Wind Actions on Flat-Roof-Mounted Photovoltaic Panels : a Comparison of Design Guidelines
Wind actions on roof-mounted solar collectors dier from those on an open range-deployment, due to turbulence and wind stream deection induced by the underlying building. As of December 2010, no construction codes in eect describes the wind loads on such structures, with the exception of the preliminary standard NVN 7250 from the Netherlands, with the latest draft released in 2007. The roofs consid
