If you have an existing roof and want to add purlins to support it, there are a few options available to you. First, you can attach the purlins directly to the roof using screws or bolts. This can be a cost-effective solution, but it

[0030] figure 2 It is a flowchart of a method for arranging purlins in a photovoltaic support provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Wherein, the photovoltaic support
Because the support structure of the tracking photovoltaic support system has a long extension length and the components are D-shaped hollow steel pipes, the overall stiffness of the structure was found to be low, and the first three natural frequencies were between 2.934 and 4.921.
Key findings are as follows. Dynamic characteristics of tracking photovoltaic support systems obtained through field modal testing at various inclinations, revealing three torsional modes within the 2.9–5.0 Hz frequency range, accompanied by relatively small modal damping ratios ranging from 1.07 % to 2.99 %.
In terms of the mechanical properties of the actual components of the tracking photovoltaic support system, the bar element and shell element were used to simulate different components: beam elements were mainly used to simulate the axis bar, photovoltaic support purlins and pillars. Shell elements were used to simulate the photovoltaic panel.
The tracking photovoltaic support system consisted of 10 pillars (including 1 drive pillar), one axis bar, 11 shaft rods, 52 photovoltaic panels, 54 photovoltaic support purlins, driving devices and 9 sliding bearings, and also includes the connection between the frame and its axis bar. Total length was 60.49 m, as shown in Fig. 8.
Currently, most existing literature on tracking photovoltaic support systems mainly focuses on wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations regarding wind pressure and pulsation characteristics. There is limited research that utilizes field modal testing to obtain dynamic characteristics.
To effectively evaluate the dynamic response of tracking photovoltaic support system, it is essential to perform a tracking photovoltaic support systematic modal analysis that enables a comprehensive understanding of the inherent dynamic characteristics of the structures.
