Solar Array Installation
To Whom It May Concern:
Per your request, we have reviewed the existing structure'at the above referenced site. The purpose of our review was to
determine the adequacy of the existing structure•to support the proposed•i►istallation of solar panels on the roof as shown on
the panel layout plan.
Based upon our review,we conclude that the existing structure is adequate to support the proposed solar panel installation.
Design Parameters
Code:2020 Residential Code of New York State ��
Risk Category:11 D e' C E 1'--

Existing Roof Structure TOWN OF QUEENSBURY
BUILDING&C_ODES
Roof structure:2x10 rafters @ 16"O.C.
Contractor shall verify that the max horizontal span is not to exceed 20'
Roofing material:metal seam
Roof slope: 36.9°
Connection to Roof
Mounting connection:(1)S-5!U Clamp to min.26 ga steel at 15"O.C. (required every seam)
(2)rails per row of panels,evenly spaced;panel length perpendicular to the rails not to exceed 67 in.Rail cantilever shall
not exceed 50%of connection spacing.
Note:Contractor shall verify min.metal gauge prior to installation of the solar panels.
Conclusions
Based upon our review,we conclude that the existing structure is adequate to support the proposed solar panel installation.
See attached calculations.

The solar array will be flush-mounted (no more than 10" above the roof surface) and parallel to the roof surface. Thus, we
conclude that any additional wind loading on the structure related to the addition of the proposed solar array is negligible.
The attached calculations verify the capacity of the connections of the solar array to the existing roof against wind(uplift),
the governing load case. Because the increase in lateral forces is less than 5%, this addition meets the requirements of the
exception in Section AJ601.9 of the 2020 Residential Code of New York State. Thus the existing lateral force resisting
system is permitted to remain unaltered.
Limitations
Installation of the solar panels must be performed in accordance with manufacturer recommendations. All work performed
must be in accordance with accepted industry-wide methods and applicable safety standards. The contractor must notify
Vector Structural Engineering, LLC should any damage, deterioration or discrepancies between the as-built condition of the
structure and the condition described in this letter be found. Connections to existing roof framing must be staggered, except
at array ends, so as not to overload any existing structural member. The use of solar panel support span tables provided by
others is allowed only where the building type,site conditions,site-specific design parameters, and solar panel configuration
match,the description of the span tables. The design of the solar panel racking(mounts, rails, etc.) and electrical engineering
is the responsibility of others. Waterproofing around the roof penetrations is the responsibility of others. Vector Structural
Engineering assumes no responsibility for improper installation of the solar array.
