The structures developed to support solar panels, which permit solar modules to be placed and protected in different geographies, requires advanced engineering. Structures vary: rooftop structures frequently are composed of light-weight aluminum or steel to prevent overloading the roof and utilize ballast or clamping systems for stability, while ground structures employ robust steel or concrete foundations to endure high wind conditions and severe weather; and carport structures serve as shelters for vehicles while also supporting solar panels. Certain notable capabilities include design for wind loads (up to 160 km/h), snow load capacity (up to 1.2 kN/m²), and minor corrosion resistance (powder coated finishes). In order to promote greater green design, some structures integrate EV charging stations, lighting, or rainwater harvesting systems. Meeting international codes for building design together with panel manufacturer guarantees warranties provide dependability across all use cases.
