As the adoption of photovoltaic (PV) systems increases globally, engineers are challenged to design support structures that are not only efficient and durable but also adaptable to a variety of environmental conditions. . Several design approaches of the supporting structures have been presented in order to achieve the maximum overall efficiency. They are loaded mainly by aerodynamic forces. International regulations as well as the competition between industries define that they must withstand the enormous loads. . Solar photovoltaic modules are where the electricity gets generated, but are only one of the many parts in a complete photovoltaic (PV) system. In order for the generated electricity to be useful in a home or business, a number of other technologies must be in place. As solar installations grow 23% year-over-year (2023 Gartner Emerging Tech Report), engineers face mounting pressure to optimize these critical structural components.
