With the introduction of the ASCE 7-10, there are two potential design principles used for calculating wind and snow loads for PV systems in the U.S. until all state building codes have transitioned to ASCE 7-10.
The influence of Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGSe) surface roughness on the photovoltaic parameters of state of the art devices is reported, highlighting the importance of the roughness
ASCE 7-16 For PV SystemsChanges in ASCE 7-22Code Development IssuesInformational ResourcesThe 2016 edition of ASCE 7 has been in effect for about three years. It has three more years remaining before the standard is superseded by ASCE 7-22. ASCE 7-16 introduced substantial increases in the component and cladding pressure coefficients used to calculate wind pressure in various wind zones. This change had a big impact on rooftoSee more on sustainableenergyaction

In this work, the reflectance, surface roughness and reflected solar beam spread were measured from various photovoltaic modules acquired from seven different manufacturers.
2.1.1.1 Design all roof-mounted, rigid PV solar panels and their securement for wind speeds and surface roughness exposures in accordance with DS 1-28, Wind Design.
A fully worked example of Ground-mounted Solar Panel Wind Load and Snow Pressure Calculation using ASCE 7-16.
In this study we will display the capabilities of the Nanovea Profilometer HS2000 with High Speed Sensor by measuring the surface roughness and geometric features of a photovoltaic cell.
The multiple layers of coating and glass protection allow for the absorption, transmittance, and reflection of light that is necessary for the photovoltaic cells to function.
These standards and best practices play an essential role in weathering and durability, including standard conditions, methods and instrumentation, accelerated testing, and service lifetime of materials systems.
