How tilt angle and height change wind load and solar output
This interactive 3D model shows an elevated H-beam and C-channel solar structure on a single-storey rooftop, with 47 × 660 W panels (31 kWp) in landscape. Move the sliders to see how the panel tilt and front height change the wind flow, the structural load and the energy you get. Sun angles are calculated for Punjab (about 32°N). Drag the model to rotate it.

This is an indicative model for comparing options. Force figures are relative to a 10° tilt with a 4 ft front height (= 100). Every Solar Switch structure is designed for its own site, roof and wind conditions.
