Can building-integrated solar panels withstand typhoon strength wind conditions?

A coupled FSI and BES framework is proposed to evaluate the structural and energy performance of a building-integrated solar panel system under typhoon strength wind conditions. As shown in Fig. 2, the FSI approach utilises a combination of CFD and FEA tools to model the structural resilience of the building and the PV panel.

How Typhoons affect solar power?

The destructive typhoons caused economic and infrastructure damage and have left many devastated communities. The use of solar photovoltaic power is also increasing, and in the event of extended power cuts, it can provide power to the affected communities, particularly during the response and recovery periods.

Can solar power be used during a typhoon?
