6 FAQs about [Calculation of wind protection for photovoltaic support foundation]

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 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

What is the wind vibration coefficient of flexible PV support structure?

The wind vibration coefficients in different zones under the wind pressure or wind suction are mostly between 2.0 and 2.15. Compared with the experimental results, the current Chinese national standards are relatively conservative in the equivalent static wind loads of flexible PV support structure. 1. Introduction

Can solar panels be used to calculate wind load?

Two recognized techniques for the determination of wind loads on structures—such as solar panels—were introduced by Banks in the United States. Meanwhile, Zhao et al. conducted a comparative analysis of the most widely used Chinese, American, European, and Japanese codes for PV wind load calculation methods.

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 wind induced vibration response of flexible PV support structure?

Aeroelastic model wind tunnel tests The wind-induced vibration response of flexible PV support structure under different cases was studied by using aeroelastic model for wind tunnel test, including different tilt angles of PV modules, different initial force of cables, and different wind speeds.
