Recently, many countries in the northern hemisphere have experienced heavey snow, and the world seems to have made an appointment to snow together. But snow is not necessarily a good thing for PV power plant. In a sustained low temperature environment, if the snow cannot be cleared in time, it is easy to form ice, which will not only seriously affect the power generation efficiency, and it is very likely to cause unpredictable damage to modules.

The use of guaranteed quality wind and snow resistant mounting systems will not only help increase the power generation of PV power plant, reduce operation and maintenance workload and costs, but most importantly, protect the safe operation of the power plant.

What is snow load

Snow load is an architectural term that refers to the calculated snow pressure acting on the top surface of a building or structure. The snow load on the roofs of general industrial and civil buildings is caused by snow and is a spontaneous meteorological load. The size of the snow load value mainly depends on the amount of snowfall in each region based on meteorological data, the roof form, the geometric size of the building, and the normal use of the building.

At present, the snow load value generally accounts for 10%-30% of the self-weight of the entire roof structure. Such a large snow load often causes large deformation of various roof structures, especially in cold and snowy areas. After heavy snowfall, the roof structure will be deformed. The structure not only produces large residual deformations, but sometimes also suffers structural damage. It is more serious in the low recesses of the roof. Due to the accumulation of snow, large overloads are formed in local areas, and the safety of general roof structures is low. Therefore, when carrying out structural design, caution should be taken and the snow load value should be properly handled.

Before designing a distributed rooftop photovoltaic power station, it is necessary to carefully calculate the limit values of the roof's dead load and wind and snow load to avoid roof collapse and threaten the safety of people in the building and property losses.
