Abstract

This paper aim to analyze the exerted pressions by the  wind  on  photovoltaic  panels  installed  on  rooftops  as  well  as perform  analysis  of  tensions  and  deformations  ofsupporting aluminum   structures   for   photovoltaic   panels.   Computational simulations are performed in order to save time and obtaining the best  solution.  The  wind  intensity  and  directions  exert  pressures on the photovoltaic installation and its support structure resulting on  the  concentration  of  tensions  on  the  fixing  points on  both structural components and roof’s attachmentpoints. the generator.
