NextBillion - A WDI Publication

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will review fatigue loading from hurricane and high-wind events and their impact on solar trackers. We will review existing code requirements for solar trackers and related best practices. The panelists will highlight shortcomings of current standards and make recommendations for new requirements and testing procedures that more accurately reflect real-world data. We’ll also see some examples of test results performed under the suggested procedures.

Attendees will walk away from the webinar with an improved understanding of how best-in-class design can mitigate the risks of fatigue loading from extreme winds and how to make educated equipment choices for high-wind project sites.

pv magazine Webinar content:

• Review wind fatigue loading impact on solar projects
• Discussion of novel analysis to determine cycle quantity and amplitude of fatigue loading during a hurricane
• Consider shortcomings of current standards and proposed testing best practices for high-wind design
