pv magazine Webinar | Choose the right direction: Designing for wind directionality and extreme weather for solar assets

Solar facilities are faced with various weather-related risks that can cause severe damage to a project’s components and get in the way of a desirable return-on-investment. Scott Van Pelt, chief engineer at solar tracking provider GameChange Solar, and Yarrow Fewless, principal at CPP Wind Engineering, will compare and contrast extreme weather damage mitigation strategies for single-axis tracker mounted solar projects.

This pv magazine Webinar will address solar project risks related to high winds, hail, snow, and flooding conditions. It will walk through advantages and disadvantages among stow strategies, enabling asset owners to make an informed decision on how to protect their assets.

The webinar will review potential risks of certain project design assumptions currently used in the industry. Panelists will review performance and safety considerations when selecting a tracker provider and will offer other ways to mitigate risk beyond tracker selection.

pv magazine Webinar content:
