Process of obtaining the structural certificate for solar panels



Site evaluation

A team of engineers assesses the location where the solar panels will be installed in order to understand the environmental and structural conditions.



Analysis and calculations

Calculations and analyses are performed to verify the load-bearing capacity of the structure under different scenarios, such as strong winds or snow loads.



Technical report

A technical report is issued summarizing the evaluation results, which will be reviewed by the relevant authorities.



Certificate issuance

Once the documents are approved, the Structural Certificate is issued, endorsing the suitability and safety of the installation.

FAQ

Why is it necessary to obtain a structural certificate for photovoltaic structures?

It is essential to obtain this certificate to ensure that the support structure for the solar panels complies with current safety standards and regulations. Additionally, regulatory bodies and insurance companies typically require this certificate to ensure the reliability and durability of the installation.

What factors are considered when issuing a structural certificate for photovoltaic structures?

When issuing the certificate, factors such as geographical location, wind and snow load, the quality and strength of the materials used, the design of the structure, and its capacity to withstand static and dynamic forces over the system’s lifespan are taken into account.

What are the advantages of having a structural certificate for photovoltaic structures?

Having this certificate provides the trust that the installation is safe and reliable, reducing the risk of structural failures and long-term damage. It can also facilitate the approval of permits and licenses, and in some cases, be a requirement for accessing incentives or financing for solar projects.

Is it possible to obtain a structural certificate for photovoltaic structures after the installation has been completed?

Yes, it is possible to obtain a structural certificate afterwards, especially if the structure has been designed and built to the appropriate standards. In this case, a review and evaluation of the existing structure will be carried out to determine its compliance with safety requirements.
