Effect of photovoltaic panel on the distribution of the external pressure coefficient for flat roofs

The article presents an assessment of the impact of photovoltaic panels on the distribution of wind pressure coefficients on a flat roof. It highlights the lack of data on this issue in the currently applicable wind standards. The analysis was conducted using AxisVM software, employing a tool based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for simulating a wind tunnel. The external pressure coefficient values were provided for the parameterised case
