Structural Surveys and Structural Design
for Solar Panels
Solar Panel Structural Surveys
With over 25 years of engineering experience, JMS provides reliable, cost-effective structural surveys and calculations for solar panel installations. We work with energy companies, developers, and contractors across the UK, helping assess existing structures and prepare them for renewable upgrades.
Structural Surveys for Solar Panel Installations
JMS delivers practical, site-specific assessments for commercial and industrial properties. Our engineers inspect roof structures, canopies, and building frameworks to determine their capacity for solar panel installations, ensuring compliance with current building regulations and safety standards.
Structural Calculations for Additional Loads
Before installation, we calculate the additional loads introduced by solar panels and mounting systems. Whether the structure is steel, timber, or concrete, we ensure every element is designed or verified to accommodate the added weight and wind uplift, maintaining safety and long-term performance.
Retrofitting Existing Buildings
Many of our projects involve retrofitting solar systems to existing buildings. JMS provides solutions that integrate clean energy technology without compromising structural integrity - adapting older roofs and structures for modern energy demands.
Supporting the Renewable Sector
Having worked alongside energy companies across Suffolk, Norfolk, Hertfordshire and Essex we understand the practical requirements of renewable energy installations. Our team supports solar contractors through clear reporting, responsive communication, and fast turnaround on calculations.
Structural Engineering Consultancy Services
With over 25 years of experience in structures, JMS knows that no two projects are the same. We don’t believe in ‘one size fits all’ solutions, and our flexible approach ensures we find the right answer for every challenge. Whether it’s addressing a crack in a building or designing the foundations for a 10-storey block, we bring expertise in all types of structures.
Clients trust us to deliver, and we take pride in seeing projects through to successful completion, ensuring every structure meets their needs.
