Design Snow Loads for Ground Mounted Solar Panels
Design Snow Loads for Ground Mounted Solar Panels addresses the snow load considerations for ground mounted solar panels (GMSP) in the United States, notably in snow-heavy regions. This publication aligns with ASCE Standard 7-22 for roof snow loads, adjusting to factors including exposure, thermal conditions, and slope. The content includes suggested values for service life factors and provides example problems to illustrate the application of these procedures.
