Roof Mounted Solar Array Structural Certification

RECEIVED

ST. Lmog Cgunty, PArmitt(ng
The solar array to be mounted on the above referenced location has been evaluated and found
to be in compliance with the 2014 Florida Building Code 5th Edition and 2014 Florida
Building Code Residential 5th Edition.
The same wind load can be expected for the solar array as with the original roof structure as the
pitch of the array is the same as the original roof pitch. It is my professional opinion and.
experience that the attachments provide a significant factor of safety to overcome uplift from
wind at 170 mph 3 sec gust and shear from wind and array weight.
The verification of the structural integrity of the roof structure is the responsibility of the
contractor. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me at (407) 930-2030.
Sincerely,
