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 Flat Tile roofing over
roof plywood supported by 2X4 Rafters at 24 inches. The slope of the roof was approximated to be 18 degrees
and the allowable maximum rafter span is 6 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.
