Traditional rigid photovoltaic (PV) support structures exhibit several limitations during operational deployment. Therefore, flexible PV mounting systems have been developed. These flexible PV supports, characterized by
(1) Background: As environmental issues gain more attention, switching from conventional energy has become a recurring theme. This has led to the widespread development of photovoltaic (PV) power generation
Under a PPA, the solar power producer builds, maintains, and operates a solar power system, while the consumer only pays for the electricity produced by the system. By entering into a PPA, the consumer benefits from

photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant projects, PV solar panel (SP) support structure is one of the main elements and limited numerical studies exist on PVSP ground mounting steel frames to
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.
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.
The comparison of the mode shapes of tracking photovoltaic support system measured by the FM and simulated by the FE (tilt angle = 30°). The modal test results indicated that the natural vibration frequencies of the structure remains relatively constant as the tilt angle increases.
This mounting structure is often used for residential systems. Helical piles. In sites with weak granular soils, helical piles are driven deep into the ground and attached to the PV panels. They can withstand uplift forces caused by the soil expanding or by strong winds as the helixes in the poles keep them fixed in place.
While significant progress has been made by scholars in the exploration of wind pressure distribution, pulsation characteristics, and dynamic response of tracking photovoltaic support system, there is a notable gap in the literature when it comes to modal analysis of tracking photovoltaic support system.
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 %.
