I will solar panel roof load structural analysis report
Structural Designer, Foundation Repair and Load Analysis
About this Gig
I will run a structural load analysis on your roof to verify it can support your solar panel installation. Here is how I will approach it. I will start by reviewing your roof framing, whether rafters or trusses, along with the span, spacing, and existing roofing material.
Next I will calculate the added dead load from the solar panels and mounting system, combined with the existing live and snow loads for your area. From there I will determine whether your existing roof structure has sufficient capacity or if reinforcement is needed at specific points. I will then prepare a clean calculation report formatted for submission with your solar permit application.
After this process, you will receive a structural load report confirming your roof's capacity for solar panels, helping your permit move through review without unnecessary delays.
If this sounds like what you need, message me before placing your order so we can go over your roof framing details first.

If reinforcement is needed, I can identify the specific locations and provide reinforcement details as an add-on.
