Solar photovoltaic structures are affected by many kinds of loads such as static loads and wind loads. Static loads takes place when physical loads like weight or force put into it but wind loads

Size effect analysis reveals that larger panels improve load-bearing and energy dissipation capacity but exacerbate edge stress concentration and reduce overall stiffness, leading to
