LUCI��E��CrrOUNTY This letter is regarding the installation of a new ground-mpp¢&�5�far PV system at the address above. I have analyzed/reviewed the attached plans and have determined that the Ground Mounted PV Structure is in compliance with the applicable sections of the following Codes and Reference documents: Codes: 2017 Florida Building Code 6th Ed., FBCq� ASCE/SEI 7-10 Min. Design Loads for Buildings & Other Structure References: ��• IVI Aluminum Design Manual 2015. IronRidge Exhibit EX-0001 Per FBC 2017, the Ground Mounted PV structure is considered risk category I structure and will be subject to the following design criteria: Design Wind Speed(V +t) - 150mph 3sec gust, Exposure Category — B The structure is a simple column(pier) and beam (cross pipe) system. The tops of the piers are connected in the E-W direction by the cross pipes which cantilever over and extend past the end piers. The cross pipes are connected by proprietary IronRidge XR1000 Rails spanning up and down the slope which cantilever over and extend past the top and bottom cross pipes. There are typically two rails per column of modules. The modules are clamped to the rails by the IronRidge module mounting clamps. If the structure is constructed according to the attached drawings and in accordance with the IronRidge Ground Mount installation manual, it will be more than adequate to support the design wind loads. Please see attached documents and contact me should you have any questions. Sincerely, D.
