Static analysis and topological optimization of photovoltaic panel support using recycled polymeric plastic

Le résumé fourni par la source

The rapid expansion of the photovoltaic solar system market has resulted in a significant increase in waste generated during installation, presenting a substantial environmental challenge.In response, the adoption of environmentally sustainable materials from various industries can play a crucial role in mitigating the effects of the ongoing climate crisis.This study explores the use of plastic polymer-based materials, including recycled and nanomaterials, for supporting photovoltaic solar panels.A preliminary structural design was subjected to static analysis, which facilitated the identification of a mechanically appropriate material for topological optimization.This optimization process led to a reduction in material usage and the proposal of three alternative support models.Among these, structures featuring hexagonal perforations demonstrated enhanced mechanical properties, achieving a mass reduction of up to 17.89%.The results of this study underscore the potential for incorporating recycled materials in the design of structural supports for photovoltaic solar panels, offering a viable pathway toward more sustainable photovoltaic infrastructure.
