STAAD Pro Report and Calculations for Solar Structures
STAAD Pro report and structural calculations for EPCs and installers who need solar mounting systems checked against wind, dead and seismic loads.
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
Precision Structural Analysis for Solar Mounting Systems
A STAAD Pro report shows that a solar mounting structure can carry its design loads. Heaven Designs uses STAAD Pro, a widely used structural analysis package, to check every member against the project's wind, dead and seismic loads and the applicable code.
We model rooftop and ground mount structures, from small MS frames to MW-scale tables on uneven terrain. The aim is a section that is safe without carrying steel it does not need.

HOW IT WORKS
How We Prepare a Solar STAAD Pro Report
A STAAD Pro report is only as good as its inputs. We start from the approved array layout, the structure type (MS or GI, rooftop or ground mount) and the site location, which sets the basic wind speed, terrain category and seismic zone.
- Inputs: layout, module and structure details, site location, and soil notes when foundations are in scope.
- Load cases: dead load, wind to IS 875 Part 3 (or ASCE 7 on US projects) and seismic to IS 1893, combined as the code requires.
- Model and check: members, connections and supports are modelled, unity ratios are reviewed, and sections are optimised.
- Report and drawings: the analysis report, structural drawings and a steel BOM for procurement.
For the method behind the report, read our STAAD Pro modelling guide for solar structures, the walkthrough on modelling pile foundations in STAAD Pro, and what lenders expect from a STAAD report. Projects that mix Indian and US codes should also see the ASCE 7-22 vs IS 875 wind load comparison.
STAAD reports often ship as part of a wider package: see solar civil and structural engineering, ground mount design and rooftop detailed engineering.
