4 FAQs about Flat single-axis photovoltaic support main beam

What are the dynamic characteristics of photovoltaic support systems?

Key findings are as follows. Dynamic characteristics of tracking photovoltaic support systems obtained through field modal testing at various inclinations, revealing three torsional modes within the 2.9–5.0 Hz frequency range, accompanied by relatively small modal damping ratios ranging from 1.07 % to 2.99 %.

How many pillars does a photovoltaic support system have?

The tracking photovoltaic support system consisted of 10 pillars (including 1 drive pillar), one axis bar, 11 shaft rods, 52 photovoltaic panels, 54 photovoltaic support purlins, driving devices and 9 sliding bearings, and also includes the connection between the frame and its axis bar. Total length was 60.49 m, as shown in Fig. 8.

What are the dynamic characteristics of the tracking photovoltaic support system?

Through processing and analyzing the measured modal data of the tracking photovoltaic support system with Donghua software, the dynamic characteristic parameters of the tracking photovoltaic support system could be obtained, including frequencies, vibration modes and damping ratio.

Which mounting system configuration is best for commercial photovoltaic plants?

The mounting system configuration used in the optimal layout is the one with the best levelised cost of energy efficiency, 1.09. The presented optimisation methodology can be utilised to facilitate the optimal design of commercial photovoltaic plants with single-axis trackers.
