Please write to pubhleatlons @unirac.com. ~UNIRAC VniracCode-CompliantInstallationManual SunFrame i. Installer's Responsibilities Please review this manual 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 of the IBC 2006, IBG 2003, ASCE 7- 02, ASGE 7-05 and California Building Gode 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 fi~om the outset to promote superior aesthetics. Modules are flush mounted in low, gap-free rows, and visible components match clear or dark module frames. The installer is solely responsible for: · Gomplying 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. SunFrame UniracCode-CornpliantlnstallationManual 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 Giv/l Engineers and referenced in the International Building Gode 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 ASCE 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 described in this documem is valid for flush, no tilt, 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 W 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 Uinrac Distributor 2. The building must be 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 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 Cpsf) = AKzd p,et~o pnet (psf) = Design Wind Load · ~ = adjustment factor for height and exposure category K~t = Topographic Factor at mean roof height, h (ft) I = Importance Factor p.~o (psf) = net design wind pressure for Exposure B, at height =$O,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 for pitched roof buildlags Effective WindArea (s f) = minimum total continuous area of modules being installed Roof Zone = the area of the roof you are iastalllng the pv system according to Figure 2, page 5. Roof Zone Setback Length = a Oft) Roof Pitch (degrees) Exposure Category [1.2.] Procedure to Calculate Total Design Wind The procedure for determin/ng 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: Determining Effective Wind Area Determine the smallest area of continuous modules you will be/nstalling. This is the smallest area tributary (contributing load) to a support or to a simple-span of raft. That area is the Effective Wind Area. · UNIRAC VniracCode-CompliantInstallationManual SunFrame Miles per hour (melers per second) Figure 1. Basic Wind Speeds. Adapted and applicable tv ASCE 7-05.

Step 5: Determine the Topographic Factor,/~t For the purposes of this code compliance document, the Topographic Factor, Kzt, 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 Gategories. The ASCE/SEI 7-05* defines wind exposure categories as follows: £~osvR~ B is urban and suburban areas, wooded areas, or other terrain with numerous closely spaced obstructions having the size of single family dwellings. E~osu]~ 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. E~a'OSURE n has flat, unobstructed areas and water surfaces outside hurricane prone regions. This category includes smooth mud fiats, salt flats, 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. PAC' Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual SunFrame Step 7: Determine adjustment factor for height and exposure category, A Using the Exposure Category (Step 6) and the roof height, h (ft) , look up the adjustment factor for height and exposure in Table 4.

Procedure to Select Rail Span and Rail Type [2.1.] Using Standard Beam Galculations, Structural Engineering Methodology The procedure to determine the Unirac Suul:rame 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, ignor/ng 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 Uulrac racking systems. If the Dead Load is greater than 5 psf, see your Unlrac distributor, a local structural engineer or contact Unlrac. The following procedure will guide you in seiecting a Unlrac rail for a flush mount installation. It will also help determine the design loading imposed by the Unlrac PV Mounting Assembly that the building structure must be capable of supporting. Step 1: Deternsine 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 Load1, S (psf), Design Wind Load, pnet (psf) from Part I, Step 9 and the Dead Load (psf). 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 load cases. Use the maximum absolute value of the three downforee 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.OS1 (downforce case 1) P (psf) = 1.OD + 1.0pnet (downforee case 2) P (psf) = 1.OD + 0.75S1 + 0.75pnet (downforee case 3) P (ps7") = 0.6D + 1.Ophir Cuplfft) D = Dead Load (psf) S = SnowLoad (psD pnet = Design Wind Load (psf) 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 is a function of the roof slope, Fzcposure 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 symmetrically on the rails (+/- 2*), ns shown in Figure 3. If this is not the case, call Unirac for assistance.

Use the maximum absolute value of the three downforce cases and the Uplift Case. We assume each module is supported by one rail. w -- Distributed Load (pounds per linear foot, plf) B = Module Length Perpendicular W Rails (ft) P = Total Design Pressure (pounds per square foot, psf) Step 3: Determine Rail Span/L-Foot Spacing Using the distributed load, w, from part [I, 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.

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 resnonsibilitv to verify that the building structure is stron~ enough to suooort the noint load forces. Step 5: Determine the Downforce Point Load, R (lbs), 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 structure. The Downforce, Point Load, R (lbs), is determined by multiplying the Total Design Load, P (pst) (Step 1) by the Rail Span, L (ft) (Step 3) and the Module Length Perpendicular to the Rails, B (fi:). R (lbs) R = PointLoad P = TotaIDesign Load (psf) L = Rail Span (ft) B = Module Length Perpendicular to Rails (ft) It is the installer's responsibility to verify that the building structure is strong enough to support the maximum point loads calculated according to Step S.

Laying out the installation area and planning for material conservation. B. Installingfootingsandrails, beginningwiththelowestrowandmovinguptheroof. C. Placingmodulesandcapstrips, beginningwiththehighestrowandmovingdowntheroof. 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 decking Aalone, which leaves both the array and roofsusreptible to severe damage. For array ~.idths or lengths greater than 32feet, contact Unirac concerning thermal 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' (1¥2' end railwidthx 2 rails) + 1¥2 ' (¥4' between-module rail width x 2 rails) = 184V~ ' 1 ~' at each end of array 1. Laying out the instaUation area Always install SunFrame rails perpendicular 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 Unlrac.) Rails are typically mounted horizontally (parallel to the lower edge of the roof), and must 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 installation, determine the size of your array area following Figure 6. Array length Array width (module width times modules per row) Figure 6. Installation area layout. Note: Module length is not neces- sarily measured.from the edges of the frame. Some.frames ha~e lips. Others are assembled with pan-head screws. All such features must be included in module lenfft~ SunFrame UniracCode-CompliantInstallationManual UNIRAC' 2. Installing the lowest row of L-feet and rail In the lowest row, k 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 circulation beneath modules). Module-to-roof dimensions are listed on page 15 for both ar- rangements. AIfyou 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. L feet Lag Install the first row 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 raft 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). / ~ ~'/ , ' neorefl the bend --------/-~in the L-foot ~...~'A Lower edge of indal~ion ~ Utility slol for I/r~4'' Utility slot for No. 10 screw Roof peak Finite Z Placement of first L-foot row.

L-Foot orienmtiom assemble them prior to attaching L-feet (see "Footing and splicing require- ments," p. 11, and "Material planning for rafts and cap strips," p. 13). Slide the s/s-inch mounting bolts into the footing slots. If more than one splice is used on a rail, slide L-foot bolt(s) into the footing slot(s) of the interior rail segment(s) before splicing. Loosely attach the rails to the L-feet with the flange nuts. Ensure that rails are oriented with respect to the L-feet as shown in Figure 9. ALign the ends of the rail to the edge of the installation area. Ensure that the rail is straight and parallel to the edge of the roof. Then tighten the lag screws. Figure 9. L-foot orientation in conjunction with L-foot adjusting sliders. The sliders include two utility slots to secure module wiring, combiner boxes, and other system components. NIP, AC' Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manuel SunFrame Using standoffs with L-foot adjusting sliders Two-piece aluminum standoffs maybe used with footing sliders, although flashings may not be available to cover the entire length of the slider. Use the bases of the standoffs only in the lowest row. In subsequent rows, attach the shaft With standoff~ of equal length, orient L-foot to compensats for height difference. of each standoff to the slider using the slider's 3/s-inch hex- head bolt. Note that L-feet are positioned long side up on the lowest rows and with long side down in subsequent rows-- in the same manner as an installation with no standoffs. If the stondoff supporting the lo,est rail is I inch taller than the standoffs on the footing sliders, place both £-feet in the same orientation--either both long side up or bath short side up. This example assumes a rail seven times the length of the footing spacing (A). A splice may be located in any of the shaded areas. If more than one splice is used, be sure the combination does not violate Requirements 5, 6, or 7. Footing and splicing requirements The following criteria are required for sound installations. While short sections of rail are structurally permissible, they can usually be avoided by effective planning, which also pro- motes superior aesthetics. See "Material planning for rails and cap strips" (p. 13). The installer is solely responsible for ensuring that the roof and its structural members can support the array and its live loads. For rail lengths exceeding 48feet, thermal expansion joints may be necessary. Please contact Unirac. 1. Footing spacing along the rail (A in illustration above) is determined by wind loading (see pp. 54, especially step 4). Foot spacing must never exceed 48 inches. 2. Overhang (B) must be no more than half the length of the maximum footing spacing (A). Pot example, ff Span A is 32 inches, Overhang B should not exceed 16 inches. 3. Do not locate a splice in the center third of the span between two adjacent feet. 4. In a spliced length of rail, all end sections must be sup- ported by no less than two L-feet. 5. All interior raft sections must be supported by no less than one L-foot. 6. Interior rail sections supported by only one L-foot must be adjacent, on at least one side, to a rail section sup- ported by no less than two L-feet. Z Raft sections longer than half the footing spacing re- quire no fewer than two L-feet. * J Rafters J , ~ Sfringer Modules should al~ays be fully supported by rai~. In other words, modules should never overhang mils. This is especially critical when supporting the short side ora non-rectangular module. When a rail supports a pair of non- rectangular modules by themselves (right), it must be supported by at least two L-feet. The rail shouM be at least 14 and no more than 24 inches long~ which will likely require a stringer between rafters to ensure proper footings. Non-rectanguJor modules SunFrame VniracCode-CompliantInstallationManual UNIRAC' 3. Laying out and installing the next row of L-feet with L-feet only: Position the second row of L-feet in accor- dance with Figure 10. Ensure that you measure between the lower bolt hole centers of each row of L-feet. Install the second row of L-feet in the same manner and orientation as the first row, but leave the lag screws a half turn loose. Be aware of the set-up time of your sealant; the L-feet will not be fully tight- ened until Step. 4. With L-foot adjusting sliders: Use a chalk line to mark the position of the slider center holes of the next row. The illustra- tion below provides spacing guidelines. The length of the module (A in Fig. 11) includes any protrusions, such as bps or pan-head screws in its frame. Attach and seal L-foot adjusting slider: Install lower lag first, footing bolt next, and upper lag last. Attach an L-foot with its short side up to each slider. (hole to hole} / Figure 10.

Installing the second rail With L-feet only (Fig. 12): Install and align the second rail in the same manner and orientation as the first raft. After rail alignment, tighten the raft mounting bolts to between 30 and 35 foot-pounds. Lay one module in place at one end of the rails, and snug the upper rail (Fig. 12) toward the lower raft, leaving no gap between the ends of the modules and either rail. (If 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. Slide the module down the rails, snugging the rails and tightening the remaining lag 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 raiL 5. Installing remaining L-feet and rails Install the L-feet and the rails for the remaining rows, follow- ing Steps 3 and 4. You may use the same module to space all the rows. When complete, confirm that: · All rails are fitted and aligned. · Ail footing bolts and lag screws are secure. · The module used for fitting is resting (but not se- cured) in the highest row. · UNI RAC' Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual SunFrame Material planning for rails and cap strips Preplanning material use for your particular array can prevent structural or aesthetic problems, particularly those caused by very short lengths of rail or cap strip. This example illustrates one approach. Structural requirements for rails are detailed in "Footing and sphcing requirements" (p.11). Structurally, cap strips require: · A screw in every prepunched 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 raft 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 screw. (In 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 rails. · 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 rail 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 rails. Similarly, five 192-inch cap strips are designated V through Z. All cap sttip segments are cut at the midpoint between prepunched screw holes. For each raft, start with the cap strip segment that crosses the array center fine, 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 footin~ and splice positions must be checked a~ainst structural requirements in "Footing and splicin~ requirements" (p.11). In this example, the center of the array is offset 2 inches from the center rofter. This prevents rail splkes BD (3rd roil) and CF, (4th rail) from fallin~ too close to the center of the spans between footings (Requirement3, p. 11). Because foot- in~s are not visible from ~round level, there is negligible aesthetic loss.

Securing the first module Gather sufficient lengths of cap strip to cover the lenTch of the first rail. For maximum visual appeal and material conservation see "Material plaiming for rafts 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 foot wide between the first and second modules (Fig. 13). The temporary gap allows the installer to place one of his feet between modules. He can access the section of the cap scrip 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 of the cap strip with the cap strip screws (Fig. 13, inset), so that the upper end of the first module is secure. AT he structural integrity of your array requires that cap strip screws fully er~age the threaded rail Use the cap strip screws supplied with your cap strips. Any substitute screws must be V4-20 Type F thread cutting (18-8 stainless steel) and the correct length. See Table 4 (pg, 15) to match screw length to the si~e cap strip in your installation. AEvery cap strip segment must have a cap strip screw 4 inches or lees from each end. If the nearest predrilled hole falls more than 4 inches from any end, drill a l/~-inch hole 2 inches from the end and install an additional screw. AWherever necessary to a new cap strip it make hole, drill a I/~-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 inst all the screws to secure it (Fig. 14). For a neat installation, use cable ties to attach excess wiring to the rail beneath the flanges. Unirac's cable ties can be attached to the SunFrame rail by drilling a 1/4-1nch hole in the rail and pushing the end of the tie into the hole. Continue 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 scrip 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 13. Beg/n cap strip installation. Figure 14. Position and secure modules one by one. Figure 15.
