There's essentially one main playbook that most engineers turn to when they're designing solar panel structures: ASCE 7 $^1$, published by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Every piece has to fit with what's already there, or with whatever's being built from scratch. The materials you pick, how you design the setup, how you protect the system. all of it. . The module support (array mounting) structure shall hold the PV module (s). The module (s) shall be mounted either on the rooftop of the house or on a metal pole that can be fixed to the wall of the house or separately in the ground, with the module (s) at least 3 (4) meters off the ground. Minimum. . To promote advancements in the design, procurement, permitting, and construction of solar photovoltaic (PV) ground-mount, canopy, and roof-mounted structural systems. Develop design guides, Manuals of Practice, and standards.
