I help solar installers, EPCs, contractors, property owners, and engineering teams review and update existing solar PV designs for residential and commercial projects.
Services include:
- Existing solar PV system review
- Solar retrofit and system upgrade design
- Structural redesign and load calculations
- Roof framing and attachment review
- Panel, racking, and mounting modifications
- Wind, snow, and seismic load checks
- Existing drawing and calculation revisions
