SolarMount system. It's a system of engineered components that can be assembled This manual provides (1) supporting documentation for into a wide variety of PV mounting structures. With building permit applications relating to UniRac's SolarMount SolarMount you'll be able to solve virtually any PV module Universal PV Module Mounting system, and (2) planning and mounting challenge. assembly instructions for SolarMount It's also a system of technical support: complete installation SolarMount products, when installed in accordance with and code compliance documentation, an on-line SolarMount this bulletin, will be structurally adequate and will meet the Estimator, person-to-person customer service, and design structural requirements of the IBC 2006, IBC 2003, ASCE 7- assistance to help you solve the toughest challenges. 02, ASCE 7-05 and California Building Code 2007 (collectively Which is why SolarMount is PV's most widely used mounting referred to as "the Code"). UniRac also provides a limited system. warranty on SolarMount products (page 26). Q 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. 2 SolarMount UniRac Code-Compliant Installation Manual YNARAce 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 for more clarification on the use of Method I. Lower design by the American Society of Civil Engineers and referenced in wind loads may be obtained by applying Method II from ASCE the International Building Code 2006. For purposes of this 7-05. Consult with a licensed engineer if you want to use document, the values, equations and procedures used in this Method iI procedures. document reference ASCE 7-05, Minimum Design Loads for The equation for determining the Design Wind Load for Buildings and Other Structures. Please refer to ASCE 7-05 if components and cladding is: you have any questions about the definitions or procedures presented in this manual. UnfRac uses Method 1, the P„a (psf) = AK.tl pna3o Simplified Method, for calculating the Design Wind Load for pressures on components and cladding in this document. poet (psf) =Design Wind Load The method described in this document is valid for flush, no tilt, SolarMount Series applications on either roofs or walls. A = adjustment factorfor height and exposure category Flush is defined as panels parallel to the surface (or with no more than 3" difference between ends of assembly) with no Kzt = Topographic Factor at mean roof height, It (ft) more than 10" space between the roof surface, and the bottom of the PV panels. I = Importance Factor This method is not approved for open structure calculations. pnev (Psf) = net design wind pressure for Exposure B, at height Applications of these procedures is subject to the following = 3Q I = 1 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 You will also need to know the following information: on structures greater than 60 feet, contact your local UniRac Distributor. Basic Wind Speed = V (mph), the largest 3 second gust of wind in 2. The building must be enclosed, not an open or partially the last 50 years. enclosed structure, for example a carport. h (ft) = total roof heightforflat roof buildings or mean roof 3.

Please refer to Part I for more information 9 and the Dead Load (psf). Both Uplift and Downforce Wind on beam calculations, equations and assumptions. Loads calculated in Step 9 of Part 2 must be investigated. Use Table 7 to calculate the Total Design Load for the load cases.

If the Dead Load is greater than 5 psf, see your UniRac distributor, a local structural engineer or S = Snow Load (psf) contact Unillac. The following procedure will guide you in selecting a UniAac pnet = Design Wind Load (psf) rail for a flush mount installation.
