60 kW Commercial Rooftop Solar, Kirkland Lake
Structural review of an as-built 60 kW rooftop solar array on a commercial building in Kirkland Lake, northern Ontario.
Location
Kirkland Lake, ON
Project type
Solar · Commercial 60 kW
Scope
As-built array review · Roof load checks · Sealed engineering
The project
A solar installer completed a 60 kW PV system, with Solis string inverters, across the flat and metal roofs of a commercial building in Kirkland Lake. Once the array was in place, the installation needed an engineer’s structural review to confirm the roofs could carry it. Northern Ontario sites carry some of the province’s highest snow loads, which makes that check especially important.
What KMG did
Reviewed the as-built array layout across the building’s roof areas
Checked the existing roof structure for the added dead, snow and wind loads under the Ontario Building Code
Reviewed the array’s attachment and ballast approach
Issued sealed engineering confirming the structure for the as-built system
The result
The installer received sealed confirmation that the as-built 60 kW array works with the existing roof structure under northern Ontario snow and wind conditions.
