4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Mechanical structure of photovoltaic support - Shore Power Energy”
What is a PV support structure?
Support structures are the foundation of PV modules and directly affect the operational safety and construction investment of PV power plants. A good PV support structure can significantly reduce construction and maintenance costs. In addition, PV modules are susceptible to turbulence and wind gusts, so wind load is the control load of PV modules.
What is flexible support photovoltaic module system?
Flexible support photovoltaic module system: (a) the single-layer cable-supported photovoltaic module system, (b) the double-layer cable-supported photovoltaic module system. Recently, the author proposed the cable-truss support photovoltaic module structure system with excellent wind resistance and economic performance.
What are the loads acting on photovoltaic supports?
Based on design information and on-site observations, the loads acting on photovoltaic supports primarily include the weight of the photovoltaic panels, the wind load, the snow load, and the construction load. Additionally, the Chinese code NB/T 10115-2018 mandates the consideration of the longitudinal wind load on photovoltaic supports.
Do photovoltaic supports have a design load and joint connection?
Based on a typical photovoltaic support failure case, this study involved detailed research on the design load and joint connection measures of photovoltaic supports. First, the general design software SAP2000 (V22.0.0) was utilized to compare the loads in photovoltaic support structure design among Chinese, American, and European codes.
