The solar support or mounting frame that holds and aligns the photovoltaic panels is an essential component for the efficient operation of PV systems. Historically, metals and alloys have been used to construct these supports; however, recent research on polymer-based designs has opened new avenues for developing solar energy infrastructure .
Classification of Support Systems for Photovoltaic Solar Panels Photovoltaic solar panel support systems are primarily classified based on their installation location: Roof-Mounted Systems [85, 86]: These are the most common and utilize existing building rooftops.
Additionally, SAP2000 was used to analyze the load-bearing capacity and deformation of the photovoltaic supports. The finite element analysis (FEA) software ABAQUS (V6.14-5) was used to analyze the impact of different component connection designs on the deformation of photovoltaic supports.
As prices of photovoltaic (PV) modules and related electronics have dropped significantly, the structural mounting system now accounts for an important share of the total system. The most common problems in photovoltaic mounting system structures include several factors affecting their performance and durability.
