Structural Engineers for Solar Projects

We offer in-house structural engineering services for both residential and commercial projects.

RESIDENTIAL

For residential projects, we do the structural assessment after the array is planned out, so we determine if the roof can support the array. Local loading conditions like snow, wind, and seismic activity are included in the analysis.

Commercial

For commercial projects, we do the assessment before the array is planned out, so we first determine how much additional loading the structure can support (which can be much greater a standard array). After the array is planned out, we do a second review for the array specifically. Local loading conditions like snow, wind, and seismic activity are included in the analysis.

Our structural engineers can also provide ballasting reviews and HVAC structural assessments.

Our Process

Exactus Energy offers a complete, pre-build solution for installers and contractors. Our proficiency extends from initial site assessments to permit-ready packages ensuring compliance with stringent regulations and safety standards.

What sets Exactus Energy apart is our tailored approach. We recognize that every company and client may have distinct requirements, so we provide the flexibility to choose the service you require in the permitting process as separate services. Whether it's conducting thorough structural analyses, producing detailed engineering drawings, or offering professional reviews and certifications, we can cater to your specific needs.

Presenting these services a la carte, allows us to empower clients to select only the precise support they require, optimizing both resource allocation and the permit acquisition timeline.

This customizable approach ensures that clients receive expert guidance and support, tailored precisely to their project's unique demands, ultimately facilitating a smoother and more efficient permit procurement process.

 

Site survey/Initial assessment

The engineer assesses the project scope, including the type of solar project (residential or commercial. Then, one of our site technicians goes out to the project address and assesses the site conditions, existing structures, and any specific requirements or constraints.

Design Phase

From the data collected by our drone and 3D modeling technology, our engineers create a dimensionally accurate roof drawing and panel layout. This is optimized based on a variety of factors, such as shadow analysis, local building and fire codes, and other potential obstructions.

Engineering Calculations and Drawings

The engineer meticulously tailors detailed structural and electrical engineering packages, ensuring precision and efficiency in every aspect. Each package is crafted to match the unique scope and requirements of the project at hand.

 
 

Professional Engineer Review and Stamp

The engineer, as a licensed PE, reviews existing calculations, drawings, and specifications to ensure they meet industry standards, building codes, and safety requirements.

Client Support

Throughout this process, the engineer may liaise with the client, providing guidance, answering questions, and ensuring a clear understanding of the structural design's implications and requirements.
