How to Design Ground Mount Solar Structure in SketchUp 2PX28 Table & BOQ Guide

Learn step-by-step how to design a 2P x 28 fixed-tilt ground-mount solar mounting structure (MMS) in SketchUp from scratch, and prepare an accurate Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for material estimation. In this tutorial, we cover the complete 3D modeling workflow for utility-scale solar projects—including structural components like piles, columns, rafters, purlins, and bracings (Galvalume & HDG sections)—along with array placement for 56 solar panels. 📌 What You Will Learn in This Video: Detailed breakdown of ground-mount solar structure components (Column, Rafter, Purlin, Bracing) Step-by-step 3D modeling technique in SketchUp using components & arrays How to align 2P (Portrait) solar panel arrays across a 28-module table length How to calculate and generate a professional Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for steel members 🛠️ Tools & Software Used: Trimble SketchUp Excel / Spreadsheet for BOQ 🔔 Subscribe for more tutorials on Solar Design, PVsyst, AutoCAD, and 3D Structural Modeling! 💬 Have questions about section sizes?
