If you’re installing a rooftop solar system in California, most jurisdictions will require a solar plan set and structural calculations before issuing permits. At AES, we do not install or sell solar equipment. Instead, we focus on providing fast, accurate, and permit-ready documentation designed to pass city plan check the first time.

Solar Plan Set and Structural Calculations: Why It Matters

A complete solar plan set includes detailed layouts, electrical diagrams, and specifications for all components. More importantly, California building departments require signed and stamped structural calculations to ensure your roof can support the additional weight and withstand wind uplift from the solar array.

Whether you’re constructing a new building or retrofitting an existing one, AES delivers turnkey documentation trusted by engineers, plan reviewers, and city inspectors across California.

FAQ: Solar Plan Set and Structural Calculations

  1. What is a solar plan set?
    A detailed set of drawings and documentation required for permit submission, including layout, electrical wiring, and component specifications.
  2. Why are structural calculations required?
    To ensure the roof can safely support the added weight of solar panels and comply with wind and seismic requirements.
  3. Who mandates these documents?
    All California building departments require stamped structural calcs and solar plan sets for rooftop solar installations.
  4. How long does it take to get these documents?
    AES typically delivers full documentation within 2 to 4 business days.
  5. Are structural calcs needed for every home?
    Yes. Each building has unique load conditions and requires a custom engineering analysis.
  6. Is Title 24 documentation included?
    Yes, when applicable. We include energy code documentation if your project falls under Title 24 jurisdiction.
  7. Will AES stamp the structural calculations?
    Yes. We work with licensed structural engineers who stamp the documents for city submission.
  8. Do you handle ground-mounted solar systems?
    Yes. We prepare structural and electrical documentation for both rooftop and ground-mounted solar systems.
  9. Can I reuse the same plans on multiple homes?
    No. Each site requires its own structural review and calculations based on the specific building’s design.
  10. Does this help with solar tax credits?
    Yes. Most rebates and incentives require city-approved plans and documentation.
  11. What if my plans are rejected?
    AES will revise and resubmit the documents quickly, at no additional charge.
  12. Do I need a licensed contractor to use AES plans?
    No. Our plans can be submitted by the property owner, contractor, or architect handling the project.
  13. Are your engineers based in California?
    Yes. We work with engineers familiar with California-specific building codes and Title 24 standards.
  14. Do solar battery systems require additional engineering?
    Sometimes. We’ll review and include battery systems in the plan set when required by the city.
  15. Can AES consult with my solar installer?
    Yes. We frequently work with contractors and solar companies to ensure documentation accuracy.
  16. Is AES a solar installer?
    No. AES only provides consulting, documentation, structural calculations, and Title 24 reporting.
  17. Can I expedite my order?
    Yes. Rush service is available upon request for tight project deadlines.
  18. What file types do you provide?
    You will receive PDF versions ready for digital or printed submission.
