Engineering Disclaimer

Draft. This document is a draft prepared by the Solispec development team and is under review by a lawyer. It is not yet in force. Translations are provided for convenience; if a translation differs from the English version, the English version prevails.

Preliminary calculations

The calculation is preliminary. A qualified engineer must check it before installation.

Solispec helps you prepare preliminary designs and calculations for solar PV mounting structures and plants. It does not replace a design prepared or approved by a qualified engineer.

Codes and inputs

• For projects in Ukraine, Solispec applies DBN V.1.2-2:2006 together with the Eurocodes.
• For other countries, it applies the Eurocodes with the snow and wind values that you enter.

The results depend on the data entered, including location, loads, dimensions, components and site conditions. Local rules, national annexes, ground conditions and the condition of an existing building may require additional checks that the Service does not perform.

Your responsibility

You remain the responsible designer. Before anything is manufactured or installed, you must:

1. check that all inputs are correct and complete;
2. have the design and calculation checked by a qualified engineer;
3. make sure the project complies with the codes, permits and rules that apply at the site.

Reports, once available, will contain an engineer sign-off block (name, licence or certificate number, date, signature) to record this check.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damage resulting from designs, manufacture or installation that were not checked by a qualified engineer, or from incorrect inputs. This does not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury, for gross negligence or intent, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law. See the Terms of Service.
