Structural Engineering

Every solar installation adds load to a structure. Solar Mason's structural engineers verify that your roof or ground-mount foundation can safely support the additional weight and environmental forces of a solar array throughout its 25+ year lifespan.

🏠 Roof Load Analysis

Dead load, live load, wind uplift, and snow drift calculations verify roof structural capacity. We assess trusses, rafters, decking, and connections.

🌪️ Wind Engineering

ASCE 7 wind load calculations for your specific exposure category, building height, and roof zone. Edge and corner zones receive additional engineering attention.

❄️ Snow Load Design

NEPA ground snow loads of 30–50 psf require careful consideration. We account for drift, sliding, and unbalanced conditions created by panel arrays.

📄 PE Stamp

All structural calculations and drawings are reviewed and stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer registered in Pennsylvania.
