Professional Engineer projects@creng.solar 3/16/2022 The following calculations are for the structural engineering design of the photovoltaic panels and are valid only for the structural info referenced in the stamped plan set. The verification of such info is the responsibility of others. After review, I certify that the roof structure has sufficient structural capacity for the applied PV loads. All mounting equipment shall be designed and installed per manufacturer's approved installation specifications.

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.

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.
