6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic bracket span and load-bearing table]

What factors affect the load bearing capacity of a PV system?

The load bearing capacity of the PV system is discussed under self-weight, static wind load, snow load, and their combination. The influences of row spacing, tilt angle, initial cable force, and cable diameter on the structural characteristics are further studied.

What factors affect the bearing capacity of new cable-supported photovoltaic modules?

The pretension and diameter of the cables are the most important factors of the ultimate bearing capacity of the new cable-supported PV system, while the tilt angle and row spacing have little effect on the mechanical characteristics of the new type of cable-supported photovoltaic modules.

What are the characteristics of a cable-supported photovoltaic system?

Long span, light weight, strong load capacity, and adaptability to complex terrains. The nonlinear stiffness of the new cable-supported photovoltaic system is revealed. The failure mode of the new structure is discussed in detail. Dynamic characteristics and bearing capacity of the new structure are investigated.

What is cable-supported photovoltaic (PV)?

Cable-supported photovoltaic (PV) modules have been proposed to replace traditional beam-supported PV modules. The new system uses suspension cables to bear the loads of the PV modules and therefore has the characteristics of a long span, light weight, strong load capacity, and adaptability to complex terrains.

How does cable size affect load bearing capacity?

However, the initial force of cables and cable diameter obviously affects the load bearing capacity of the structure. When the initial cable force increases from 10 kN to 50 kN, the bearing capacity decrease by 14%. When the diameter of the cable increases from (14,16) mm to (24,32) mm, the bearing capacity increases by 272%. Table 11.

What is a supporting cable structure for PV modules?

Czaloun (2018) proposed a supporting cable structure for PV modules, which reduces the foundation to only four columns and four fundaments. These systems have the advantages of light weight, strong bearing capacity, large span, low cost, less steel consumption and applicability to complex terrain.
