Structural Analysis of Photovoltaic Structures
Structural engineering for safe and efficient solar systems
We specialize in the structural analysis of photovoltaic systems, both rooftop and ground-mounted. We design and verify support structures that ensure the stability, durability, and safety of solar installations against wind, snow, and self-weight loads.
Structural analysis tailored to each type of installation.
We combine advanced structural analysis, CFD simulations, and regulatory compliance (CTE, Eurocodes) to deliver solutions tailored to each type of installation, ensuring a long service life and optimal performance of the photovoltaic system.
Rooftop structures
We design anchoring and support structures for pitched, flat, and industrial roofs. We analyze the loads transferred to the building and verify the resistance of the existing roof, ensuring overall safety and compliance with urban planning and regulatory requirements.

We design foundations, mounting frames, and support structures for ground-mounted solar installations, optimizing the design to withstand wind loads and terrain variations. We adapt the structural analysis to the system type (fixed or solar tracking) and the local site conditions.

Aluminum or steel supports and anchors
We carry out the design and verification of profiles, joints, and mechanical components of photovoltaic systems, ensuring material compatibility and maximum structural efficiency with reduced weight and cost.
Request a quoteWind simulations to ensure safety
We complement the structural analysis with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations that allow us to study the aerodynamic behavior of panels and structures under different wind directions and intensities.
These simulations are essential for:
Prevent structural failures caused by dynamic loads.
Defining reinforcements and optimal distances between modules.
Validating safety and stability before execution.
Wind flow lines over solar panels
Wind flow lines over panels
Wind flow lines over panels

During the wind study, wind speed is measured at different heights and directions. Historical data and seasonal patterns are also analyzed to understand the typical wind conditions at the project site.
The results of the wind study help engineers determine the appropriate height and type of mounting structures to withstand the wind conditions at the project site. They are also used to estimate the expected energy production and optimize the layout of the solar panels for maximum efficiency.
A wind study helps identify potential risks such as damage to infrastructure caused by extreme wind conditions, and assists in designing stronger structures to prevent catastrophic failures.
