Photovoltaic panel support wind resistance requirements

6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel support wind resistance requirements]

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.

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 to design a PV support system?

When designing PV support systems, the wind load is the primary load to consider for PV power generation. The amount of the PV wind load is influenced by various elements, such as the panel inclination angle, wind direction angle, body type coefficient, geometric scale, shielding effect, and template gap.

How to calculate solar panel wind load?

The wind calculations can all be performed using SkyCiv Load Generator for ASCE 7-16 (solar panel wind load calculator). Users can enter the site location to get the wind speed and terrain data, enter the solar panel parameters and generate the design wind pressures.

How to reduce wind load of PV support structure?

It is also necessary to reasonably increase the template gap and reduce the ground clearance in order to reduce the wind load of the PV support structure, enhance the wind resistance of the PV support structure, and improve the safety and reliability of the PV support structure. 2.7. Other Factors
