I will write a structural engineering letter for solar panel roof load analysis
Structural And MEP Design Engineer
About this Gig
Are you a solar installer, contractor, or property owner looking for code-compliant structural calculations that easily pass local city or utility permit reviews?
I specialize in professional rooftop solar structural analysis and precise roof dead, live, wind, and snow load verification. I will provide a professional structural engineering evaluation report or certification letter stating your building can safely support your new PV system.
What I deliver in your structural packet:
- Dead Load Assessment: Calculation of your solar array weight vs. existing roof framing capacity.
- Environmental Live Loads: Wind speed (Vasd / Vult) and ground snow load compliance based on local zone data.
- Connection & Rafter Verification: Point-load pullout calculations for roof attachments and rafter spans.
- Compliant Calculations: Professionally organized PDF engineering report ready for city plan-checks.
Codes and Standards Supported:
US Codes: ASCE 7, International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC).
International Codes: Eurocodes (EN 1991), British Standards (BS), Australian Standards (AS1170).

FAQ
Do you provide a stamped or signed engineering seal?
My standard packages include professional engineering calculation sheets and a signed letter of compliance. If your local building department strictly requires a local state or country PE (Professional Engineer) digital stamp, please message me first to confirm regional availability.FAQ 4
Do your reports pass local municipal and utility building permits?
Yes! All structural analysis packets and certification letters are detailed to meet standard building codes (like ASCE 7 and IBC/IRC). They provide the precise engineering math that city plan-checkers look for to verify roof load safety.
What details do you need from me to start the solar structural analysis?
To get started, I need the exact installation address (to look up local wind/snow loads), the solar layout plan, the data sheet for your panels/racking system, and basic details about your roof structure (wood rafter size and spacing, or steel purlin spacing).
Can you analyze commercial flat roofs or ground-mount systems?
Yes, absolutely. For commercial ballasted racking flat roofs or open-field ground-mount structures (concrete pads, helical piles, or ground screws), please choose the Premium package or contact me for a custom quote.
