The Role of Civil Engineers in Solar Projects

✓ Within the context of solar projects, civil engineering encompasses the planning, design, and implementation of critical infrastructure required for successful solar installations. It involves assessing and optimizing the site's conditions, including topography and soil composition, to ensure the ideal placement and stability of solar panels.

✓ Additionally, civil engineers devise the structural framework and foundations necessary to support the solar arrays, considering factors like load-bearing capacity and environmental resilience, ensuring the durability and longevity of the solar energy system.

Site Assessment

Analyze topography, soil conditions, and environmental factors to determine optimal solar panel placement.
Identify potential challenges and propose solutions for site-specific issues.

Foundation Design

Create robust and reliable foundations to support solar arrays.
Consider various types of foundations, such as concrete piers or ground screws, based on site characteristics.

Structural Support and Load Bearing Analysis

Design the structural framework to uphold and secure solar installations.
Conduct load-bearing analysis to ensure resilience against environmental forces like wind, snow, and seismic activity.

Accurate and Innovative Civil Design

At the heart of our solar array installation designs lies the crucial groundwork of civil engineering, establishing the foundational structure that enables the existence and functionality of solar power facilities. Integrating grading and stormwater management early in our layout process ensures a holistic design approach. Our adept designers harmonize earthwork quantities on-site and craft efficient access roads, effectively reducing construction expenses while minimizing land disturbance to honor each environment's unique sensitivities.

For sites where construction activities disturb more than an acre of land, adherence to a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) becomes imperative. At Exactus Energy, we consider SWPPP an essential environmental practice, implementing Best Management Practices (BMP) such as native vegetation, swales, bioretention areas, and silt fences to mitigate erosion and sedimentation, safeguarding the site throughout the construction phase.
