Design Methods of the Space Photovoltaic Support

In the design process of building integration photovoltaic (BIPV), the architectural design, power system design and structure design are very important. Moreover, some kinds of suitable connection are required which should meet the requirements of bearing capacity and deformation. In this paper, the connections between photovoltaic system and buildings were discussed. Then based on the 1MW HIMOER photovoltaic support in Lianyungang technical college, we selected the suitable connection, and designed the space photovoltaic support .This results are useful for the development of the BIPV.
