In this paper, we mainly consider the parametric analysis of the disturbance of the flexible photovoltaic (PV) support structure under two kinds of wind loads, namely, mean wind load and fluctuating wind load, to reduce the wind-induced damage of the flexible PV . . of the flexible PV modules support structures. In this study, wind-induced response and critical wind velocity of a 33-m-span flexible PV support structure was experimentally studied by using a on-contact video displacement measuring system. For instance, a PV system monitoring study was presented by (Firth et al., 2010 ), where a loss of annual ene gy of 18. eral limitations during operational deployment. Therefore,f exible PV mounting. . Flexible photovoltaic (PV) support systems have low stiffness, low damping, and may suffer from aerodynamic instability, especially fluttering, under wind loads. Furthermore, power degradation occurred as a result of several failures that directly impacted and reduced shunt resistance, including solde ing defects, microcracks. .
