Solar Energy Department:
Give us a call:1(705) 325-5400The Solar Energy Department of Steenhof Building Services Group (SBSG) is managed by Jack Steenhof, M.A.Sc., P.Eng. This department in conjunction with Field Services specializes in performing structural assessments of existing facilities that are interested in installing roof top solar equipment. Each facility is visited and documented using a Total Station and AutoCAD software. The Engineers in the Solar department utilize data from the site review and existing building drawings to determine if there is an excess structural capacity in the roof system. Once the capacity is determined, the engineers calculate the number of panels and kilowatts that may be installed on the roof top, taking into consideration, tilt angle, shadow areas, and miscellaneous roof top obstructions.
Steenhof Building Services Group has preformed these assessments for over 450 facilities in Ontario.
SBSG assists with the design and development of the racking systems to support several unique configurations of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules.
With the help of our partners and many products, we are working towards a variety of innovative solutions to continue creating a Green World.
