Solar Connection, Inc. 6254 34th Ave NW, Suite A Rochester, MN, 55901 Attn.: To Whom It May Concern re: Job 20-08474 : Tara And Will Forbord Prepared By: PZSE, Inc. - Structural Engineers Roseville, CA October 12, 2020 If you have any questions on the above, do not hesitate to call. The following calculations are for the structural engineering design of the photovoltaic panels located at 21285 Inspiration Ct, Lakeville, MN 55044. After review, PZSE, Inc. certifies that the roof structure has sufficient structural capacity for the applied PV loads.
