The increase in weight as a result of the solar system is less than 10% of the existing structure and therefore
no further seismic analysis is required.

Limits of Scope of Work and Liability:
Existing structure is assumed to have been designed and constructed following appropriate codes at
time of erection, and assumed to have appropriate permits. The calculations produced are only for the
roof framing supporting the proposed PV installation referenced in the stamped planset and were
completed according to generally recognized structural analysis standards and procedures, professional
engineering and design experience, opinions and judgements. Existing deficiencies which are unknown or
were not observable during time of inspection are not included in this scope of work. All PV modules,
racking, and mounting equipment shall be designed and installed per manufacturer's approved
installation specifications. The Engineer of Record and the engineering consulting firm assume no
responsibility for misuse or improper installation. This analysis is not stamped for water leakage.
Framing was determined based on information in provided plans and/or photos, along with engineering
judgement. Prior to commencement of work, the contractor shall verify the framing sizes, spacings, and
spans noted in the stamped plans, calculations, and cert letter (where applicable) and notify the
Engineer of Record of any discrepancies prior to starting construction. Contractor shall also verify that
there is no damaged framing that was not addressed in stamped plans, calculations, and cert letter
(where applicable) and notify the Engineer of Record of any concerns prior to starting construction.
