The structural design consists of long-spanned module mounting system where column to column member along the table-length is replaced by a pre-tensioned cable. The columns are placed at spans longer than conventional MMS – 10m. A Modular assembly referred to as the ““purlin-pod” supports the panels and is mounted on to the wire ropes. There is a tie-down anchor at each end of the table, inclined to the ground. The system can be executed in variable spans, from a minimum of 50m to maximum of 150m.

Another solar project included the design of a truss-type module mounting system, in which the solar panels are supported by a steel truss structure, as illustrated in the figure above. The images below depict the FE model of cold-formed steel purlins, featuring its intricate U-bolt connection and the application of wind loading on the purlins.
