Are ground mounting steel frames suitable for PV solar power plant projects?

In the photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant projects, PV solar panel (SP) support structure is one of the main elements and limited numerical studies exist on PVSP ground mounting steel frames to be a research gap that has not be addressed adequately in the literature.

Which stent is used in a solar photovoltaic power station project?

Abstract. In the solar photovoltaic power station project, PV support is one of the main structures, and fixed photovoltaic PV support is one of the most commonly used stents.

What are the requirements for photovoltaic support design?

According to the design requirements of power station, in the photovoltaic support design process, the array structure strength should meet the environmental requirements, such as the wind load 1.05 kN/m2, the snow load 0.89 kN/m2, and the basic parameters were shown in table 1.

What is needed to design a PV support structure?

More study is also needed for Elevated PV Support Structures. A wind pressure design method is needed. The flexibility of PV panels and the structures themselves must be better understood. Research by the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) formed the basis for key provisions of ASCE 7-16.

What is the main goal of lightweight design of photovoltaic support?

The overall scheme of photovoltaic support structure and the type of section of the main profile were determined, and reducing the amount of aluminum material of the photovoltaic support was the main goal of lightweight design, under the premise of ensuring the structural strength of the photovoltaic support.

What is the structural load of solar panels?

The structural load of solar panels refers to the weight and forces a solar system exerts on a building or structure. This can include the weight of the panels, mounting system, and other related equipment, as well as additional loads from wind, snow, or seismic activity.
