ENGINEERING
The extensive growth of the solar industry in the past five years has brought an increasing number of solar installation companies, as well as changing in technology and product advancements. The industry development and change has created an increased need for professional engineering services. That is why we are excited to announce the expansion of the UMA Solar Engineering Department. Many municipalities require certifications, structural, and electrical stamped engineering for residential and commercial solar installations, and as the industry continues to grow UMA Solar continues to grow and develop new platforms to assist our existing dealers.
UMA’s experienced team of engineers are certified and licensed in the State of Florida with detailed knowledge of local jurisdiction and state code requirements. Our headquarters is based in Orlando, FL and we are extremely experienced in designing structural attachments for equipment in regions with high winds.

OUR PROCESS
1. Client starts by filling out a digital, online engineering request form with project specific details made easy with our site survey assistance tools.
2. UMA Solar engineers respond quickly as possible with questions, requests for additional information, and potential engineering assistance from the start to help expedite the project and potentially save money.
3. Once all the decisions have been communicated, the project engineer will get to work — putting the plans and drawings together! When completed, the client will receive a digital copy prior to stamps for review and final approval. Every completed project will be checked prior to shipping or emailing stamped drawings and calculations.
4. It is our goal to design field ready plans, that are easily understood, clear to follow and not confusing for the contractor
5. Majority of projects can be completed and returned for approval within a matter of days.
* Any additional fees, changes, or additions will be discussed with the client for approval prior to invoicing.
