AThe installer is solely responsible for: • Complying with all applicable local or national building codes, including any that may supersede this manual; • Ensuring that Unirac and other products are appropriate for the particular installation and the installation environment; • Ensuring that the roof, its rafters,connections, and other structural support members can support the array under all code level loading conditions (this total building assembly is referred to as the building structure); • Using only Unirac parts and installer-supplied parts as specified by Unirac (substitution of parts may void the warranty and invalidate the letters of certification in all Unirac publications); • Ensuring that lag screws have adequate pullout strength and shear capacities as installed; • Verifying the strength of any alternate mounting used in lieu of the lag screws; • Maintaining the waterproof integrity of the roof, including selection of appropriate flashing; • Ensuring safe installation of all electrical aspects of the PV array; and • Ensuring correct and appropriate design parameters are used in determining the design loading used for design of the specific installation. Parameters,such as snow loading,wind speed, exposure and topographic factor should be confirmed with the local building official or a licensed professional engineer. Page 2 SunFrame Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual 'IFUNIRAC Part I. Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load [1.1.] Using the Simplified Method -ASCE 7-05 The procedure to determine Design Wind Load is specified for more clarification on the use of Method I.Lower design by the American Society of Civil Engineers and referenced in wind loads may be obtained by applying Method II from ASCE the International Building Code 2006. For purposes of this 7-05.Consult with a licensed engineer if you want to use document,the values,equations and procedures used in this Method II procedures. document reference ASCE 7-05,Minimum Design Loads for The equation for determining the Design Wind Load for Buildings and Other Structures. Please refer to ASCE 7-05 if components and cladding is: you have any questions about the definitions or procedures presented in this manual.Unirac uses Method 1,the Simplified Method,for calculating the Design Wind Load for pnet(psf) =i1Kzd pnerso pressures on components and cladding in this document. peer(psf)=Design Wind Load The method described in this document is valid for flush,no tilt,SunFrame Series applications on either roofs or walls. A=adjustment factor for height and exposure category Flush is defined as panels parallel to the surface(or with no more than 3"difference between ends of assembly)with no Kzt=Topographic Factor at mean roof height,h(ft) more than 10"space between the roof surface,and the bottom I=Importance Factor of the PV panels. This method is not approved for open structure calculations. Nam(psf) =net design wind pressure for Exposure B,at height Applications of these procedures is subject to the following =30,I=1 ASCE 7-05 limitations: 1.The building height must be less than 60 feet,h<60. See note for determining h in the next section. For installations You will also need to know the following information: on structures greater than 60 feet,contact your local Unirac Distributor. Basic Wind Speed=V(mph),the largest 3 second gust of wind in 2.The building must be enclosed,not an open or partially the last 50 years. enclosed structure,for example a carport. h(ft)=total roof height for flat roof buildings or mean roof 3.The building is regular shaped with no unusual geometrical height for pitched roof buildings irregularity in spatial form,for example a geodesic dome. Effective Wind Area(sf)=minimum total continuous area of 4.The building is not in an extreme geographic location such modules being installed as a narrow canyon or steep cliff. 5.The building has a flat or gable roof with a pitch less than 45 Roof Zone=the area of the roof you are installing the pv system degrees or a hip roof with a pitch less than 27 degrees. according to Figure 2,page 5. 6.If your installation does not conform to these requirements Roof Zone Setback Length=a(ft) please contact your local Unirac distributor,a local professional engineer or Unirac Roof Pitch(degrees) If your installation is outside the United States or does not Exposure Category meet all of these limitations,consult a local professional engineer or your local building authority.Consult ASCE 7-05 [1.2.] Procedure to Calculate Total Design Wind The procedure for determining the Design Wind Load can be Step 2:Determining Effective Wind Area broken into steps that include looking up several values in Determine the smallest area of continuous modules you will different tables. be installing. This is the smallest area tributary(contributing load)to a support or to a simple-span of rail.That area is the Step 1:Determine Basic Wind Speed,V(mph) Effective Wind Area.

Procedure to Select Rail Span and Rail Type [2.1.] Using Standard Beam Calculations, Structural Engineering Methodology The procedure to determine the Unirac SunFrame series Step 1:Determine the Total Design Load rail type and rail span uses standard beam calculations and The Total Design Load,P(psf)is determined using ASCE 7-05 structural engineering methodology. The beam calculations 2.4.1(ASD Method equations 3,5,6 and 7)by adding the Snow are based on a simply supported beam conservatively,ignoring the reductions allowed for supports of continuous beams over dl,S(psf),Design Wind Load,p (psf)from Part I,Step 9 a multiple supports.Please refer to Part I for more information 9 and the Dead Load(psf).Both Uplift and Downforce Wind on beam calculations,equations and assumptions. Loads calculated in Step 9 of Part 2 must be investigated. Use Table 7 to calculate the Total Design Load for the load cases. In using this document,obtaining correct results is Use the maximum absolute value of the three downforce cases dependent upon the following: and the uplift case for sizing the rail.Use the uplift case only 1.Obtain the Snow Load for your area from your local building for sizing lag bolts pull out capacities(Part II,Step 6). official. 2.Obtain the Design Wind Load,pnet.

Page 15 ::° 0 m Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual SunFrame Installing the array Safe,efficient SunFrame installation involves three principal tasks: A. Laying out the installation area and planning for material conservation. B. Installing footings and rails,beginning with the lowest row and moving up the roof. C. Placing modules and cap strips,beginning with the highest row and moving down the roof. The following illustrated steps describe the procedure in detail.Before beginning,please note these important considerations. Footings must be lagged into structural members.Never attach them to the decking alone,which leaves both the array and roof susceptible to severe damage. AFor array widths or lengths greater than 45 feet,see instruction manual 9O8.1 concerning thermal expansion issues. `��°��hA 1'/2 at each end of array Sample layout;illustrated in Figure 4� �� U� Assumptions:12 modules 71 arranged m 3 rows of ffod`ules Arra width 144 C36 module,Width x 4 modules et row) y P r" Wry r H pegk Array length 180 ai(60 module length x 3 rows)' �, ! +3 1i/z end rail wtdtla x 2 rails{ } I spore betviena eiuie rows 1'fi VV4".between�module rail width x 2 rails) Ala " 1.La out the installation area Allay Laying length od eue Rails Always install SunFrame rails perpendicular to rafters.(These =testgth,( � !p; instructions assume typical rafters that run from the gutter 'l4 capfion} p �� e ' to the peak of the roof.If this is not the case,contact Unirac.)
