Application of PV Roof on Large Space Structure System

Abstract:

Future development of solar energy technology will focus on photovoltaic (PV) component. Analyzing the application of PV roof on large space structure system, this paper points out that key points of application of this technology are PV cells and roof bearing body. Besides, the discussion of what is important in structure design of PV roof shows that the calculation of Building-attached Photovoltaic roof (BAPV roof) should consider the influence of load applied on the windward side and leeward side, the synergic action of panels and supporting frames and whipping effect; while the calculation of Building-Integrated Photovoltaic roof (BIPV roof) should put bearing load on the first place and satisfy insulation work as well as waterproof work of roof. The conclusion is that the future development direction of roof is the two-in-one PV roof.
