Stamped Structural Pergola Solar Plans

The job is straightforward: I need a set of structural drawings—complete with load calculations—and a professional engineering stamp that is valid for Texas. The pergola already stands on-site here in the United States (specifically Texas), and my solar contractor cannot proceed until we can prove, on paper, that the structure will safely support the new PV array.

What I can supply you right away are clear photos, detailed measurements, and notes on the panel layout and weight distribution. From these, you will create:

• Structural drawings of the existing pergola (plan, elevation, and any required connection details)
• Load analysis showing the additional weight and uplift from the solar system plus local wind codes
• A final sheet bearing your Texas PE stamp confirming the design meets current Texas building code and will hold up the solar system

Please base your work on the information I provide, let me know if you need anything extra, and outline any key assumptions you make in the calculations. My solar installation timeline is tight, so an efficient turnaround—and a stamp that the local permit office will accept—is essential.
