FAQ
Q1: What information do you need to perform a solar roof structural analysis?
A: I need architectural drawings, roof framing details, building location, roof dimensions, solar panel layout, panel weight, and mounting system information.
Q2: Do you calculate solar panel dead loads and wind uplift loads?
A: Yes. I analyze additional solar panel dead loads and evaluate wind uplift effects on the roof structure based on the provided project information.
Q3: What roof structures can you analyze?
A: I can analyze common residential roof systems including wood rafters, wood trusses, and other framing systems when sufficient structural information is provided.
Q4: Do you provide engineering calculations for permits?
A: Yes. I provide professional calculation reports. Permit acceptance and stamping requirements depend on local jurisdiction requirements.
Q5: Is a PE stamp or engineer seal available?
A: Yes, stamped/sealed documents may be available through a licensed professional engineer depending on project location and requirements. Contact me before ordering.
