I will design ground mount solar structures, piles, foundations and wind loads
Solar Structural Engineering PV Design Permit Support
About this Gig
GROUND-MOUNT SOLAR NEEDS A FOUNDATION THAT WORKS. I will engineer your solar racking, piles, piers or footings with structural and wind-load calculations for permitting.
I provide ground-mount solar structural engineering for residential, commercial and larger PV installations.
Services include:
- Ground-mount solar structural calculations
- Solar racking analysis
- Steel support structure analysis
- Pile and pier design
- Concrete footing calculations
- Foundation capacity checks
- Anchor and connection analysis
- Wind uplift calculations
- Snow and seismic loads where applicable
- Overturning and stability checks
- Soil-dependent foundation analysis
- Permit engineering reports
I can evaluate fixed-tilt ground mounts and other supported PV structures based on the available project information.
Ideal for solar installers, EPC contractors, developers, contractors and engineers needing structural documentation for ground-mounted PV.
Provide the solar layout, racking information, foundation concept, site location and available soil/geotechnical information.
For pile or footing design, soil data can materially affect the required engineering scope.

FAQ
Can you design solar pile and pier foundations?
Yes. Piles, piers and concrete footings can be evaluated based on project loads, soil information and the proposed structure.
Do you calculate wind uplift for ground-mount solar?
Yes. Wind loads, uplift, overturning and stability checks can be included where applicable.
Do you need a soil report?
Soil information is highly useful for foundation design. If no report is available, send the available site information so the scope can be reviewed.
