Solar Panels Support Calculation: 400 O/D 700 O/D

This document provides information for calculating the required support for solar panels. It includes: 1) Dimensions and materials used for the panel structure including top and bottom chords of SHS 120x120x5.0 mm and internal members of SHS 50x50x3.0 mm. 2) Node coordinates and properties of beams and sections. 3) Load combinations analyzed including self-weight, unbalanced loads, and wind loads to calculate whole structure displacements, forces, and bending moments.
