This Is achieved because when the installed damps are tightened, the design of the damps pullsthe tips of the Gdhannel together to create a theoretical square odhan J%the structural pr x9das.

CIVIL & STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING DESIGN 7122112 Topanga Canyon Blvd., Suite A, Canoga Park, California 91303 Professional Solar Products Ann: Stan Ullman 1551 S. Rose Ave. Oxnard, CA 93033 Date of observation test: April 24, 2002 Subject: 50 Ib. Per sq. ft. Sharp 200 series modules mounted to the RoofTrac flat mounting system. TEST SETUP FLAT MOUNT: Three Sharp Solar 200 Series 64.6" x 39" modules bolted to 1.5" x 1.5" x 124" RoofTrac support rails using a combination of 10 Ea. 5116" stainless steel bolts, lock washers and specially extruded inserts. The mounting channel was attached to the simulated roof with a 318' nut and washer at six Tile Trac attachment points. The Tile Trac was then attached to 4" x 6" rafters using a 5116" x 3" lag bolt. The spans tested consisted of a front to rear of 48" with attachments spaced at 48". The entire test set up rested on the concrete floor. The Roof Trac mounting system will support Sharp 200 series photovoltaic modules. TEST PROCEDURE: The test set up was loaded using sandbags that produced an equivalent 50#/sq.fL loading. Upon completion of the plaoemenl of the sandbags the maximum deflection that occurred was W. The sandbags were left for 30 minutes with no change in the deflection or any other sign of distress. After the 30 minutes was completed the fixture was inverted to simulate the download condition. The results of the tests were duplicated in the uplift condition. The deflection was maximum and the fixture suffered no signs of distress due to the loading. This document certifies the RoofTrac mounting system used with the 200 Series Sharp Solar modules, withstands a 50 Ib. per square foot static pressure load, this loading is equivalent to a wind speed of approximately 125 mph using wind load exposure and gust factor coefficient "exposure C" as defined in the 2006(IBC)12007(CBC). Overall the mounting unit performed as expected. Sincerely Ali Basma, RCE This engineering report verifies that Tritek Engineering has provided independent observation for load testing as described in this report. The results of this load test reflect actual deflection values and are generally accepted as the industry standard for testing module mounting systems. Tritek Engineering does not field check installations or verify that the mounting system is installed as described in this engineering report. To assist the building inspector in identification of this mounting system, it is required that a permanent adhesion label describing "Roof Trac" is to be placed on at least one of the main support rails. Structural attachment: Lag bolt attachment should be installed using the proper pilot hole for optimum strength. All lag engagement should be properly torqued and driven perpendicular into the center of a structural member of the roof. Lag bolts require drilled pilot holes to length of the thread using the sizes listed below: 1. 5116" lag bolt requires a 3/16" pilot hole 2. 318" lag bolt requires a Y<" pilot hole. If the roof ply or shingle is in excess of 3/8' in thickness, it is recommended that the longer length lag screw be used to insure minimum engagement. It is the responsibility of the installer to insure that solid attachment is made to the structural member of the roof. Failure to securely attach to the roof structure may result in damage to equipment or personal injury. Photovoltaic solar panels are generally accepted as a light weight roof accessories and generally do not require roof load calculations when property installed. However, this office does not express an opinion as to the load bearing characteristics of all roofs and under all conditions of load. Roofs in excess of 25 degrees in pitch, with snow load, should be reviewed on a regional basis. Wind loading values are defined by the UBC are relative to defined load values per square foot performed in this static load test. Structural attachment devices that have been laboratory tested by accredited ICC testing laboratory and provide similar retention values can be interohan ed with this system.
