During the dimensioning stage of the embodiment
design process of the azimuthal trackers for photovoltaic (PV)
platforms a very important step is input load calculation. Wind
load is the main load on these kinds of systems and a correct
evaluation of wind load becomes significant for dimensioning.
This paper presents results and conclusions from an
experimental study on wind loads depending on wind velocity
and functional positions of solar tracking platforms. The results
are presented as graphic diagrams and can be useful for the
improvement of actual standards on wind loads.
