How to Calculate Solar Rail Feet on a Commercial Solar System, Running Parallel to the Rib

In past presentations we have looked at solar panel rail framing from the perspective of parallel to the rib and perpendicular, examining how we calculate the amount of rail and minimise wastage.

In this presentation, we look at putting together a simple spreadsheet that calculates the number of feet required for a rail run that is perpendicular to the rail.

Rail feet placing is determined by an engineering based on wind loads, roof height and other criteria and this determines max spacing but when running rail perpendicular to the rib the final spacing is also determined by the space between the ribs, centre to centre.

Enjoy.
