I will calculate solar panel attachments, mounting, racking and wind uplift
About this Gig
Need structural calculations for your solar panel attachments or mounting system?
I provide structural analysis for solar attachments, mounting systems, racking, rails, fasteners, anchors, and applicable wind uplift loads for rooftop PV projects.
I help solar installers, PV designers, contractors, and property owners address structural questions involving how the proposed solar system connects to the existing roof or supporting structure.
Depending on the project information provided, I can evaluate applicable wind uplift, gravity loads, attachment forces, mounting conditions, fastener/anchor capacity, rail or racking loads, and load transfer into the supporting roof structure.
This service is useful when a solar project requires attachment calculations, a permit reviewer requests additional mounting information, an installer needs to verify a proposed attachment method, or existing solar calculations do not adequately document the connection requirements.
I can work from solar layouts, mounting-system information, manufacturer specifications, roof/framing plans, attachment details, project location, and permit comments.

FAQ
Can you calculate solar panel attachment loads?
Yes. I can analyze applicable forces on the proposed attachment system based on the project information and agreed scope.
Can you calculate solar wind uplift?
Yes. Applicable wind effects and uplift forces can be evaluated based on project location, configuration, mounting information, and applicable design criteria.
Can you check solar fasteners?
Yes. Where sufficient information is available, proposed fasteners or anchors can be checked for applicable structural demands.
Can you analyze solar racking?
Yes. Racking, rails, mounting brackets, and their applicable structural loading can be reviewed.
Can you check roof attachments?
Yes. The attachment and its load transfer into the supporting roof structure can be evaluated when adequate roof and connection information is provided.
Can you work with a manufacturer's mounting system?
Yes. Manufacturer specifications and installation documentation can be incorporated into the structural review.
A permit reviewer requested attachment calculations. Can you help?
Yes. Send the exact correction comments, solar plans, and mounting information so the required structural scope can be identified.
Can you calculate lag screw or anchor capacity?
Where the necessary information is available, applicable fastener or anchor capacity can be evaluated as part of the structural calculation scope.
Can you work on commercial solar attachments?
Yes. Commercial rooftop PV attachment analysis can be considered, although larger or more complex systems may require a custom scope.
