Re: Engineering Services
Moses Residence
10 Jerry Lane, Rexburg, ID
12.000 kW System Size
To Whom it May Concern,
Pursuant to your request, we have reviewed the following information regarding solar panel installation on
the roof of the above referenced home:
1. Site Visit/Verification Form prepared by a Practical Preppers representative identifying
specific site information including size and spacing of rafters for the existing roof structure.
2. Design drawings of the proposed system including a site plan, roof plan and connection
details for the solar panels. This information was prepared by Practical Preppers and will
be utilized for approval and construction of the proposed system.
3. Photographs of the interior and exterior of the roof system identifying existing structural
members and their conditions.
Based on the above information we have evaluated the structural capacity of the existing roof system to
support the additional loads imposed by the solar panels and have the following comments related to our
review and evaluation:
Description of Residence:
The existing residence is typical wood framing construction with the roof system consisting of truss system
with all chords constructed of 2 x 4 dimensional lumber at 24” on center. The attic space is unfinished and
photos indicate that there was free access to visually inspect the size and condition of the roof rafters. All
wood material utilized for the roof system is assumed to be Doug-Fir #2 or better with standard construction
components. The existing roofing material consists of composite asphalt shingles.
A. Loading Criteria Used
115 MPH wind loading based on ASCE 7-10 Exposure Category “B” at slopes of 28 degrees
7 PSF = Dead Load roofing/framing Live Load = 20 PSF Snow Load = 50 PSF
3 PSF = Dead Load solar panels/mounting hardware
Total Dead Load =10 PSF
The above values are within acceptable limits of recognized industry standards for similar
structures in accordance with the 2015 IBC. Analysis performed of the existing roof structure
utilizing the above loading criteria indicates that the existing rafters when strengthened as
calculated, will support the additional panel loading without damage, if installed correctly.

B. Solar Panel Anchorage
1. The solar panels shall be mounted in accordance with the most recent “SnapNrack Solar
Installation Manual”, which can be found on the SnapNrack Solar website (http:/snapnrack.com/). If
during solar panel installation, the roof framing members appear unstable or deflect non-uniformly,
our office should be notified before proceeding with the installation.
2. Maximum allowable pullout per lag screw is 235 lbs/inch of penetration as identified in the National
Design Standards (NDS) of timber construction specifications for Southern Pine assumed. Based
on our evaluation, the pullout value, utilizing a penetration depth of 3”, is less than what is allowable
per connection and therefore is adequate. Based on the variable factors for the existing roof
framing and installation tolerances, using a thread depth of 3” with a minimum size of 5/16” lag
screw per attachment point for panel anchor mounts should be adequate with a sufficient factor of
safety.
3. Considering the roof slopes, the size, spacing, condition of roof, the panel supports shall be placed
no greater than 48” o/c.
4. Panel supports connections shall be staggered to distribute load to adjacent rafters.
Based on the above evaluation, it is the opinion of this office that with appropriate panel anchors being utilized
the roof system will adequately support the additional loading imposed by the solar panels. This evaluation is in
conformance with the 2015 IBC, current industry standards, and is based on information supplied to us at the
time of this report.
Should you have any questions regarding the above or if you require further information do not hesitate to
contact me.
Very truly yours,
Scott E. Wyssling, PE
