I will analyze your roof structure for solar panel loads, wind and snow
About this Gig
Can your existing roof safely support the proposed solar panels?
I provide structural analysis of existing roof systems for proposed solar PV installations. I help solar installers, contractors, designers, architects, and property owners evaluate roof framing before installation or permit submission.
Depending on the available project information, I can review rafters, trusses, beams, roof sheathing, solar dead loads, wind effects, snow loads, seismic effects, and applicable load paths associated with the proposed PV system.
This service is useful when a solar installer needs to verify an existing roof, a permit reviewer requests structural documentation, or a client wants confirmation that the roof structure can accommodate the proposed solar loads.
I can work from available roof plans, framing plans, architectural drawings, solar layouts, structural drawings, photographs, and project information. Where the analysis identifies a structural concern, additional reinforcement analysis can be discussed as a separate scope.

FAQ
Can you determine if my roof can support solar panels?
Yes. I can evaluate the available roof and framing information and perform the applicable structural checks within the agreed scope.
Do you analyze roof rafters?
Yes. Rafter analysis can be included when sufficient information about the existing framing and proposed solar loads is available.
Do you check wind loads?
Yes. Applicable wind effects and uplift can be included in the structural analysis
Can you check snow loads?
Yes. Snow-load analysis can be included where applicable based on the project location and applicable design criteria.
What if my roof needs reinforcement?
If the analysis indicates that reinforcement may be required, I can discuss the additional structural design/calculation scope needed for the project
Can you analyze an existing roof from photographs?
Photographs can help establish existing conditions, but photographs alone may not provide enough information for a complete structural analysis. Additional plans, dimensions, framing information, or other documentation may be required.
Can you analyze a commercial roof?
Yes. Commercial rooftop solar projects can be reviewed, although larger or more complex structural systems may require a custom scope.
Can you provide a stamped engineering report?
Sealing/stamping depends on project location, applicable licensing, and authorization. I only provide professional sealing where legally authorized and within applicable licensure.
