Roof structures that support photovoltaic panel systems shall be designed to resist each of the following conditions: 1. Applicable uniform and concentrated roof loads with the photovoltaic panel system dead loads.
The structure of a roof that supports solar photovoltaic panels or modules shall be designed to accommodate the full solar photovoltaic panels or modules and ballast dead load, including concentrated loads from support frames in combination with the loads from Section CS507.1.1.1 (IBC 1607.13.5.1) and other applicable loads.
The structural load of solar panels refers to the weight and forces a solar system exerts on a building or structure. This can include the weight of the panels, mounting system, and other related equipment, as well as additional loads from wind, snow, or seismic activity.
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.
Solar photovoltaic panels or modules that are independent structures and do not have accessible/occupied space underneath are not required to accommodate a roof photovoltaic live load, provided the area under the structure is restricted to keep the public away.
More study is also needed for Elevated PV Support Structures. A wind pressure design method is needed. The flexibility of PV panels and the structures themselves must be better understood. Research by the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) formed the basis for key provisions of ASCE 7-16.
