Design and Construction of Solar PV Structures, MOP 162, offers extensive guidance on the design, development, construction, and maintenance of solar PV structures, including ground-mounted, rooftop, elevated, and floating systems. By consolidating best practices and lessons learned, this book responds to the lack of formal solar PV design guidance, promotes reliable, innovative design, and supports the continued growth of clean energy generation.

Topics include

• Design loads;
• Corrosion;
• Structural design;
• Foundation design; and
• Construction quality assurance, quality control, and commissioning.

MOP 162 serves as a foundational resource for structural and geotechnical engineers, solar developers and contractors, manufacturers, and other stakeholders involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of solar PV structures and focused on supporting the industry’s growth and innovation in clean energy generation.
