How it Works: Requesting Engineering Services
- Submit a Request: Use our online RFQ form to specify your project needs (SSM or full plan set) and include your project-specific information. We offer comprehensive engineering services for ground mount, rooftop, and add-ons like battery systems.
- Payment Link: Engineering services will begin as soon as prepayment is made. (Pricing is based on kW system size.)
- Site-Specific Engineering: A licensed professional engineer will do the structural calculations to ensure the racking system works with the panel and tilt angle for your site.
- Get Status Updates: Receive email notifications as we prepare your engineering documents.
- Receive Engineering Documents: Standard SSMs and construction drawings are delivered within 24 hours, and full plan sets within 48 hours.
- On-Demand Support: Our team of licensed engineers is available throughout the entire process to provide local AHJ support, including post-install letters (PILs), final affidavits (FAs), and letters of compliance (LOCs).
Note: Racking and load requirements outside the Osprey PowerRACK’s standard capacity chart are considered “complex” and subject to longer wait times.
