Proper structural design must account for dead loads (panel and equipment weight of 30-50 pounds per panel), live loads (maintenance personnel and snow accumulation), wind forces, and seismic activity based on ASCE 7 standards and International Building Code (IBC) requirements.

Modern panels typically withstand 5,400-9,600 Pascals of pressure – equivalent to a 200-pound adult standing on a 3'x5' surface. But how does this translate to real-world performance? Manufacturers follow rigorous testing protocols like IEC 61215 and UL 1703.
