1 GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE

The scope of this design basis report (DBR) is intended to cover the design of solar module mounting
structures for multiple project site located in Maharashtra.

1.2 WIND SPEED

As per IS:875 Part-3 the wind speed considered for the project location is 44m/s.

1.3 MODULE MOUNTING STRUCTURE

MMS table size of 2x30 and 2X15 with 2 modules in Portrait orientation inclined towards south at 15deg fixed
tilting.

2 LOADS AND LOAD COMBINATIONS

2.1 DEAD LOADS

Dead load consists of the weight of the structure, solar modules, fasteners, etc.

Module Weight = 36.8 kg

2.2 WIND LOADS

All structures shall be designed for wind forces in accordance with IS:875(part-3) and as specified in this
document. The evaluation of the design wind speed and pressure will be made on the basis of the following
parameters:

Wind loads at 15 deg position.

Basic wind speed = 44 m/s

Probability factor (Risk coefficient), k1 = 0.91

Terrain category = 1

Terrain, height and structure size-based factor, k2 = 1.05

Topography factor, k3 = 1

Importance factor , k4 = 1

Wind directionality Factor , kd = 0.9

Tributary Area (A) = Column C/C Spacing X Purlin-Purlin Spacing

= 1.3 x 3 = 3.9 m2

Area averaging factor, ka = 1

Combination factor, kc = 1.0

The wind analysis shall consider the wind direction relative to the structure and both external and internal
pressure as applied to the windward and leeward sides of the structure.

Purlins are connected to Module by SS-304 bolts. These bolts are primarily in tension and hence shear forces
are negligible.
