The photovoltaic (PV) panels currently existed on market are laminated plate structures, which are composed of two stiff glass skins and a soft interlayer. Some panels are installed on the buildings and integrated as the components of the structures, such as wall and roof.
Solar photovoltaic structures are affected by many kinds of loads such as static loads and wind loads. Static loads takes place when physical loads like weight or force put into it but wind loads occurs when severe wind force like hurricanes or typhoons drift around the PV panel.
The design of solar panel supporting structure is done and the effects of wind force on its structure stability is analysed. Due to the wind force, a reaction force is experienced on the structure and the structure will retain its stable state, only if this reaction force is compensated by the force due the self-weight of the structure.
In order to ensure proper functioning of the PV panel a precise identification of wind load is required. The Romanian code in this case will be very much helpful to identify the wind loads on PV panel. To evaluate the wind pressure, this code can be applied over the mono-pitched canopies.
