Snow and Wind Load
EN1991
Design limit snow load on the ground = 2.8kN/m²
NOTE: This limit will be reduced for installations where abutments
create additional risks of drifting or falling snow.
In high snow load areas (greater than 1kN/m²) it is recommended
that a snow fence is fitted at maximum distance of 0.5m above
the collector.
The maximum wind load to be borne by the mounting structure
depends on the height and geographical area of the site among
other factors This structure must be installed in accordance with
the provisions of the EN1991 standard. Consult your official dealer
if in doubt.
