Photovoltaic Substructures

We develop

We develop web-based applications and Windows programs for the design of substructures of photovoltaic systems. In addition to the static-structural components based on various globally applicable standards, a price calculation can be carried out including all system components. This way, it is possible to plan from a geometric and static point of view as well as to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the application.

Our dimensioning is not limited to flat roofs, but also includes other roof shapes such as gable roofs, monopitch roofs or hipped roofs. In addition, wind and snow load calculations can be carried out. This ensures the optimized distribution of the necessary ballast according to wind tunnel reports and the optimized distribution of the necessary fasteners (for the provision of static verifications).
