Ensuring the roof can safely support the array for decades is a non-negotiable aspect of any project. This involves a detailed structural load analysis for PV roofs, accounting for various forces. Several types of loads act on a roof after a PV installation. The primary ones include:
While a typical system adds only a few pounds per square foot, this permanent load must be factored into the roof's total capacity. Live Loads: These are temporary loads, such as maintenance crews walking on the roof or equipment used during installation. Environmental Loads: These are the most complex and critical forces.
The roof slope is 1⁄4 in. per ft (1.2°). The PV modules will be parallel to the roof surface. The distance between the flat part of the roof deck and the top edge of the integral aluminum frame of the PV module is to be 5 in. (127 mm). The PV modules are 60 cell and are 39 in. (1 m) wide and 66 in. (1.68 m) long.
The test is based on a modified E108 test to include the roof cover system and the PV panel (known as the roof-PV system). The PV panel and roof cover are placed at the beginning edge of the test apparatus as a system. This configuration allows the wind driven fire to effect both the roof cover and panel at the same time.
