Comparative Study Between Ground Mount and Roof Mount Solar Tracker Structure

Abstract

Everyday living relies heavily on electrical energy.  In order to generate electrical energy, fossil-based fuels must be used in a variety of ways. Fossil fuels are running exhausted in the modern world. This necessitates the consideration of an alternate supply, and sustainable power resources are the best available option. Hydroelectric, wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources are all examples of sustainable power resources. Using the sun's power to generate electrical energy can be considered a major source of power since it is a renewable energy source and can contribute to large-scale power production.

Solar energy has a significant role in renewable energy resources, and it is a tremendous source of energy. Through photovoltaic cells, the sun's power can be used to generate electrical energy. Non-polluting photovoltaic cells; cost-effectiveness of the solar sector; minimal maintenance expenses; a reliable source; and no moving parts.

In publish paper we are analysing the ground mount tracker and roof mount tracker for worst wind load and other load combination. We are analysing the wind effect on ground mount and roof mount trackers. Analysis depends on the various factors like Tilt angles, Surrounding structures, Shape of building, Height of surrounding structures and pitch distance etc. This research will help future generation to understand the Ground mount and roof mount tracker effect on the ground and roof slab. They need further investigation for different condition like irregularities of buildings, Material, type of roof, Location and inclination of PV panel etc.
