A study about the protection of an array of solar panels from the wind load action

Research output: Book chapterConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This work deals with the effect of wind load on solar fields. A set of simulations have been performed to evaluate this effect at different positions in an array of solar panels. The effect of a protection baffle can reduce the wind loads by an order of magnitude.
