4 FAQs about Tracking photovoltaic support structure parts

Does a tracking photovoltaic support system have vibrational characteristics?

In this study, field instrumentation was used to assess the vibrational characteristics of a selected tracking photovoltaic support system. Using ANSYS software, a modal analysis and finite element model of the structure were developed and validated by comparing measured data with model predictions. Key findings are as follows.

What are the structural components of a photovoltaic tracking support system?

The structural components of the photovoltaic tracking support system studied in this paper include photovoltaic panels and supporting elements. Photovoltaic modules are made of composite materials, such as Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) or Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP).

How stiff is a tracking photovoltaic support system?

Because the support structure of the tracking photovoltaic support system has a long extension length and the components are D-shaped hollow steel pipes, the overall stiffness of the structure was found to be low, and the first three natural frequencies were between 2.934 and 4.921.

Does a tracking photovoltaic support system have finite element analysis?

In terms of finite element analysis, Wittwer et al., obtained modal parameters of the tracking photovoltaic support system with finite element analysis, and the results are similar to those of this study, indicating that the natural frequencies of the structure remain largely unchanged.
