The PV industry has set codes and standards to ensure that solar panel installations meet the required standards for that area and are not subject to excessive ballast pressure exerted on the panels by the wind. Panels are usually mounted at least 11″ from the roof edge to reduce and prevent excessive wind loading.
Wall-mounted solar panels offer a viable alternative for UK properties with unsuitable roofs. While specific considerations regarding installation, regulations, and efficiency exist, they present an innovative way to harness solar energy, especially during winter.
There are purpose-built solutions on the market for mounting solar panels on walls. These are costly, and you need to buy them for each panel. The added cost is an important consideration. However, the advantage of these systems is that you can angle your panels more easily, as this functionality is built-in.
Aly (2016) performed a numerical study on the wind loads of ground-mounted solar panels with scales of 1:10, 1:20, and 1:50 and the results were compared with available wind tunnel data.
North American (ASCE (ASCE 7-16, 2016) and NBCC (NBCC, 2015)), Californian (SEAOC (SEAOCPV2, 2017)) and Australian/New Zealand (AS/NZS (AS/NZS 1170.2, 2011)) standards do not provide clear information for the wind load on ground-mounted solar panels, while they include the wind load for roof-mounted solar panels.
Wood et al. (2001) tested a 1:100-scale building model with flat-roof-mounted solar panels in a wind tunnel under the effects of the clearance height between the rooftop and the panel and the lateral spacing between the panels.
