Note to Building Official:
Based upon a review of the proposed plans and information, the
existing roof framing system is capable of safely supporting the additional
loads caused by the new solar photovoltaic energy system. The contractor
shall field verify that the existing roof structure is in its original permited
condition and verify that it can support the normal code required roof live
loads. Attached in this package are several calculations showing that the roof
members can support the additional weight of the solar array.
Furthermore, an analysis of the solar array's support for wind forces and a
seismic analysis of the existing structure are also included.

Determine allowable load per 5/16" lag screw w/ 2.5" embedment into wood below
according to the 2018 NDS.
W ' = W x Cd x Ct Table 10.3.1 2018 NDS
where:
W = 266 lbs / in. of embedment per Table 12.2a
Cd = 1.6 per Table 2.3.2 of 2018 NDS
Ct =1.0 per Table 10.3.4 of 2018 NDS
W' = 266 lbs/ in. x 2.5 in. x 1.6 x 1.0 = 1,064 lbs > 416 lbs OK

existing structure to comply with this standard provided the alterations comply
with the requirements for a new structure. Alterations that increase the
seismic force in any existing structural element by more than 10 percent or
decrease the design strength of any existing structural element to resist
seismic forces by more than 10 percent shall not be permitted unless the
