PV Ground-Mount Structural Calculations
Budget: $10 – $50 USD
I have a ground-mounted photovoltaic array ready for final engineering approval. What I now need is a complete structural package that satisfies local code for wind and gravity loads, optimised for galvanized steel supports and taking our clay soil bearing capacity into account.
Your scope covers three core items:
• Wind and structural load calculations for the steel support frames, including any analytical models and summary tables that an AHJ or plan checker would expect.
• Foundation layout drawings sized for clay soil, showing plan views, sections, and anchor details.
• Reinforcement plans with bar schedules and clear cover notes, ready to drop straight into the construction set.
Please run the numbers in the structural software you are most comfortable with—STAAD, SAP2000, Robot, RISA, or similar—and reference the governing code (IBC / ASCE 7 or local equivalent) on every sheet. Deliverables must arrive in both PDF and original CAD format so we can edit if site conditions shift during installation.
Turnaround time is flexible within reason, but let me know your estimated schedule in the proposal. If anything is unclear, ask early so we can keep this moving smoothly toward permit approval.
