Design and Analysis of the structural frame for the solar modules for flexible handling
Designing and analysing the structural frame for solar modules that allow for flexible handling requires careful consideration of both mechanical and environmental factors. Below is a step-by-step guide that outlines the design and analysis process: 1. Material Selection Aluminum Alloy: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and has good strength. Steel (Galvanized or Stainless): High strength, but heavier than aluminum. Suitable for harsh environments. Composites (e.g., Fiberglass): Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, with good flexibility, though usually more expensive. Analysis: Perform material property comparison, including tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and cost analysis. 2. Structural Frame Design Modular Structure: Design the frame in a modular fashion, allowing for easy assembly, disassembly, and reconfiguration. This enhances flexibility. Adjustable Tilt Mechanism: Incorporate an adjustable tilt mechanism to maximize solar efficiency based on sun positioning. Support
