Additionally, the PV module assembly including attachment hardware has been reviewed to be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and to meet and/or exceed the requirements set forth by the referenced codes. Installer shall verify existing roof framing (including connection) is in suitable condition and does not exhibit any signs of structural damage or deficiency. Installer verification of the mounting planes noted above is required because some or all of the framing was not observed prior to the structural evaluation performed for this report. A structural evaluation of loading was conducted for the above address based on the design criteria listed above. Existing roof structural framing has been reviewed for additional loading due to installation of PV Solar System on the roof. The structural review applies to the sections of roof that is directly supporting the solar PV system.
