superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 This practice details minimum requirements for the
installation of roof mounted photovoltaic arrays on steep-
sloped roofs with water-shedding roof coverings. These re-
quirements include proper water-shedding integration with the
roof system, material properties, flashing of roof penetrations,
and sufficient anchoring per regional design load requirements.
1.1.1 This practice does not apply to building-integrated or
adhesively attached photovoltaic systems that are applied as
roof-covering components.
1.2 This practice does not cover the electrical aspects of
installation.
1.3 Installation considerations are divided into two distinct
aspects: the interface between the photovoltaic module and the
array mounting structure, and the interface between the array
mounting structure and the roof or roof structure.
1.4 Safety and hazard considerations unique to this
application, such as worker fall protection, electrical exposure,
accessibility of modules, and roof clearance around the perim-
eter of the array are addressed by other codes, standards, or
authorities having jurisdiction.
1.5 This practice is intended to provide recommended
installation practices for use by installers, specifiers,
inspectors, or for specification by photovoltaic module manu-
facturers.
1.6 This practice provides minimum guidelines and should
be used in conjunction with module and mounting system
manufacturers’ instructions. This practice offers a set of in-
structions for performing one or more specific operations. This
document cannot replace education or experience and should
be used in conjunction with professional judgment. Not all
aspects of this practice may be applicable in all circumstances.
This ASTM standard is not intended to represent or replace the
standard of care by which the adequacy of a given professional
service must be judged, nor should this document be applied
without consideration of a project’s many unique aspects. The
word “Standard” in the title means only that the document has
been approved through the ASTM consensus process.
1.7 This practice is not intended to replace or supersede any
other applicable local codes, standards, or licensed design
professional instructions for a given installation.
1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-
priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-
mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Specific hazards are given in Section 8.
1.9 This international standard was developed in accor-
dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-
ization established in the Decision on Principles for the
Development of International Standards, Guides and Recom-
mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 Definitions of terms used in this standard may be
found in Terminologies D1079 and E772.
3.1.2 steep-slope, adj—in roofing, that which commonly
describes an incline of a roof which is greater than 25 % (14°
or 3:12 vertical rise to horizontal run). D1079
3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.2.1 array mounting structure, n—all structural and me-
chanical materials used to support and anchor the photovoltaic
modules on the roof system between the attachment system and
the roof deck.
3.2.2 attachment system, n—all structural and mechanical
materials used to support and anchor the photovoltaic modules
to the array mounting structure.
3.2.3 design life, n—the period of time during which a
system component is expected to perform its intended function,
without significant degradation of performance and without
requiring major maintenance or replacement. E772
3.2.4 licensed design professional, LDP, n—an individual
licensed to approve structural designs in the state or jurisdic-
tion where the roof mounted photovoltaic array will be
installed.
3.2.5 representative section, n—one or more modules con-
nected to an array mounting structure utilizing the same
connecting devices as would be used in an installation.
4. Significance and Use
4.1 With the rapid growth of the use of photovoltaic systems
in buildings, roof mounted arrays continue to be one of the
most prevalent forms of installations. These roof mounted
arrays typically feature penetrations into the roof system,
which can result in water leakage issues if not properly flashed
or applied to the roof system.
4.2 Structural integrity and durability of the application of
the roof mounted array to the roof system must be adequate per
applicable codes and regulations. This applies to both the
photovoltaic module-to-array mounting structure interface and
the array mounting structure-to-roof interface.
4.3 The installation of roof mounted arrays presents certain
hazards that must be addressed, which include fall protection,
carrying loads up ladders, wind and rain exposure during
installation, and electrical exposure during connections.
4.4 The topics covered in 4.1 – 4.3 are potentially a
significant barrier to broad acceptance of roof mounted photo-
voltaic systems if not adequately addressed.
5. Material Requirements
5.1 Design Life Alignment between the Array and the
Roof—In many cases, the design life of the photovoltaic array
may be significantly longer than the estimated design or
remaining life of the roof covering. The condition of the roof
structure and surface shall be evaluated to determine whether it
is sufficient to meet the design life of the roof mounted array.
Consultation with a roofing professional and building owner is
recommended.
5.2 Design Life (Exposure and Durability) of Array Mount-
ing Structure—Materials used in the array mounting structure
shall be selected such that the expected design life of the array
mounting structure is no less than the design life of the
photovoltaic modules. Test data from similar exposure appli-
cations is acceptable.
5.2.1 Polymeric based materials used in the array mounting
structure shall maintain structural integrity through expected
thermal exposure. Any polymeric materials in the structure
shall have a relative thermal index (RTI), as defined in UL
746C, of at least 90 °C. The thermal resistance of any poly-
meric material in direct contact with the module shall be
specified by the module manufacturer.
5.3 Adhesive Sealant Requirements:
5.3.1 Adhesives Used in Structural ElementsBond
strength must be sufficient to withstand structural loading as
determined by 6.1 and be durable through the expected design
life of the array mounting structure. The structural integrity of
the bond joining the components of the mounting structure to
the array (or to each other) shall be verified through system
testing per the structural requirements detailed in Section 6.
5.3.2 Adhesives Used in Non-Structural Bonding—Sealants
(such as for glazings or other components) must be verified to
meet the criteria for exterior perimeter sealants set forth in
Section 808.3 of AAMA 800.
5.4 Corrosion of Resistance of Metals:
5.4.1 Dissimilar metals in direct contact may corrode. Use
appropriate precautions per UL 60950-1 Table J.1 Electro-
chemical Potentials (V).
5.4.2 Requirements for the array mounting structure shall be
the same as the corrosion requirements for the module as set
forth in UL 1703 Sections 37 and 14 and Section 4.2 in IEC
61730-1.

5.5 Material Combustibility—Where applicable by local
jurisdiction fire code, materials used for the array mounting
structure to the roof shall be made of non-combustible material
per the requirements set forth in Test Method E136. If not
specified, the fire resistance of materials used in the array
mounting structure shall be reviewed by the LDP.
6. Structural Requirements
6.1 Design Considerations for the Installation of Photovol-
taic Modules onto Array Mounting Structure:
6.1.1 Manufacturers of array mounting structures shall pro-
vide a pre-engineered, pre-tested system. The structure design,
sizing method, and attachment method shall be reviewed by an
LDP or a representative section be tested for wind load
resistance.
NOTE 1—The mounting and fastening method shall comply with the
array mounting structure manufacturer’s recommendations subject to
engineering requirements. If slots or multiple mounting holes are provided
on either the array mounting structure or the connections, the worst-case
mounting positions shall be selected for testing purposes in order to
subject the array mounting structure to the maximum stresses.
6.1.2 Design Load Requirements—The module, the array
mounting structure, and the interface between the module and
array mounting structure shall be able to withstand regional
design loads as defined in applicable code or calculated
according to ASCE 7 (whichever is more stringent), including
a minimum safety factor, such as from the Aluminum Asso-
ciation design manual for Aluminum or AISC steel construc-
tion manual for steel.
6.1.3 The structural load of the attachment system shall not
be less than the design load requirements set forth in 6.1.2. The
structural load bearing capacity of the attachment system of the
module to the array mounting structure shall be specified by the
mounting structure manufacturer and be consistent with the
module manufacturers requirements.
6.2 Design Considerations for the Installation of Array
Mounting Structure onto Roof Structure—The interface be-
tween the mounting array and the roof shall meet the same
structural requirements as specified in 6.1. The roof structure
shall be evaluated by an LDP to ensure that the roof structural
members are sufficient for added load of PV modules and
mounting structures and the intended mounting does not create
unacceptable point loads either due to snow, wind or seismic,
or similar live loading.
6.3 Anchoring for Regional Load Requirements—All fas-
tening shall be into structural members of the roof. The
manufacturer of the array mounting structure shall report
representative fastener installations pullout values into Hem-
Fir (G = 0.43) wood per the National Design Specification for
Wood Construction (NDS). Fasteners not covered by the NDS
shall be tested per the requirements of Test Methods D1761
and the pullout values reported. For a given location, the uplift
or down load force may vary based on local wind, snow, and
seismic requirements, but the overall array mounting structure
shall be designed to resist a minimum of 30 psf (146 kg/m
2
)
uplift.
6.3.1 For existing roofs, the installer shall inspect the roof
structure for suitability of attachment; the photovoltaic system
shall not be installed into damaged (soft spots, droops, unusual
discoloration) structural material, such as decking material,
rafters, or roof support, unless approved by the LDP.
6.4 Special Damage Considerations—Before installation,
consider the effects of extreme weather (hail, hurricanes, heavy
snow), natural hazards (fire), and other potentially hazardous
objects (rocks, golf balls, insects, birds, chimney ash, sand,
dust) on the performance of the array mounting structure.
7. Integration with Existing Roof Systems
7.1 Flashing Roof Penetrations—Penetrations into the roof
shall be flashed in a manner that prevents moisture from
entering the roof system. Materials used to flash the fasteners
and mounting device to the roof shall be sufficiently durable
and compatible with existing roof to maintain performance
through the design life of the installation.
7.1.1 The integration of the mounting system shall be
compatible and aligned with the water shedding principles of
the roof system with proper flashing and sealing. Appropriate
design, materials, installation, and maintenance are essential to
the durability of the roof integration.
7.1.2 For shingled roof systems, the mounting feet shall be
integrated under the shingles in correct shingle fashion. See
Fig. 1 for an example using asphalt shingles. If shingles were
removed to attach the flashing, the shingles shall be reattached
after the installation of the flashing components. New shingles
shall be applied if the prior shingles are damaged.
7.1.3 For roof systems other than asphalt shingles, such as
tile, slate, wood, synthetic or standing seam metal roof
systems, follow the recommendations of the LDP.
7.2 Drainage Around and Under the Array—The photovol-
taic array shall be designed and installed in such a manner to
minimize the accumulation of debris or other material that can
result in blockage either under or around the array, causing
potential damming, ice buildup, or fire hazard around the
frame. Additionally, the array shall have sufficient access to
allow for removal of any debris that may accumulate during the
life of the system. A minimum stand-off height may be
specified by the module manufacturer to maintain their de-
signed operating temperatures.
7.3 Servicing of the Roof and Array—The designer shall
allow means to test modules to ensure proper grounding,
service, and repair per IFC or NFPA 1. Means shall be provided
to allow for servicing of the roof and to access interior regions
of the array.
8. Hazards
8.1 Fall Protection of Installers During Installation—Refer
to applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) regulations for personal protective equipment (PPE)
requirements appropriate for roof slope and height. Avoid
installing in inclement weather, such as wet, windy, or icy
conditions.
8.2 Electrical Exposure—Photovoltaic modules produce
electricity with sunlight exposure and proper care needs to be
taken with handling and wiring. Individual modules and
