I build off grid mobile solar systems for a living for RVs, Vans, Skoolies and Tiny homes.
You don't need a structural engineering report for these types of installations.
However, I have decided to take my own home off grid and it is in town and I will do all the work myself.
The city I live in requires a Structural Engineering report for roof mounted solar panels. No other permits are needed.
I want to do this myself and rather then pay $1000 to $2000 for the report if I can. Plus after I learn how to do this I can then offer this as a service.
That being said does anyone know of any resources I can dig into to learn how to do this or if you have done it yourself I would love to pick your brain.
Beside solar I also own a residential development company and have a long history of building and construction to go along with solar.
So I do have the skill set needed. I just need a nudge in the right direction.
Thanks
