Solar Structural Design Specialist
About this Gig
Need structural calculations for a rooftop solar installation?
I provide solar roof load and wind uplift calculation support for residential, commercial, and industrial PV projects. Depending on the agreed scope and available information, services may include:
- Solar panel dead load calculations
- Wind pressure and uplift assessment
- Roof capacity and framing checks
- Rafter, truss, joist and beam load evaluation
- Solar mounting and attachment load checks
- Organized structural calculation reports
I work with solar installers, roofing contractors, PV designers, and engineering teams that need clear technical documentation for project review.
To get started, please provide the project location, roof plans, framing details, solar panel layout, panel and mounting-system weights, roof dimensions, and applicable design criteria.
Message me before ordering so we can confirm the required calculations, deliverables, schedule, and project complexity.
Wind loads and structural checks depend on the applicable code edition, site conditions, building geometry, and mounting configuration.

FAQ
What information do you need to calculate solar panel roof loads?
Please provide roof plans, framing details, panel layout, module and mounting-system weights, building location, roof dimensions and applicable design criteria. Existing structural drawings and manufacturer specifications are especially helpful.
Can you calculate wind uplift and check whether my roof can support solar panels?
These services can be included within an agreed scope when sufficient project information is available. The assessment may consider applicable wind loads, additional dead loads, roof framing and mounting attachments. The results depend on the specific building and installation.
Can I use your calculations for a US solar permit?
I can discuss calculation documentation for project review, but acceptance depends on the local authority, applicable codes and professional licensing requirements. Confirm whether sealed calculations or other specific documents are required before ordering.
