Design and Analysis of an Anchoring System for Photovoltaic Facades: Structural Integration and Energy Optimization in Residential Buildings

This study describes the design and analysis of an anchoring system for photovoltaic facades for buildings. The study proposes a structurally sound and energy-efficient solution to the problem of integrating solar energy into building facades. A detailed structural analysis is performed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), demonstrating the design's ability to withstand the applied loads with a high Safety Factor (SF) and minimal deformation. The design methodology is based on the German standard VDI 2221, which develops a systematic approach from initial specifications to final design. The selection of materials is based on 6063 aluminum for the structural supports, which optimizes the structural design and contributes to the durability of the system. In addition, the evaluation of photovoltaic performance highlights the system's potential for renewable energy generation. The proposed anchoring system offers a viable way to incorporate photovoltaic systems into residential facades, highlighting the importance of integrating renewable energies into the construction sector.
