Design and Construction of Solar PV Structures

Sponsored by the Solar PV Structures Committee of the Technical Community Executive Committee of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE

Design and Construction of Solar PV Structures, MOP 162, offers extensive guidance on the design, development, construction, and maintenance of solar PV structures, including ground-mounted, rooftop, elevated, and floating systems. By consolidating best practices and lessons learned, this book responds to the lack of formal solar PV design guidance, promotes reliable, innovative design, and supports the continued growth of clean energy generation.

Topics include

Design loads;
Corrosion;
Structural design;
Foundation design; and
Construction quality assurance, quality control, and commissioning.
