Structural engineering makes sure a roof, ground-mount, or equipment support can safely carry the loads a solar or storage system adds. Pure Power's structural services include rooftop structure review, new solar and storage structure design, electrical equipment foundation design, utility pole design, and reinforcement solutions. The team draws on over 70 years of collective structural experience, and will conduct site surveys and analysis when existing project data isn't sufficient.

A structural review determines whether your roof can handle the added weight and forces of a solar system, and identifies any modifications needed. Pure Power performs on-site rooftop evaluations to confirm solar feasibility, assess racking compatibility, and facilitate approval from the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) or a third-party reviewer. If the structure isn't ready as-is, the team can design reinforcements to make it work.

Yes. Pure Power designs foundations for pads, skids, transformers, switchgear, and other ground-mounted equipment, using solutions such as concrete pads and steel piles to support a range of loads. The firm also handles utility pole design with poles, guy wires, and anchors engineered for extreme loading conditions. These foundations keep critical electrical equipment stable and code-compliant over the life of the project.

Structures deemed unfeasible can often still host solar with the right reinforcement. Pure Power develops reinforcement solutions that address load constraints, code requirements, and third-party review, enabling solar on structures that initially couldn't accommodate it. This can turn a "no" into a buildable project without starting over.

Pure Power provides structural engineering for commercial and industrial rooftop systems, utility-scale ground-mounted installations, solar carports, battery energy storage systems, and community solar projects. With 130+ in-house engineers, including 58+ experienced project managers and professional engineers, the firm can turn around complex structural work quickly.
