I will provide solar structural calculations for roof and permit approval
About this Gig
Need structural calculations for a solar permit or want to know whether your existing roof can support a proposed PV system?
I provide solar structural calculations and roof load analysis for residential and selected commercial solar projects. I help solar installers, PV designers, contractors, architects, and property owners address structural requirements before permit submission or resubmittal.
I can review your solar plans and available roof information and evaluate applicable structural loads, including PV dead load, wind uplift, snow load, seismic effects, roof framing, rafters, trusses, beams, and solar attachment conditions.
This service can help when a building department requests structural calculations, when a solar plan needs structural documentation, or when you need an engineering review of an existing roof before installation.
Depending on the project, deliverables may include structural calculations, engineering documentation, calculation summaries, marked-up structural details, and recommendations for required structural modifications.

FAQ
Can you calculate whether my roof can support solar panels?
Yes. I can evaluate the available roof/framing information and analyze applicable loads and structural members within the agreed scope.
Can you provide calculations for a solar permit?
Yes. I can prepare solar-related structural calculations and documentation based on the project information and requirements provided.
Do you analyze roof rafters and trusses?
Yes. Where sufficient information is available, I can check applicable roof framing members for the proposed solar loads.
Can you check wind uplift?
Yes. Wind effects and uplift can be evaluated when the required project and mounting information is available.
Can you check snow loads?
Yes. Snow-load analysis can be included for projects where it is applicable.
Can you review solar attachment loads?
Yes. I can review the proposed mounting/attachment information and perform applicable structural checks.
My solar permit was rejected. Can you help?
Yes. If the correction involves structural calculations or documentation, send the plan-review comments and current plans so I can determine the required revision scope.
Can you work from plans supplied by my solar company?
Yes. Solar layouts, roof plans, framing plans, structural drawings, and related project documents can be reviewed remotely.
Do you provide PE stamping?
Where required, sealing/stamping depends on project location, applicable licensing, and authorization. I only provide professional sealing where legally authorized and within my licensure.
Can you work with solar installers who have multiple projects?
Yes. The workflow can be structured around repeated solar projects, provided each project includes sufficient information for the required structural analysis.
