Most previous studies have focused on wind effects on the ground- and roof-mounted PV panels, while limited attention has been given to conditions specific to hilly terrains. To address this
The long-span flexible photovoltaic (PV) structure is a key solution to the challenges in “PV+” development. However, its characteristics—long span, light weight, low stiffness, and high
Because the PV panel has two surfaces that are exposed to wind flow, the wind load on the panel will be produced by a combination of the wind blowing over the top surface and through the
The leeward side is prone to forming larger vortices, increasing the fatigue and damage risk of the material, which significantly impacts the solar photovoltaic panel. As the installation angle
This guide covers wind load calculations for both rooftop-mounted PV systems and ground-mounted solar arrays, explaining the differences between ASCE 7-16 and ASCE 7-22, the applicable sections,

Pressure coefficients, force (or area-averaged pressure) coefficients and comparisons of local and force coefficient values are presented while the effect of panel inclination, building height,
An outlet boundary condition with vanishing pressure was assumed for the back side (dark blue). Ultimately, an inlet with a specified wind speed from DIN EN 1991-1-4 type 2, was assumed on
The findings indicated that a bottom-flow blockage significantly enhanced the maximum wind suction on the PV panel, hence decreasing the
Based on the CFD simulations, the PV module with the highest wind pressure is identified and both the average and the maximum wind pressure on the front and rear are evaluated. The difference
