The document calculates the horizontal and vertical reaction forces on a solar collector panel based on its specifications and an equilibrium analysis. It lists the masses and forces on the panel, including a 106 kg panel mass and 25 kg additional mass. An equilibrium analysis is done assuming no wind, snow, or flexion to solve for the horizontal and vertical reaction forces on the front and back of the panel, which are 384.6N and 368.5N horizontally and 376.6N vertically at both the front and back.
