6 FAQs about [Are rooftop photovoltaic panels wind-resistant Zhihu]

Do roof-mounted PV panels have a wind flow mechanism?

The wind flow mechanism related to the wind loads of the roof-mounted PV array was researched by Kopp et al. (2012) taking into consideration of two panel tilt angles. A wind tunnel experiment conducted by Cao et al. (2013) evaluates the wind loads on PV panels located on a flat roof.

Does roof height affect wind load of solar panels?

Stathopoulos et al (2014) studied wind effect on solar panels mounted on the roofs of 7 m and 16 m high buildings, and it was found that height of building has little effects on wind load of panels.
