How does wind load affect photovoltaic panels?

The wind load on the photovoltaic panel array is sensitive to wind speed, wind direction, turbulence intensity, and the parameters of the solar photovoltaic panel structure. Many researchers have carried out experimental and numerical simulation analyses on the wind load of photovoltaic panel arrays. Table 1.

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 pressure affect a front-row photovoltaic panel?

Pressure distribution along the solar panel profile line. In addition to SP1 being subjected to the main wind load, the wind pressure attenuation of the rest of array a is obvious. Hence, the structure needs to focus on strengthening the structural strength of the front-row photovoltaic panels.

What is the wind loading over a solar PV panel system?

Jubayer and Hangan (2014) carried out 3D Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations to study the wind loading over a ground mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) panel system with a 25 ° tilt angle. They found that in terms of forces and overturning moments, 45 °, 135 ° and 180 ° represents the critical wind directions.

Do Floating photovoltaic systems sink or overturn?

Floating photovoltaic systems have been installed around the world as solar energy is powerful renewable energy source, but they can sink or overturn depending on harsh environmental conditions. Analyzing the wind load on a solar panel array is important for designing an appropriate supporting structure for floating photovoltaic systems.

How does wind load affect a floating PV system?

Effect of wind loads on the solar panel array of a floating PV system: (a) forward direction, and (b) backward direction. Furthermore, many studies simply measured the local pressure distributions, however, they have limitation that they could not suggest the better options on the economic aspect.
