Dear Mr. Rock:
Pursuant to your request, we have reviewed the following information regarding solar panel installation on the roof of
the above referenced home:
1. Site Visit/Verification Form prepared by a Vivint Solar representative identifying specific site

Description of Residence:
The existing residence is typical wood framing construction with the roof system consisting of the following:
• Roof Sections (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6): Prefabricated truss with all chords constructed of 2x4
dimensional lumber at 24" on center. The attic space is unfinished and photos indicate that there
was free access to visually inspect the size and condition of the roof members.
All wood material utilized for the roof system is assumed to be Douglas -Fir #2 or better with standard construction
components. The existing roofing material consists of clay tile shingles. Our review of the photos of the exterior roof
does not indicate any signs of settlement or misalignment caused by overstressed underlying members.
Stability Evaluation:
A. Wind Uplift Loading
1. Calculations for uplift are based on ASCE/SEI 7-10 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and other
Structures, a wind speed of 130 mph based on Exposure Category C and 14 degree roof slopes on
the dwelling areas.
2. Total area subject to wind uplift is calculated for the Interior, Edge and Corner Zones of the
dwelling.

Page 2of2
B. Loading Criteria
13 PSF = Dead Load (roofing/framing) 20 PSF = Live Load (ground snow load)
3 PSF = Dead Load (solar panels/mounting hardware)
Total Dead Load = 16 PSF
The above values are within acceptable limits of recognized industry standards for similar structures and in
accordance with the 2013 California Building Code. Analysis performed on the existing roof structure utilizing the
above loading criteria indicates that the existing members will support the additional panel loading without damage,
if installed correctly.
C. Roof Structure Capacity
1. The photographs provided of the attic space and roof rafters show that the framing is in good
condition with no visible signs of damage caused by prior overstressing.
D. Solar Panel Anchorage
1. The solar panels shall be mounted in accordance with the most recent "Ecolibrium Solar Installation
Manual", which can be found on the Ecolibrium Solar website (ecolibriumsolar.com). If during solar
panel installation, the roof framing members appear unstable or deflect non -uniformly, our office
should be notified before proceeding with the installation.
2. The solar panels are 1 1/2' thick and mounted 4 1/2" off the roof for a total height off the existing roof
of 6". At no time will the panels be mounted higher than 6" above the existing plane of the roof.
3. Maximum allowable pullout per lag screw is 235 lbs/inch of penetration as identified in the Nation
Design Standards (NDS) of timber construction specifications for Douglas -Fir assumed. Based on
our evaluation, the pullout value, utilizing a penetration depth of 2 Y2', is less than the maximum
allowable per connection and therefore is adequate.
4. Roof Sections (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6): Considering the roof slopes, the size, spacing, condition of the
roof, the panel supports shall be placed at and attached no greater than every third roof member as
panels are installed perpendicular across members and no greater than the panel length when
installed parallel to the members (portrait). No panel supports spacing shall be greater than three
(3) spaces or 72" o/c, whichever is less.
5. Panel support connections shall be staggered to distribute load to adjacent members.
Based on the above evaluation, with appropriate panel anchors being utilized the roof system will adequately
support the additional loading imposed by the solar panels. This evaluation is in conformance with the 2013
California Building Code, current industry standards and practices, and the information supplied to us at the time of
this report.
Should you have any questions regarding the above or if you require further information do not hesitate to contact
me.
V truly yours,

Re: Engineering Certification for the EcoFasten Rock -it System Installation Manual
This letter is to document that PZSE, Inc. -Structural Engineers has reviewed EcoFasten Rock -it System
Installation Manual published October 12, 2015 and specifically the "Loading Tables".
SCOPE OF THE SYSTEM:
The EcoFasten Rock -it System is a solar panel support system for installing solar photovoltaic arrays on sloped
roofs of buildings. Typically such buildings are residential with shingle or tile roofs. The number and spacing of
attachments to the roof structure can vary depending on various site specific criteria including, but not limited
to, roof slope, spacing of supporting structural members and environmental loading.
SCOPE OF OUR REVIEW:
PZSE, Inc.—Structural Engineers provided a review of the following
• Rock -it System design methodology
• Rock -it System Installation Manual
• Rock -it System Loading Tables
and has determined that all information, data and analysis contained within the Installation Manual are based
on, and are in compliance with, the structural requirements of the following Reference Documents:
• Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-10
• International Building Code, 2012 Edition, by International Code Council, Inc.
• California Building Code, 2013 Edition, by California Building Standards Commission
• Aluminum Design Manual, 2010 Edition, by The Aluminum Association
This letter certifies that the EcoFasten Rock -it System Installation Manual and Loading Tables are in
compliance with the above Reference Documents.

DESIGN RESPONSIBILITY:
The Rock -it System Installation Manual is intended to be used under the responsible charge of a registered
design professional where required by the authority having jurisdiction. In all cases, the user of the Installation
Manual has sole responsibility for the accuracy of the design and integrity of the system.
The Installation Manual does not check the capacity of the building structure to support the loads imposed on
the building by the array, such as bending strength of roof rafters spanning between supports. This requires
additional knowledge of the building and is outside the scope of the Installation Manual and our review.
If you have any questions on the above, do not hesitate to call.
