Open-source tool to eliminate redundant engineering costs in rooftop PV deployment

Researchers in Canada have developed an open-access online tool that reportedly helps homeowners achieve considerable savings in deploying rooftop PV systems. The tool is claimed to offer accurate structural engineering calculations while ensuring compliance with building codes. Researchers from Canada's Western University have created an open-source online tool to streamline the engineering analysis process for the deployment of a rooftop PV system. "The tool could be easily adapted to other countries," the research's lead author, Joshua M. Pearce, told pv magazine. "The snow loads in Canada ...
