This paper proposes a comprehensive structural conversion methodology that enhances load-bearing capacity through three synergistic modifications: triangular truss reinforcement, longitudinal beam installation, and purlin elevation optimization. Structural Assessment and Load. . When a large building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) panel is subjected to surface loading, due to the small thickness and large span of the building pane, the high transverse deflection often becomes the control factor in the structural design. To reduce the deflection, thick glass sheets are. . A mechanical model is built to describe the bending behaviour of the double glass PV panel under uniformly distributed force, and then, the deflections of whole panel with two different boundary conditions are solved. The solar panel mounting structure is usually made of mild steel or aluminum. . Existing industrial facilities present unique challenges for solar panel integration due to structural limitations not originally designed for distributed renewable energy systems. Understanding beam deflection is essential for ensuring safety, stability, and performance in a myriad of construction and engineering applications. The analysis can be split in the following steps. Load calculation, which includes the creation of a simple CFD model using ANSA as pre-processor and ANSYS-CFX as solver to determine the. .
