Do external factors influence farmers' inclination to adopt rooftop photovoltaic systems?
In contrast to prior research that primarily examined the impact of external factors, such as economic incentives (Zander, 2020), and policy support (Mundaca and Samahita, 2020), on farmers' inclination to adopt rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems, this finding surpasses this constraint by underscoring the agency of farmers in decision-making.
Do photovoltaic supports have a design load and joint connection?
Based on a typical photovoltaic support failure case, this study involved detailed research on the design load and joint connection measures of photovoltaic supports. First, the general design software SAP2000 (V22.0.0) was utilized to compare the loads in photovoltaic support structure design among Chinese, American, and European codes.
How big is China's roof area for distributed photovoltaics?
According to data from the China Academy of Building Research, the available roof area for development and construction of distributed photovoltaics is approximately 10 billion square meters, indicating a significant potential (Zuo et al., 2023).
What factors affect the load-bearing capacity of photovoltaic support structures?
The support configuration at both ends is one of the key factors affecting the load-bearing capacity of photovoltaic support structures. A brace that is too weak can exacerbate the deformation of the structure, leading to greater damage. It is necessary to avoid out-of-plane deformation by optimizing the joint connection at the end of the brace.
