Solar Surveys is an independent structural engineering consultancy. We specialise in commercial and industrial solar PV, and undertake other structures as required.

Before an array goes on a roof, we answer one question: can the structure carry it, safely, for the design life of the system?

Services: on-site structural surveys and Eurocode roof loading appraisals; drone roof condition surveys; desktop structural roof loading reports; electrical design and G99/G98 grid connection support; planning support; and letters of reliance. Every report is engineer-signed and delivered to a 48-hour benchmark from the completed survey.

We work across the full range, from single-roof sub-50 kWp installations through to multi-megawatt commercial portfolios, UK-wide and Europe.

Standards: BS EN 1990, BS EN 1991-1-3 (snow) and BS EN 1991-1-4 (wind) with the relevant National Annexes, BRE Digest 489, and MCS MIS 3002 V6.0 for in-scope work. Irish work is assessed to the Irish National Annexes and TGD Part A. Same for other European nations with their own set of codes.

Insurance: £5m Professional Indemnity and £25m drone Public Liability.
