document in the event additional information be uncovered or made available.
A structural evaluation of loading was conducted for the above address based on the design criteria listed above.
Existing roof structural framing has been reviewed for additional loading due to installation of Solar PV System on the roof. The structural
review applies to the sections of roof that is directly supporting the Solar PV System.
Based on this evaluation, I certify that the alteration to the existing structure by installation of the Solar PV System meets the prescriptive
compliance requirements of the applicable existing building and/or new building provisions adopted/referenced above.
Additionally, the Solar PV System assembly (including attachment hardware) has been reviewed to be in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specifications and to meet and/or exceed the requirements set forth by the referenced codes.
Sincerely,
BARUN CORP

Limits of Scope of Work and Liability:
The existing structure has been reviewed based on the assumption that it has been originally designed and constructed per appropriate
codes. The structural analysis of the subject property is based on the provided site survey data. The calculations produced for this
structure's assessment are only for the roof framing supporting the proposed PV installation referenced in the stamped planset and were
made according to generally recognized structural analysis standards and procedures. All PV modules, racking and attachment
components shall be designed and installed per manufacturer’s approved guidelines and specifications. These plans are not stamped for
water leakage or existing damage to the structural component that was not accessed during the site survey. Prior to commencement of
work, the PV system installer should verify that the existing roof and connections are in suitable condition and inspect framing noted on
the certification letter and inform the Engineer of Record of any discrepancies prior to installation. The installer should also check for any
damages such as water damage, cracked framing, etc. and inform the Engineer of Record of existing deficiencies which are unknown
and/or were not observable during the time of survey and have not been included in this scope of work. Any change in the scope of the
work shall not be accepted unless such change, addition, or deletion is approved in advance and in writing by the Engineer of Record. The
Engineer of Record and Barun Corp claim no responsibility for misuse and improper installation.
