F = qs x Cp, net x Ca x Aref
But what i don't understand, is what to do with the number at the end.
Do i look in say a schuco mounting rail...

Hi,
Just been out to quote a job and the client is wanting to fill his roof with pv panels and cover 3 velux windows completely. Is it possible to cover all the velux windows? The client said he has had a quote already and they confirmed it was ok to cover them.

Wind farms operators were paid £900,000 by the National Grid to disconnect their turbines for one night because the electricity was not needed.
The payments, worth up to 20 times the value of the power they would have produced, raises serious concerns about such subsidies, which are paid for...
Hi,
Does anyone use any software for wind load calculations. If so how do you use the information to ensure the additional wind load is ok for the structure. I have seen other people use structural engineers but does anyone do it themselves and how.
It is ok to say a building (domestic) of...
