Structural Report and Calculations
Introduction
rac
Snap�-`- Ek,
This report describes, illustrates, and explains the Structural Calculation ..Packet for
SnapNrack's Series 100 Mounting System,.dated 7/6/2016. The calculations have been
performed in accordance with the codes referenced in the cover letter. The racking
system has been designed to withstand code -prescribed forces due to its own weight, the
weight of the solar panels, the snow loads, and both the wind and seismic forces.
Rail Spans
This report covers two different material options for the system rails. Although they are
both aluminum, one rail option uses a 6063 alloy (25 ksi yield) and the other uses a 6005
alloy'(35 ksi yield).
Despite having differentyield strengths, both types of rails support the PV panels. As for
the rails themselves, they are. supported by mounting hardware which attaches them to the
roof structure with spans .that are expressed in inches. Refer to the tables below for rail
spans under varying conditions of rail alloy and roof height. Shaded cells require an edge
zone adjustment (see details following charts).
Notes for Tables 1A thru 2H
1. Determine the mean roof height, tilt angle, and rail alloy (if you are :unsure, use
the 6063 alloy values). Formean roof heights less than 30 feet, use Table 1 A/2A
for tilt angles less than 19 degrees, Table 1B/2B for tilt angles between 20 and 36
degrees, Table 1C/2C for tilt angles between 37 and 45 degrees,'and Table 1D/2D
for tilt angles between 46 and 60'degrees. For mean roof heights between 31 and
60 feet use Table IE/2E for tilt angles less than 19 degrees, Table 1F/2F forlilt
angles between 20 and 36 degrees, Table lG/2G for tilt angles between 37 and 45
degrees, and Table 1H/2H for tilt angles between 46 and 60 degrees.
2. Determine the wind. and snow load for the project site from the building
department. Make certain to -use 2015 IBC wind loads. Locate the wind load in
the table across top rows and the snow load down. the left columns to find
corresponding maximum rail span.
3. For snow. loads, column Pg equals the ground snow.
4. Shaded cells require application of an edge zone adjustment (details to follow).

Structural Report and Calculations
Rail Testing
tach
The aluminum.rails have been designed in accordance with the. 2015 Aluminum Design
Manual (ADM) as referenced in the IBC. Testing was conducted per the standards set
forth by the IBC Section 1715; Preconstruction Load Test. The results of this testing
procedure were used in comparison with the calculated values to establish the maximum
uplift load allowed for the rails.
Racking Connections to the Existing Roof
a
Contained within the calculation packet are calculations for the connection of the rails to
the roof framing. Using the sizes provided by SnapNrack, we have calculated the
maximum forces that will be resisted based on the withdrawal value of the lag screws,
and the strength of the aluminum components which are involved in transferring these
forces from the rail to the roof framing. These components consist of the flashed L -foot
(SnapNrack Drawing PEN-DO1), Standoff (PEN -D02, D03), Seam Clamp (PEN -D04),
Corrugated Block (PEN -D05), Metal Roof Base (PEN -D09, D10, D11, D12) and Hanger
Bolt (PEN -D06). All (6) options are acceptable under the parameters shown in
SnapNrack's plans. The results from our analysis have been integrated into the summary
charts.
The connection of the PV racking system to the roof will use a 5/16" diameter Lag Bolt
installed with a minimum 2 '/i" embedment into the framing member. Bolts shall be
installed to a rafter or blocking capable of supporting both wind and seismic loads along
- with"the weight of the PV system.
When PEN -D07 is. involved, use minimum quantity 2 '/4-20 lag bolts with minimum
1.25" embedment. In addition, SnapNrack's Tile Roof. Hooks (Drawing PEN -D13, D14)
are also acceptable attachment components when the following limitations are followed:
11. file roof hooks have been reviewed up to 120 mph, Design Wind Speed
Z. rail span is limited to 6 feet with tile roof hooks

Summary Charts and Topographic Factors
Snap.
rick,_,
The attached pages of this summary contain some of the most common, building
configurations with varying wind speeds. These charts serve as juick references for
looking up maximum rail spans based on the building and site conditions. However, it
must be noted that for any building where a topographic factor is applied (e.g. hills,
mesas, seashore), the rail span lengths given might exceed what is allowed for the given
site condition. In that case, a registered structural engineer shalt evaluate the exact
topographic conditions for the specific site:
End Zone and Edge Distances
The edge zones and/or end zones of the roof area shall be determined based on the
building's least horizontal dimension (LDH). The edge zone, "a", is equal to .10% of the
LDH where a = A * LDH. It should be noted that if the solar panels installed cross two
different roof sections, the smaller LDH shall be used.
Rail spans in the corner zone shall be a maximum of 24 inches and this restriction will
only apply to the rail attachments located in the end .and edge zones (does not apply to
modulus or rails that overhang into the zone). Furthermore, all edge: zones requiring an
adjustment (shaded cells in chart) shall be reduced by 24 inches to a minimum of 32
inches.

Site —'Specific Analysis
A site-specific . analysis- is required if the location of the solar panel installation
corresponds to any of the following criteria:
• The total pitch of the solar panel (solar panel pitch & roof pitch) is greater than 60
degrees above the horizontal.
• A topographic factor applied to a location. Generally, topographic factors are
applied when the structure is on a hill, mesa or bluff, or is adjacent to a large body
of water. For complete descriptions of topographic factors, please refer to ASCE
7-10 section 26.8
• The mean roof height of the structure that the solar panels will be installed on is
greater than 60 ft. above grade.
• A combination of loads and/or site conditions applied that is not addressed in the
dattached rail span charts.
If one or more of these factors corresponds to the project location, please contact NSSE,
and we will analyze the site conditions and recommend standoff spacing for each specific
site.
Existing Building Limitations
This' summary letter addresses the structural adequacy of the solar racking system only
and does not investigate or validate the adequacy of the structure the racking system is
being placed upon. It does not address the ability of the existing -roofing or roof framing
to support the new loads imposed upon them by the new system, nor does it address the
new localized forces between the roofing and the roof framing which might be imposed
by the new standoff connections. It also does not address the additional lateral forces
imposed upon the building due to the seismic and wind forces that the new system will
ad&to the existing roof. These various building -specific issues need to be evaluated by
the 'appropriate registered professional(s) prior to the addition of the photovoltaic and
racking systems. NSSE may be consulted for building -specific structural evaluation.
NSSE assumes the systems will be installed to the specifications presented here and the
installer will use good structural judgment.

inverters
.Ground Fault Protection is Standard in the Ginlong North American
String Inverter Product Line
Ginlong inverters are sold around the world and are certified to IEC Standards:in Europe (TUV), the
AS3100 and AS4777 Standards in Australia (ASS), and to the UL 1741 Standard in North America (ETL).
Any inverter that hopes to bear the certification mark of a Nationally Recogrrozed Testing Laboratory
(NRTL) and be sold in the United States must pass safety and protection testE as part_ of the UL test
standard.
As part of the UL Test Standard; the Ginlong product line of single and three phase inverters are
subjected to a battery of tests to ensure that the inverter conforms to the relevant test criteria. For
example, all Ginlong inverters sold in North America must be an anti-islandin.; type. Inverters are tested
for grid monitoring and unintentional islanding. The Ginlong NEMA 4 inverters must pass a rain and
sprinkler test. The enclosure cannot exceed a certain temperature during normal operation and must
be resistant to impact. "
Electrical tests are done to ensure that abnormal grid or DC circuit conditions are safely handled by the
inverter. Overload and short circuit tests are applied to both the AC and DC dircuits. DC input and AC
output ratings must be correct. The inverter is tested for harmonics and must respond to abnormal
frequency conditions. For protection,of system owners and system techniciais, all Ginlong inverters are
tested for ground impedance and for safe response to "ground faults.
Ginlong inverters are designed to protect the installer and system owners during normal operation. And
when the inverter detects abnormal conditions, Ginlong inverters employ additional safety features
including;
• Grid Monitoring
• Ground Fault monitoring and protection
• Anti-Islanding protection
• Temperature protection.
•. DC reverse -polarity protection .
• ' AC output overcurrent protection
• Output overvoltage protection
Other Ginlong inverter safety equipment includes an optional integrated AFCII (DC arc fault protection)
and an integrated DC switch on'the bottom of every inverter. For compliance:to the NEC 690.12 rapid
shutdown requirements, Ginlong offers a Rapid Shutdown Device (RSD) that can be installed at the PV
array.

FORM NO
DBI -01
The newly adopted 2013 California Residential Code requires the installation of Carbon
Monoxide Detectors in dwelling units and in sleeping units within which fuel-buming appliances
are installed and in dwelling units that have attached garages. The policy for Carbon Monoxide
Alarms in Butte County states: "Any permit obtained in which the value of work exceeds $1000
associated with a Residential Group R Dwelling Unit or Sleeping Unit shall conform to the
following 2013 California Residential Code requirements for Smoke and Carbon Monoxide
Alarms (Section R314 & R315)."
2013 California Residential Code requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms:
R315.1 New construction: An approved carbon monoxide alarm shall be installed in dwelling
units and in sleeping units within which fuel -burning appliances are installed and in dwelling
units that have attached garages.
R315.1.2 Power supply: For new construction required carbon monoxide alarms shall receive
their primary power from the building wiring'where such wiring is served from a commercial
source and shall be equipped with a battery back-up. Alarm wiring shall be directly connected to
the permanent building wiring without a disconnecting switch other than as required for over -
current protection. R
Exceptions:
1. In dwelling units where there is no commercial power supply the carbon monoxide alarm may be solely
battery operated.
2. In existing dwelling units a carbon monoxide alarm is' permitted to be solely battery operated where
repairs or alterations do not result in the removal of wall and ceiling finishes
or there is no access by means of attic, basement or crawl space.
R315.1.3 -Interconnection. Where more than one carbon monoxide alarm is required to be
installed within the dwelling unit or within a sleeping unit the alarm shall be interconnected in a
manner that activation of one alarm shall activate all of the alarms in the individual unit.
Exception:
1. Interconnection isnot required in existing dwelling units where repairs do not result in the
removal of wall and ceiling finishes, there is no access by means of attic, basement or crawl
space, and no previous method for interconnection existed.
R315.2 Where required in existing dwellings: Where a permit is required for alterations,
repairs or additions exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), existing dwellings or sleeping
units that have attached garages or fuel -burning appliances shall be provided with a carbon
monoxide alarm in accordance with Section R315.1. Carbon monoxide alarms shall only be
required in the specific dwelling unit or sleeping unit for which the permit was obtained.
R315.2.6 Alarm requirements: No person shall install, market, distribute, offer for sale or sell
any carbon monoxide device in the State of California unless the device and instructions have
been approved and listed by the State Fire Marshal.
