6 FAQs about [Load of photovoltaic support]

What is the wind load of a PV support?

The wind load is the most significant load when designing a PV support; thus, its value and calculation should be investigated. Different countries have their own specifications and, consequently, equations for the wind loads of PV supports.

How important is wind loading in a photovoltaic module array?

For the case of the photovoltaic module array, it is observed that the wind loading over the leading panels is decisive for the design. According to the numerical results, the central support device is the most critical structural component. Flow over inclined bluff bodies are of particular interest in wind engineering.

Are photovoltaic power generation systems vulnerable to wind loads?

(1) Background: As environmental issues gain more attention, switching from conventional energy has become a recurring theme. This has led to the widespread development of photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems. PV supports, which support PV power generation systems, are extremely vulnerable to wind loads.

How does wind load affect PV panel support?

2. Influencing Factors of Wind Load of PV Panel Support 2.1. Panel Inclination Angle The angle β between the PV panel and the horizontal plane is called the panel inclination (Figure 3). Because of the PV panel’s varying inclination angle, a PV power generation system’s wind load varies, impacting the system’s power generation efficiency. Figure 3.

How does wind load affect PV power generation?

A wind load accelerates the cooling of PV panels, thereby reducing the cell’s temperature and increasing the power generation efficiency for PV power generation. However, the PV panel generates wind-induced vibration due to the wind load, which can damage the system (Figure 12).

Can a solar array support structure withstand a wind load?

Even fixed solar array support structures have sofisticated design, that needs to be analyzed and often improved in order to withstand the wind load. The same applies of course to adjustable designs to an even greater extend. The analysis has to be carried out for many wind directions.
