As solar energy continues to gain traction, more rooftops are being transformed into mini power stations. But beneath every successful solar installation lies a crucial step that often goes unnoticed: structural calculations.
Before a single panel is mounted, it’s essential to understand how the added loads, both dead and live loads will interact with the existing roof structure. Factors like wind uplift, roof slope, and roof material all play a role in ensuring long-term safety and performance.
At KAEG, we’ve recently started working closely with solar installation teams to provide structural assessments tailored to these unique challenges. Whether it’s a residential bungalow or a commercial flat roof, we help verify that the structure can safely support the system—or recommend reinforcements where needed.
It’s an exciting evolution of our work in structural design, and one we’re proud to be a part of. Because in the transition to clean energy, every detail matters, and that includes what’s holding it all up.
