Enhanced mechanical load testing of photovoltaic modules for cold and snowy climates
This study presents an adapted testing strategy for PV modules deployed in cold and snowy climates. It analyzes the mechanical stability of mini and full-size modules, focusing on mechanical load tests at low temperatures or after temperature cycles.
