Re: Rooftop Solar Arrays
Chamonix – Vail, SGM Job # 2016-453.001
Dear Rob,
I have reviewed the attached submittal for the rooftop solar arrays proposed by Active Energies
Solar, dated 6/19/2017. The weight of the units has been accounted for in the structural design
dead loads, and the flush mount system does not affect the roof loading provisions for snow
drifting or sliding. No changes to the approved structural plans or truss shop drawings are
required.
The photovoltaic solar panel arrays are proposed for portions of the roofs of Units 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8,
10, 11, 12, 18, 21, 25, 27, 28, 30, 31, and 32. The arrays consist of Hanwha Q.Peak G4.300
solar panels mounted flush on the roof. The manufacturer’s listed weight is 41.45 pounds for
each 65.7 inch by 39.4 inch panel. Flush mount systems using a Unirac racking system with
Sunmodo feet is proposed. Total weight of the solar panels and mounting systems impose less
than 3 pounds per square foot on the roof. The design dead load for the roof, as listed on the
approved plans, of 20 psf includes adequate allowance for the 3 psf of the solar panel arrays.
The solar panels proposed are flush mounted to the roof. The panels are 1.26 inches tall, and
the mounting systems proposed hold them just above and parallel to the roof surface. Tilting or
elevated systems that would affect snow drifting or sliding are not proposed. The height of the
panels proposed and the surfacing does not require any changes to the snow drifting or sliding
provisions of the previously approved plans and truss shop drawings.
In summary, I have reviewed the rooftop solar array submittal and no changes to the approved
structural plans or truss shops are required.
Sincerely,
John E. Partch, P.E.

Inverter: SolarEdge SE3000A-US Inverter (1 string of 12 modules/optimizers)
Array tilt angle: 26.57
Array azimuth: 170” (where 180” is south)
Estimated annual power production: 5,229kWh
Maximum PV System Voltage: 690.7
Voc = 39.76V/module
39.76V x 1 module = 39.76V
Temperature correction factor 690.7(A)
Temperature Coefficient (Voc) = -0.28%/C
(-65C x (-.0028C )) = .182%
((.182% x 39.76V) x 1 panels) + 39.76V = 47V
Maximum PV Source Circuit (String) Current: 690.8 (A)(1)
Isc = 9.77A
9.77A x 1.25 = 12.2A

Units 1 and 4 needs to be pushed as far west as possible to avoid shedding snow from units 2 and 5. Units 2 and 5 needs to be pushed as far
north to avoid too much shedding on lower arrays.
Each array is 10.97ft tall x 20.14ft wide (including mounting equipment) this sketch is NOT to scale
