Horizontal single-axis trackers (HSATs) are susceptible to wind-induced damages, and wind loading on these solar trackers is one of the primary considerations in their design. The best way to understand these wind loads is to perform a scaled-model wind tunnel test of a small array of trackers (typically 1:30 or 1:50 scale). Wind tunnel...
