step 6). P [psf) = 1.OD + 1.0S1 (downforce case 1) P (psf) = 1.OD + 1.0pnet (downforce case 2) P (psf) = 1.OD + 0.75Sl + 0.75pnet (downforce case 3) P (pSf) = 0.6D - 1.0pnet (uplift) O = DeadLoad (psf) S = SnowLoad (ps.O pnet = Design Wind Load (psfJ The maximum Dead Load, D (psf), is 5 psfbased on market research and internal data. 1 Snow Load Reduction - The snow load can be reduced according to Chapter 7 of ASCE 7-05. The reduction ts a function of the roof slope, Exposure Factor, Importance Factor and Thermal Factor. Please refer to Chapter 7 of ASCE 7-05for more information. Figure 3. Rail span and footing spacing are interchangeable. Note: Modules must be centered symraetrically on the rails (+/- 2 *), us shown in Figure 3. If this is not the case, call Unirac for assistance.

We assume each module is supported by one rail. w=PB w = Distributed Load (pounds per linear foot, plf) B = Module Length Perpendicular to Rails (ft) P = TotalDesign Pressure (pounds per square foot, psf) Step 3: Determine Rail Span/L-Foot Spacing Using the distributed load, w, from Part II, Step 2, look up the allowable spans, L, for SunFrame. There are two tables, L-Foot SunFrame Series Rail Span Table and Double L-Foot SunFrame Series Rail Span Table. The L-Foot SunFrame Series Rail Span Table uses a single L-foot connection to the roof, wall or stand-off. The point load connection from the rail to the L-foot can be increased by using a double L-foot in the installation. Please refer to Part III for more installation information. Table 8.

Unirac Code-Compliant lnstallation Manual SunFrame Table 9. Double L-Foot SunFrame Series Rail Span Step 4: Select Rail Type Selecting a span affects the price of your installation. Longer spans produce fewer wall or roof penetrations. However, longer spans create higher point load forces on the building structure. A point load force is the amount of force transferred to the building structure at each connection. It is the installer's resvonsibilitv to verify that the buildine structure is stron~t enomth to suo~ort the ~oint load forces. Step S: Determine the Downforee Point Load, R (/bs), at each connection based on rail span When designing the Unirac Flush Mount Installation, you must consider the downforce Point Load, R (lbs) on the roof The Downforce, Point Load, R (~bs), is determined by multiplying the Total Design Load, P (psf) (Step 1) by the Pa// Span, L (ft.)

Placing modules and cap strips, beginning with the highest row and moving down the roof. The following illustrated steps describe the procedure in detail. Before beginning, please note these important considerations. Footings must be lagged into structural members. Never attach them to the deck/ng Aalone, lvhich leaves both the array and roof susceptible to severe damage. For array widths or lengths greater than 32feet, contact Unirac concerning thermal expanswn lssues. Sample layout, illustrated in Figure 4 Assumptions: 12 modules (60' x 36 '), arranged in 3 rows of 4 modules Array width = 144 ' [36' module width x 4 modules per row) Array length = 180' (60' module length x 3 rows) + 3' (1vz ' end rail width x 2 rails) + ll,5' (3'4 ' between-module rail width x 2 rails) 1. Laying out the installation area Always install gunFrame rails perpendicalar to rafters. (These instructions assume typical rafters that run from the gutter to the peak of the roof. If this is not the case, contact Unirac.) Rails are typically mounted horizontally (parallel to the lower edge of the roof), and mast be mounted within 10 degrees of horizontal. Leave adequate room to move safely around the array during installation. During module installation, you will need to slide one module in each row about a foot beyond the end of the rails on one side. Using the number of rows and the number of modules per row in your instai]ation, determine the size of your array area following Figure 6.

SunFrame Unirac Code-Compliant lnstallation Manual 2. Installing the lowest row of L-feet and rail In the lowest row, it is not necessary to use L-foot adjusting sliders, even if you plan to use them in subsequent rows. Install L-feet directly onto low profile roofing material such as asphalt shingles or sheet metal. (For high profile roofs, such as tile or shake, use optional standoffs with flashing to raise L-feet. L-feet must be flush with or above the highest point of the roof surface.) L-feet can be placed with the double-slotted side against the roof surface ~as in Fig. 7) or with the single-slotted side against the roof [which increases air drculation beneath modules). Module-to-roof dimensions are listed on page 15 for both ar- rangements. AIf you are using L-foot adjusting sliders, you must use the short side of the the L-foot against the roof in the first row. See Figure 9 below. If you are using both L-foot adjusting sliders and standoffs, see the upper box on page 11. Install the first mw of L-feet at the lower edge of the instal- lation area (Fig. 8~ Ensure feet are aligned by using a chalk line. (A SunFrame rail can also be used as a straight edge.) Position the L-feet with respect to the lower edge of the roof as illustrated in Figures 7 and 8. Drill a pilot hole through roof into the center of the rafter at each L-foot lag screw hole location. Apply weatherproof sealant into the hole and onto shafts of the lag screws. Seal the underside of the L-feet with a suitable weatherproof sealant. Fasten the L-feet to the roof with the lag screws. If the double slotted sides of the L-feet are against the roof, lag through the slot nearest the bend in the L-foot (Figs. 7 and 8).

Installing the second rall With L-feet only (Fig. 3.2): Install and align the second rail in the same manner and orientation as the first rail. After rail alignment, tighten the rail mounting bolts to between 30 and 35 foot-pounds. Lay one module in place at one end of the rails, and snug the upper raft (Fig. 12) toward the lower rail, leaving no gap between the ends of the modules and either raft. Uf pan-head screw heads represent the true end of the modules, be sure the screw heads touch the rails on both ends.) Tighten the lag screw on that end. glide the module down the rails, snugging the rails and tightening the remaining ]ag screws as you go. with L-foot adjusting sliders: Install rails on first and second rows of L-feet. Verify spacing by placing a module onto the rails at several points along the row. Adjust L-foot positions as needed. Figure 12. Position and secure top rd/. 5. Installing remaining L-feet and rails Install the L-feet and the rails for the remaining rows, follow- ing Stops 3 and 4. You may use the same module m space all the rows. When complete, confirm that: · AH rails are fitted and aligned. · All footingbolts and lag screws are secure. · The module used for fitting is resting (but not se- cured) in the highest row. u U~l ,,. ,.,.~, UniracCode-CompliantlnstallationManual SunFrame Material planning for Preplanning material use for your particular array can prevent structural or aesthetic problems, particularly those caused by ver3~ short lengths of rail or cap strip. This example illustrates one approach. Structural requirements for rails are detailed in "Footing and splicing requirements" (p.11). Structurally, cap strips require: · A screw in every prepuncbed hole (which occur every 8 inches, beginning 4 inches from the ends of the rails). · One screw 4 inches or less from the each end of every rail segment. Wherever there is no prepunched hole within 4 inches of an end of a segment, drill a 1/4-inch hole 2 inches from the end of the segment and install a cap strip sccew. 0n most cases, you can avoid this situation with good material planning.) Structural requirements always take precedence, but usually good planning can also achieve both material conservation and superior aesthetics. This example conserves material and achieves two specific aesthetic goals: · Cap strip screws must align across the mils. · End screws must be equidistant from both sides of the array. The example assumes an array of three rows, each holding five modules 41 inches wide. Thus, four 205-inch mil rails and cap strips assemblies and cap strip assemblies need to be cut and spliced from 192-inch sections of rail and cap strip. The example illustrates one means of doing so, without violating structural requirements or aesthetic goals. Rail segments come from five 192-inch lengths, lettered A thru E. Rail A, for example, is cut into two 96-inch segments, with one segment spliced into each of the first two mils. Similarly, five 192-inch cap strips are designated V through Z. All cap strip segments are cut ar the midpoint between prepunched screw holes. For each rail, start with the cap strip segment that crosses the array center line, and position over the center line so that the appropriate holes are spaced equally on either side. Position each cap strip onto its rail and mark its trim point. Remove and trim before final mounting. Preliminary footing and splice positions must be checked against structural requirements in "Footing and splicing requirements" (p.11). In this example, the center of the array is offset 2 inches from the center ~lfter. This prevents ralI splices BD (3rd rail) and CE (4th rail)from falling too close to the center of the spans between footiags (Requirement 3, p. 11). Because foot- i~ are notvlsible from ground level, there is negligible aesthetic loss.

Securing the first module Gather sufficient lengths of cap strip to cover the length of the first rail. For maximum visual appeal and material conservation see "Material planning for mils and cap strips" (p. 13). Slide the first module into final position at one end of the array. Lay the remaining modules in the top row, leaving a gap about a Eot wide between the first and second modules (Fig. 13). The temporary gap allows the installer to place one of his leet between modules. He can access the section of the cap strip he needs to secure while leaning toward the peak of the roof. For the time being, the last module may overhang the rail by up to one third its width. Attach the end o£tbe cap strip with the cap strip screws (Fig. 13, inset), so that the upper end of the first module is Figure 13. Begin cap strip installation. AT he structural integrity of your array requires that cap strip screws fully engage the threaded rail. Use the cap strip screws supplied with your cap strips. Any substitute screws must be ~-20 ~/pe F thread cutting (18-8 stainless steel) and the correct length. See Table 4 (pg. 15) to match screw length w the si~e cap strip in your installation. AEvery cap strip segment must have a cap strip screw 4 inches or less from each end. If the nearest predrilled hole fulls more than 4 inshes from any end, drill a ~-insh hole 2 inches from the end and install an additional AWherever necessary to a new cap strip it hole, drill a V~-inch hole before installing the cap strip screw. 7. Installing the remaining modules in the top row Slide the next module into final position and install the screws to secure it (Fig. 14). For a neat installation, use cable ties to attach excess wiring to the rail beneath the flanges, Unirads cable ties can be attached to the SunFrame rail by drilling a V,-inch hole in the rail and pushing the end of the tie into the hole. Gontinue the process until all modules in the top row are in final place and secured from the top. When complete, every prepunched hole in the cap strip will be secured by a screw, and the top end of the first row of modules will be secure. 8. Installing the remaining modules row by row Repeat Steps 6 and 7 for the remaining rows (Fig. 15). Each subsequent cap strip will secure the tops to the modules being installed and the bottoms of the modules in the row above. Place the final cap strip in the lowest rail, securing the bottom of the lowest module row. Figure 14. Position and secure modules one by one. Figure 15. As modules slide into place, the stepping gap shifts, always allowing access m the section of cap strip being secured. ~:~U~.:i.;~.~.L., UmracCode-ComphantlnstallattonManual SunFrame 9.

The answer depends on the orientation of your L-feet and the length of your standoffs, if used. See the illustration ap- propriate to your installation. How can I seal the roof penetration required when standoffs are lagged below the roofing material? Many types and brands o f flashing can be used with Sun- Frame. Unirac offers an Oatey® "No-Calk" flashings for its steel standoffs and Oatey® or Unirac flashings for its aluminum two-pieee standoffs. See our SunFrame Pro-Pak Price List. How do I attach gunFrame to a standing-seam metal roof?. A good solution comes from Metal Roof Innovations, Ltd. (MRI). They manufacture the S-5! ~ clamp, designed to at- tach a wide variety of products to most standing-seam metal roofs. It is an elegant solution that eliminates flashings and penetrations altogether.
