Re: Solarmount Roof Attachment
BKBM Project No. 08364.00
Dear Ms. Lundberg:
As requested, we have analyzed the required roof attachment for the Unirac flush-mounted
photovoltaic panels for wind loads as required by the 2007 Minnesota State Building Code. Our
analysis was limited to the design capacity of the roof attachment for wind uplift. Our analysis
assumed a residential wood framed roof structure with a roof slope between 0 and 45 degrees,
located in ASCE 7-OS exposure category B(typical urban/suburban area with numerous
obstructions the size of single family homes or larger extending at least 1500' in all directions)
with a►nean coof height of 30 feet or less. Our analysis also assumed the panels would not be
mounted at a roof overhang, and that the lag screws attach to primary structural members and not
to added mounting blocks or sleepers.
Based on these criteria, the maximum wind uplift loading is 36.8 psf, and the net uplift pressure
taking the weight of the panels (2.5 ps� into account is 35.3 psf..
Based on the information provided by the installer, we reviewed the design capacity of 3/8"
diameter, 3" long lag screws for the roof attachment. The lag screw review assumed a minimum
2x4 nominal (1.5" x 3.5" actual) roof rafter, and a maximum 1" of roofing material above the
roof cafters providing 2° lag screw penetration into the wood member. The lag screws are also
assumed to be installed near the center of the roof rafters at a minimum of 9/16" distance from
the edge of the member.
The lag screw design is dependent on the type of wood used for the roof framing. Using the
lowest published values by the 2005 National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood
Construction, the calculated withdrawal capacity is 298 pounds for the lag screw described above
in wood members with a specific gravity of 0.31. Using a more common lower-bound wood
value for Spruce Pine Fir (specific gravity of 0.42), the calculated withdrawal capacity of the lag
screw is 470 pounds. Higher withdrawal design capacity could be obtained for other species
such as Douglas Fir or Southern Pine.

The allowable spacing of the attachments (rail span) for wind uplift can be calculated by dividing
the withdrawal capacity above by the net uplift pressure (35.3 psf� and dividing that result by
one-half of the module width perpendicular to the rails. The following formula summarizes the
calculation:
L= 2W/BP
L= Rail Span for Wind Uplift (ft)
W= Lag Screw Calculated Withdrawal Capacity (lbs)
B= Module Width Perpendicular to the Rails (ft)
P= Net Uplift Design Pressure (psf)
For example if the module width is 3 feet, the allowable attachment spacing far wind uplift with
Spruce Pine Fir wood is (2*470)/(3*35.3) = 89 feet. For wood with specific gravity of 0.31, the
allowable attachment spacing is 5.6 feet.
The above calculation makes no assessment of the structural design capacity of the primary
structural wood framing to support either the wind uplift loads or the roof gravity loads
(including snow) imposed by the photovoltaic panel attachment to individual roof rafters, or for
the added roof load imposed by the weight of the modules. The module layout will modify the
manner in which the roof framing is loaded, and the layout of the support brackets must take this
into consideration in addition to the above wind uplift design. This report does not provide any
warranty, either expressed or implied, for any portion of the existing structure to which the
modules are installed.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
BKBM EI�IGINEERS

[3.3.2] Laying out the installing L-feet
L-feet are used for installation through
existing low profile roofing material, such
as asphalt shingles or sheet metal. They
are also used for most ground mount
installations. To ensure that the L-feet will
be easily accessible during flush installation:
• Use the PV module mounting holes
nearest the ends of the modules.
Situate the rails so that footing bolt
slots face outward.
The single slotted square side of the L-foot
must always lie against the roof with the
double-slotted side perpendicular to the
roof.
Foot spacing (along the same rail) and rail
overhang depend on design wind loads.
Install half the L-feet:
• If rails are perpendicular to rafters
(Fig. 23), install the feet closest to
the lower edge of the roof.
• If rails are parallel to rafters (Fig
24), install the feet for one of the
rails, but not both.
For the L-feet being installed now, drill pilot
holes through the roofing into the center of
the rafter at each lag screw hole location.
Squirt sealant into the hole and onto the
shafts of the lag screws. Seal the underside
of the L-feet with a sealant. Securely fasten
the L-feet to the building structure with the
lag screws. Ensure that the L-feet face as
shown in Figure 23 or Figure 24.
Hold the rest of the L-feet and fasteners
aside until the panels are ready for the
installation.

[3.2.2] Laying out L-feet
L-feet (Fig. 7) are used for attachment through existing roof-
ing material, such as asphalt shingles, sheathing or sheet metal
to the building structure.
Use Figure 8 or 9 below to locate and mark the position of the
L-feet lag screw holes within the installation area.
If multiple rows are to be installed adjacent to one another, it
is not likely that each row will be centered above the rafters.
Adjust as needed, following the guidelines in Figure 9 as
closely as possible.

Installing L-feet
Drill pilot holes through the roof into the
center of the rafter at each L-foot lag screw
hole location.
Squirt sealant into the hole, and on the shafts
of the lag screws. Seal the underside of the L-
Feet with a suitable sealant. Consult with the
company providing the roofing warranty.
Securely fasten the L-feet to the roof with
the lag screws. Ensure that the L-feet face as
shown in Figure 8 and 9. For greater ventila-
tion, the preferred method is to place the
single-slotted square side of the L-foot against
the roof with the double-slotted side perpen-
dicular to the roof. If the installer chooses to
mount the L-foot with the long leg against the
roof, the bolt slot closest to the bend must be
used.

[3.3.3] Attaching modules to the rails
Lay the modules for a given panel face down on a surface
that will not damage the module glass. Align the edges of the
modules and snug them together (Fig. 21, page22).
Trim the rails to the total width of the modules to be mounted.
Place a rail adjacent to the outer mounting holes. Orient
the footing bolt slot outward. Place a clip slot adjacent to
the mounting holes, following the arrangement you selected
earlier.
Assemble the clips, mounting bolts, and flange nuts. Torque
the flange nuts to 15-foot-pounds.
Wire the modules as needed. For safety reasons, module
wiring should not be performed on a roof. For a neat
installation, fasten cable clamps to rails with self-tapping
screws.
[3.3.4] Installing the module-rail assembly
Bring the module-rail assembly to the installation site. Keep
rail slots free of debris that might cause bolts to bind in the
slots.
Consider the weight of a fully assembled panel. UniRac rec-
ommends safety lines whenever lifting one to a roof.
Align the panel with the previously installed L-feet. Slide 3/8
inch L-foot mounting bolts onto the rail and align them with
the L-feet mounting holes. Attach the panel to the L-feet and
finger tighten the flange nuts.
Rails may be attached to either of two mounting holes in the
footings (Fig. 25).
• Mount in the lower hole for a low, more aethetically
pleasing installation.
• Or mount in the upper hole to maximize a cooling
airflow under the modules. This may enhance perfor-
mance in hotter climates.
Adjust the position of the panel as needed to fit the installa-
tion area. Slide the remaining L-feet bolts onto the other rail,
attach L-feet, and finger tighten with flange nuts. Align L-feet
with mounting holes previously drilled into the roof. Install
lag bolts into remaining L-feet as described in "Laying out and
installing L-feet" above.
Torque all footing flange nuts to 30 pounds. Verify that all lag
bolts are securely fastened.

� Stainless steel hardware can seize up, a process
j�\ called galling. To significantly reduce its
r'� tikelihood, (1) apply lubricant to bolts, preferably
an anri-seize iubricant, available at auto parts
stores, (2) shade hardware prior to installarion,
and (3) avoid spinning on nuts at high speed.
