Structural Engineering is a small but critical part of the engineering for a rooftop solar project. It can make or break the feasibility of the project or have significant effects on the system size and cost of racking.
It can make or break the feasibility of the project or have significant effects on the system size and cost of racking. In this article, Pure Power''s in-house structural engineering team shares the high level process involved in the structural analysis of a rooftop solar project.
Incorporating additional components to a roof is another method that can be used to strengthen structural elements, increasing a roof’s capacity for solar installations. By adding new elements with higher capacity or reinforcing existing structural members, the roof can safely support the weight of the solar system.
Solar structural engineering experts pay close attention to three main factors when designing solar structures to make sure solar installations work well and last. These are – a roof’s load capacity, structural integrity and compatibility.
Our solar power systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
