The Problem

The solar industry is a fast-paced environment where quick turnaround times for designs and estimates are essential. Especially for growing companies such as Sandbox Solar, the need to scale up and automate engineering blockages is critical. Sandbox Solar contacted SkyCiv to create a custom calculator to enable the company to conduct rooftop solar structural calculations in-house, saving overhead costs and speeding up design times by expediting the process of reviewing and approving designs.

The Solution

SkyCiv offers custom solutions based on our Quick Design module for Sandbox Solar, enabling the company to input specific customer project parameters for each residential rooftop situation. The tool utilizes structural engineering calculations for each scenario and presents the results with a Sandbox Solar letterhead. From this letterhead, the company can confirm the roofs’ capacity to support additional solar panels and subsequently submit them, stamped and ready, to the building departments for approval.
