I will write a structural engineering letter, stamp for solar panel roof load analysis
Structural And MEP Design Engineer
About this Gig
Are you a solar installer, contractor, or homeowner needing a certified structural engineering letter to pass local city or county permitting? Look no further.
I am a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) specializing in structural roof load evaluations for residential and commercial solar PV installations. I provide code-compliant structural calculation letters with an official PE Stamp and signature to ensure your solar permit package gets approved smoothly.
What This Gig Includes:
- Dead Load Analysis: Verification of the existing roof structure plus the weight of the new solar modules and racking system.
- Live & Environmental Load Checks: Evaluation of wind uplift, snow loads, and seismic criteria based on your local building code.
- Framing Capacity Assessment: Verification of rafters or trusses to support the localized engineering loads.
- Official Engineering Letter: A professional, signed, and PE-stamped letter explicitly stating the structural adequacy of the roof.
Ensure your solar project passes inspection without delays. Select a package or message me today to get started!

FAQ
What states are you licensed to provide a PE Stamp for?
I am currently licensed to issue a structural PE stamp in the following states: [Insert Your States, e.g., NY, CA, FL, TX]
Do you analyze flat roofs with ballasted (non-penetrating) solar systems?
Yes, but ballasted systems on flat roofs require a more complex engineering analysis to calculate sliding, overturning, and localized roof crushing.
Can you provide wet stamps (physical ink) or only digital stamps?
This gig includes a digitally signed and sealed PDF letter using board-approved electronic signatures, which 99% of building departments accept for online permit submissions
What happens if my roof framing fails the structural analysis?
If the existing roof framing is structurally inadequate to support the new solar loads under local wind/snow codes, I cannot stamp a letter stating it is adequate. Instead, I will notify you immediately
