presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of the applicable code and other ordinances of the jurisdiction shall not be
valid. It shall be the duty of the owner or the owner's authorized agent to cause the work to remain visible and able to be accessed for
inspection purposes. Neither the building official nor the jurisdiction shall be liable for expense entailed in the removal or replacement of
any material required to allow inspection.

thereof shall not be made, until the building official has issued a certificate of occupancy therefor as provided herein. Issuance of a
certificate of occupancy shall not be construed as an approval of a violation of the provisions of the applicable code and other ordinances
of the jurisdiction. Certificates presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of this code or other ordinances of the

6.66kW PV SYSTEM
This Letter is for the existing roof framing which supports the new PV modules as well as the attachment of
the PV system to existing roof framing. From the field observation report, the roof is made of Composition
shingle roofing over roof plywood supported by 2X6 Trusses at 24 inches. The slope of the roof was
approximated to be 18 degrees and the allowable maximum rafter span is 10 feet between supports.
After review of the field observation data and based on our structural capacity calculation, the existing roof
framing has been determined to be adequate to support the imposed loads without structural upgrades.
Contractor shall verify that existing framing is consistent with the described above before install. Should they
find any discrepancies, a written approval from SEOR is mandatory before proceeding with install. Capacity
calculations were done in accordance with applicable building codes.

1. Pv seismic dead weight is negligible to result in significant seismic uplift, therefore the wind uplift

Embedment in sheading or other material does not count.

We have based our structural capacity determination on information in pictures and a drawing set titled PV plans -
THE CHOMA RESIDENCE. The analysis was according to applicable building codes, professional engineering and
design experience, opinions and judgments. The calculations produced for this dwelling's assessment are only for
the proposed solar panel installation referenced in the stamped plan set and were made according to generally
recognized structural analysis standards and procedures.
