Kings Mobile Welding
As the solar industry continues to expand, installation contractors are under increasing pressure to deliver high-quality, efficient work while keeping projects on schedule. Whether you’re installing rooftop systems, ground-mounted solar farms, or commercial flat-roof arrays, partnering with a mobile welder can make all the difference.
At Kings Mobile Welding, we bring AWS D1.1-certified structural welding, on-site fabrication, and steel repair directly to your jobsite—helping solar contractors across Hampton Roads, Newport News, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, and surrounding regions keep their operations running smoothly.
Why Solar Installers Need On-Site Welding Expertise
Solar installation isn’t just about panels and wiring—it’s also about strong, reliable support structures. Here’s where a certified mobile welder becomes essential:
- Custom Mounting Frames & Retrofits – Older buildings or unique roof pitches often require tailored steel brackets or modified racking systems that need professional on-site welding.
- Structural Repairs & Reinforcement – Corroded steel, damaged supports, or unexpected conditions discovered mid-install can be repaired immediately with mobile welding—no waiting for off-site work.
- On-Site Fabrication – When last-minute design changes arise, a mobile welder can fabricate custom brackets, platforms, or supports right at the jobsite.
- Torch Cutting & Removal – Removing outdated frames or damaged steel safely clears the way for new solar installations.
- Code-Compliant Structural Welds – With AWS D1.1 certification, every weld meets the required strength and inspection standards demanded in commercial and industrial projects.
How Mobile Welding Helps Solar Contractors Stay Efficient
| Common Challenge | Mobile Welding Solution |
|---|---|
| Site-specific adjustments or surprises | Rapid on-site fabrication eliminates downtime. |
| Damaged or corroded steel supports | Immediate repairs keep projects moving. |
| Non-standard geometry on roofs or grounds | Custom-fit steel brackets welded on-site. |
| Tight deadlines | On-call mobile welding means no waiting for shop fabrication. |
| Safety or inspection concerns | Certified AWS D1.1 welds ensure code compliance and structural integrity. |
According to recent solar-industry studies, installers face mounting delays due to unforeseen site conditions and structural complexities. Having an on-call mobile welder bridges that gap—keeping your project compliant, on schedule, and fully supported.
Partnering Effectively with a Mobile Welder
To make the most of your partnership, follow these best practices:
- Share Plans Early – Provide structural drawings and racking layouts ahead of time.
- Coordinate Access – Ensure there’s space for welding trucks, generators, and cables near the work area.
- Schedule Early in the Build – Welding often needs to happen before racking or roofing installation.
- Prepare for Change Orders – Solar installs often uncover unknowns—agree on terms ahead of time.
- Maintain Documentation – Keep photos, weld logs, and inspection records for quality assurance.
