RE: Solar Panel Project—McMahon Project
2 Mohawk Tr, Queensbury, NY 12804
Dear Mr. Reynolds,
I have completed the structural adequacy review for the above referenced project. I determined whether the existing
rafters/roof support structure would adequately support the additional proposed solar system dead load in regards to
flexure and deflection,as well as determined the required minimum resistance against anticipated wind uplift and shear
loading for the roof mounting systems.
According to the Site Visit Form provided for said project,the building of the roof structure proposed to receive the
additional solar system dead load is a single family residence. The roof configuration,proposed panels and mounting
systems are as follows:

A summary of my review follows:
I determined the existing structural system dead loads and the additional dead load resulting from the proposed solar
system. The controlling roof live load is snow loading and has been determined according to the requirements set forth
in ASCE 7-05. The roof system was then checked against allowable flexural stresses and deflection limits for adequacy.
Wind loads were also determined according to the procedures of ASCE 7-05. The resulting wind uplift and shear forces
are included in the design calculations and may be used to determine the appropriate roof mounting hardware.

In conclusion:
The roof was inspected from the interior and exterior to determine the existing conditions. From my professional
examination of this specific address, I determined that the existing roof system RPI is adequate in regards to bending
strength and deflection criteria to support the additional dead load of the proposed solar system in its current
configuration.
Please note that my review is of the rafter members only and is based solely on the information recorded in the Site Visit
Form and correspondence with you. This review verifies that the information provided in the Site Visit Form is
accurately portrayed and the building is otherwise in good structural condition and capable to resist the increased
loading resulting from the proposed solar system.
When selecting the roof mounting hardware, be certain to provide a watertight seal around all roof penetrations and in
such a manner that normal roof drainage patterns are not impaired by the proposed solar system.
While consideration was given to snow drifting, it is highly recommended that the project owner not allow excessive
snow and/or ice buildup on the roof, as with any roof.
Sincerely,
Christopher W. Robert, P.E.
