Abstract
A folding solar power system is a stand-alone system and is a structure with solar panels attached. It consists of supporting parts and folding parts for ease of movement. While the efficiency of solar panels is also important to produce electricity by maximizing the power efficiency of solar panels, the most important thing is structure stability. The folding solar power structure intended to be developed in this study is a collapsible structure that is easy to move and install into systems that can produce electricity from grid to independent. Since these structures are installed outdoors, wind loads, snow cover, etc. In this paper, the wind loads most affected by the folding solar power generation structure were obtained using the MeshFree Finite Element Method. MeshFree is a program that makes it easier for users to interpret by simplifying the mesh tasks required by an existing analysis. The analysis showed that the greater the angle of inclination of the wind to the ground, the greater the wind load. In addition, reliability was ensured by wind load testing.
