Quick question for any wind professionals out there.
I am looking to install 16 4 rows and 4 columns solar panels with a QBase from iron ridge with the xr1000 rails.
Best wind management? 2 options
1. One piece completely flat with a 8 inch space underneath the solar and the concrete roof; all 16 solar panels connected to each other? I feel as if this will allow the wind to get under the panels and cause more pressure on the bottom of the 16 panels?
2. Or 4 inch tilt per row (4 panels each row connected to each other with 2 XRrails which will allow wind to move through each row? Independently.
4 solar panels connected in each row with 2 XR rails together X 4 rows.
Sun shade moves so I’m not worried about that. Both would work with the same efficiency.
Any knowledge on this?
