6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic support warehouse placement requirements]

What are solar photovoltaic design guidelines?

In addition to the IRC and IBC, the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) has published solar photovoltaic (PV) design guidelines, which provide specific recommendations for solar array installations on low-slope roofs 3.

What are the structural requirements for solar panels?

Structural requirements for solar panels are crucial to ensure their durability, safety, and efficient performance. These requirements vary depending on the type of installation, such as rooftop or ground-mounted systems, as well as the specific location and environmental factors.

Can a roof support a solar PV system?

To host a solar PV system, a roof must be able to support the weight of PV equipment—generally between three and six pounds per square foot. At the time of building construction, minimizing the amount of non-solar rooftop equipment will maximize the available area for installing a solar PV system in the future.

Do you know the code requirements for a PV panel installation?

Frequently, the owner, contractor, or developer does not fully understand the code requirements to ensure the existing structural framing is not compromised by the PV panel installation. Depending on the jurisdiction and current code edition adopted, there may not be specific structural code requirements currently listed.
