Abstract

As a clean energy source, solar energy has been mainly applied to solar power generation with broad application prospects. Due to the present tense situation of land use, solar power generation generally resorts to the existing buildings for the power generation-building integration. For the buildings with newly added photovoltaic power generation equipment, whether the existing buildings meet the relevant bearing capacity requirements after the addition of equipment loads should be checked. The load calculation for photovoltaic power generation equipment has not been specially expounded in any national code. Therefore, the design standards used are varied. In this study, a relatively conventional load calculation method and an evaluation method for buildings’ bearing capacity were proposed after comparing the calculation results by reference to domestic (Chinese) and foreign existing design experience and relevant codes currently in force.
