Dear Mr. Bartholick,
Enclosed please find a building permit and electrical permit for work to be done on Bob Vreeland's home. Per my email,
Tache Bentley of Woodpecker will be reinforcing the roof per the engineer's recommendations(3 sets of plans attached).
When this work is done,our company(Power Trip Energy)will be installing a 5.72 kW solar affay on Mr.Vreeland's
east and west house roofs.
The two contractors(Power Trip Energy and Woodpecker)are independent and are working with Mr.Vreeland directly
and separately. Power Trip Energy is responsible for the solar PV installation and Woodpecker for the roof
reinforcement.
Harold Anderson's engineering report covers both aspects of this project.
Mr.Vreeland will be dropping of the plan check fee of$1.30.44. The electrical permit fee will be paid by Power Trip
Energy and the credit card information is provided. The final building permit fee of$741.54 will be paid by Mr.Vreeland
when the permit is ready to be issued.
If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to call my cell phone at 360-301-9019.
Sincerely,
Jeff Randall

Dar Mr Randall:
As you requested we have analyzed the Bob Vreeland residence at 520 E 10 th
Street in Port Angeles. This work was to determine structural adequacy of the
existing house to support an 11 module solar array on each side of the pitched
roof.
These solar panels add a 3 pound per square foot gravity load to the IBC and
City required 25 psf snow load and 15 psf (approximate) dead load. These
Code required loads apply to the entire roof surface. The solar panel loads are
on a width of 5.5 feet, measured down from the ridge, over a length of roughly
36 feet centered on the house. The wind induced uplift load at this location is
approximately 11 psf. To provide additional detail, copies of my design
calculations and your August 1 letter, which have sketches and photos, are
attached.
From my analysis of the information you provided, I find that the roof structure
requires additional reinforcing to adequately support the aforementioned gravity
loads. The roof will adequately resist uplift loads. The gravity load reinforcing is
for roof framing on the west side only. The east side is acceptable as it exists.
The west side work includes:
• adding a 1.75 inch by 9.25 inch by 18 foot LVL beam on each side of the
existing attic space pony wall on the south,
• adding a 1.75 inch by 11.25 inch by 20 foot LVL beam on each side of
the existing attic space pony wall on the north, and
• adding a 6 inch by 6 inch (or equivalent) post in the interior bearing wall
under ends of the 18 and 20 foot LVLs. The post needs to have an
existing or new concrete foundation.
Details that show these installations are on pages 7 & 8 of my calculations. The
nature of this project makes it difficult to detail all required connections and
some decisions may need to wait until reinforcing work is underway. Therefore,
I am happy to visit the project when construction is started to help if necessary.
I understand that you intend to use Unirac Solar Mount rails for attaching these
panels to the roof. From my analysis I believe that SM (standard mount) Rails
are adequate. However, the rail to roof connection should be spaced at 32
inches, perpendicular to the roof joists, instead of your standard 4 foot spacing.
Additionally, the top rail to joist and bottom rail to joist connection should be
staggered so that each joist has only one load bearing point. This is shown by
my sketch on page 10 of the calculations. Use a 5/16 inch diameter by 3 inch
long lag bolt at each of these connection points.
Thank you for selecting NTI for this work. Please let me know if you need
anything additional.

Dear Mr.Anderson,
I have prepared drawings for you of a solar array for Bob Vreeland's residence located at 520 E. 10"Street in Port
Angeles. Mr. Vreeland has contracted with Power Trip Energy to install a 5.28 kW Sharp solar array on the east and
west roofs of his home. The city of Port Angeles handles the electrical permit and requires a building permit also be
obtained prior to the installation of a solar PV system. I have attached the city of Port Angeles FAQ sheet for
residential solar installations. This handout indicates that two sets of pla n*s must be prepared which show:
1. The solar array can handle a minimum of 25 psf snow load and 100 mph winds;and,
2. Roof construction details be provided to show that the roof can handle the additional weight of the solar
modules.
We request your assistance in providing the necessary calculations and drawings to obtain the city building permit.
Per our previous projects of this type you estimated the cost to do this would be about$500. Please let me know if
this project will be significantly different in cost.
Different Modules and Racking from Last Application—Separate Engineering Letter Needed
This project is different from the previous analysis for McMahon in that we need an engineering letter from you
addressing the issues of the solar array handling the 25 pounds of snow load and 100 mph winds. For McMahon we
had engineering letters provided to us by the Solar Module manufacturer. In the present case,we will be using
different equipment with solar modules made by Sharp and the racking made by Unirac. The installation manual for
the Sharp solar modules states that the modules meet the minimum 25 psf of snow load(per their attached install
manual they are rated for 50 psf of snow load).
I have also attached the Unirae SolarMount installation manual. This manual provides the method for determining
the appropriate number of attachment points and their minimum separation to comply with building codes. This
methodology for documenting wind loads and determining the rail span and attachment points is located on pages 3
—13 of the Unirac manual.
We are seeking your assistance in documenting that the design meets the city of Port Angeles requirements as well
as the rail span and attachment points needed. We request that you provide a separate letter addressing both these
issues. Please also state whether our standard 4 ft.on center attachment Point method is adequate or should be
modified. We hope to reuse this letter for submittal to the city when,and if,we have future Sharp/Unirac
installations of this type.
Description of Vreeland House and Roof System
Mr.Vreeland's home is different from our prior projects in Port Angeles in that it is an older home that has been
modified and expanded over time. The original house was much smaller Oust the south 20 feet of the current home)
and the roof actually ran perpendicular to the current roof. This original house was moved to the site and was later
expanded and the roof structure was replaced and reoriented to face east and west. The ceiling joists in the SW
corner are original and run perpendicular to the rafters for this reason. The roof truss system in the home is 2"x 6"
type construction but has been reinforced with glularn beams and collar ties(see photos below). I realize this
structure is quite different than the truss roofs on newer construction you previously evaluated for us,but I hope you
are able to work with us to help Mr. Vreeland install a solar array on his home.
Solar Array Layout—Calculations Needed for Racking
We have designed the solar array to be on the east and west roof surfaces. Because the solar array takes up a small
portion of each roof, it could be moved to cover different portions of the roof if this helped with your calculations.
The proposed attachment points for the modules are shown on my drawings and are based upon 4 foot center
locations,but can be modified if needed.
Photos of Home
I've attached photos of Mr. Vreeland's home. It is basically a one story home over a daylight basement with an
attached garage at the basement level. It is located in an urban setting on gently sloping land(approximately 10
degrees slope). The roof pitch is 4:12(18.4 degrees). There is a single course of composition shingles on the roof
The roof is sheathed with 7/16"plywood.
Issue 1: Solar Modules and Minimum 25 PSF Snow Load
This issue is addressed by the installation manual for the Sharp ND-240QCJ solar modules,which state on page 4
the following,"These mounting methods are designed to allow module loading of 2,400 Pa(50.1 lb/ft2)." Please write a
separate letter covering this issue and issue 2 that we hope to reuse on future projects using this equipment.
Issue 2: Solar Modules and Minimum 100 MPH Wind
Please see the Unirac installation manual(attached)pages 3— 13. We are seeking your assistance with providing
the documentation for the city of this equipment meeting the required wind speeds and for your determination of the
necessary attachment point separations per the installation manual. Normally we attach this racking to the rafters on
4 foot centers,however,we are looking for your analysis to determine whether more or less spacing is appropriate
for the attachment method using this equipment in Port Angeles. Please address this issue in the separate letter also
that we could reuse for installations using this same equipment.
Issue 3: Roof Construction Detail and Additional Weiaht of Solar Modules
This is the issue you have addressed in the past. The 22 Sharp solar modules plus racking and PV Quick Mount
flashings weigh a total of 1,218 pounds. Because the array will be split among the two roofs,each roof face will
have 609 pounds of array. This weight will be distributed over 407.4 square feet for a weight ratio of 2.98 pounds
per s.f.of roof area.
The home was constructed over various periods of time. Neither the city nor the current home owner has a set of
plans for the building. The roof is a gable-truss style construction with an attic. The roof pitch is 4:12(18.4
degrees)and the roof has a single layer of asphalt composition shingles. The subroofing consists of 7/16"plywood
and the 2"x 6"trusses are spaced at 16"on center. There are two 12"high x 6"wide glulams spanning the length
of the house(38')under the trusses on either side of the ridge. Please see the attached sketches and photos to
explain the house roof construction.

The layout of the solar array and the attachment method on either roof can be modified if necessary. If a different
layout is preferable,just let me know.
Please see attachments showing overall roof plan,dimensions,solar array dimensions and locations,and
specifications for the solar modules and Quick Mount PV attachment hardware. Let me know if this is sufficient
information for you to provide the needed information for the city of Port Angeles building permit.
