Structural & geotechnical engineering
KOX Energy delivers the structural and geotechnical engineering behind utility-scale photovoltaic projects: design basis, site studies, foundations and load reports built to stand up to wind, seismic forces and time.
What we do
A photovoltaic plant is only as reliable as the structure that carries it. Developers, EPCs and asset owners rely on KOX Energy for the work that happens before a single pile goes into the ground.
With more than five years in the energy sector, we supply the specialized studies, design criteria and signed documentation that turn a promising site into a project that can be financed, built and certified with confidence.
Capabilities
The parameters, structural criteria and load reports every photovoltaic project is built on.
Open 02Wind and earthquake load determination, structural analysis and racking system design.
Open 03Site-specific wind data translated into correctly sized steel support profiles.
Open 04Ground-motion and seismic load analysis for arrays that ride out earthquakes.
Open 05Analysis and design of the tables that carry fixed and tracking solar panels.
Open 06Signed, code-compliant structural calculation documentation ready for approval.
OpenUtility-scale solar
The opportunity
Latin America holds some of the best solar resource on earth, and some of its most challenging terrain and seismic conditions. Getting utility-scale plants built here takes engineering that respects the site.
of photovoltaic capacity installed across Latin America in 2024 alone, 4.4% of the global total.

New: agrovoltaics
The future is sharing the land, not competing for it. Agrovoltaics generates solar power and grows crops on the same site, and we engineer both sides of that balance (solar, agronomic, structural, electrical, environmental and financial) so a project is viable from day one.
