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.
In France, photovoltaic shelters are generally not subject to seismic constraints due to the relatively low risk level and the legal texts that do not always require seismic design for structures that are not strictly buildings in the Eurocodes sense (equivalent to an importance category I).
Isolated roofs, such as photovoltaic shelters, have specific characteristics in terms of wind loading. The obstruction ratio, influenced by the presence of parked cars, is a determining factor in the calculation of overall force coefficients (Cf). A high obstruction ratio leads to a greater uplift effect.
As an alternative, our software PV Shelters performs all these tasks for you. The permanent loads include the weight of the structure, the integration system, the solar panels, the wiring, and the equipment. Suppliers of integration systems such as Adiwatt, Dome Solar, Heliosolaire, offer solutions adapted to roofs.
