Structural Engineers for Solar Projects

We offer in-house structural engineering services for both residential and commercial projects.

RESIDENTIAL

For residential projects, we do the structural assessment after the array is planned out, so we determine if the roof can support the array. Local loading conditions like snow, wind, and seismic activity are included in the analysis.

Commercial

For commercial projects, we do the assessment before the array is planned out, so we first determine how much additional loading the structure can support (which can be much greater than a standard array). After the array is planned out, we do a second review for the array specifically. Local loading conditions like snow, wind, and seismic activity are included in the analysis.

Our structural engineers can also provide ballasting reviews and HVAC structural assessments.

Our Process

At Exactus Energy, we don’t just offer services—we offer solutions built to make life easier for solar installers and contractors. From that first site visit to a permit-ready package in hand, we’ve got it covered. Every step. Done right. And done fast.

But here’s what really makes us different: flexibility. Not every project needs the full suite. Some need just the structural assessment. Others need engineering drawings. Some just need help checking all the right regulatory boxes. So, instead of bundling everything, we let you pick only what you need.

We offer all of it à la carte. No fluff. No extra costs. Just exactly what your project requires to stay on track and on budget. That means more control for you, faster permitting timelines, and less wasted time or money chasing down paperwork you never needed in the first place. It’s expert support—tailored to fit, not forced to fit.

Because the best kind of help is the kind that meets you where you are—and gets you where you’re going, faster.

 

Site survey/Initial assessment

The engineer assesses the project scope, including the type of solar project (residential or commercial. Then, one of our site technicians goes out to the project address and assesses the site conditions, existing structures, and any specific requirements or constraints.

Design Phase

Our engineers take the data collected from our drone and 3D modeling tools and turn it into a detailed roof plan and panel layout—built for accuracy from the start. Every design is fine-tuned based on real-world factors like shading, local building and fire codes, and anything else that could affect the install.

Engineering Calculations and Drawings

Every project is different, and the engineer treats it that way. Instead of relying on one-size-fits- all templates, they build each structural and electrical package from the ground up—carefully, thoughtfully, and with a sharp eye for detail. The result? Plans that actually match the real-world needs of the project, not just what’s on paper.

 
 

Professional Engineer Review and Stamp

As a licensed PE, the engineer takes a close look at what’s already there—calculations, drawings, specs—all of it. Their job? Make sure it checks out. That it lines up with current codes, safety rules, and industry standards. It’s not just a box to tick. It’s making sure everything holds up before things move forward.

Client Support

The engineer’s more than just a name on a drawing—they’re someone you can actually rely on as the project moves forward. They don’t disappear after the first draft. They check in, talk things through, and make sure everything clicks. Sometimes that means hopping on a quick call to answer a question. Other times, it’s helping sort out how the design might shift things for the building itself. Whatever it is, their job is to keep it simple. No confusion. No stress. Just clear answers and steady support, so the whole thing feels a little less overwhelming.
