OUTER TRACKERS INNER TRACKERS

Max. Pressure Max. Pressure
811 Pa - Max Downlift
-724 Pa - Max Uplift

Notes:
- It is considered than two outer rows protects the inner rows according to E-W
wind incidence direction, and one outer row protects the inner trackers in N-S wind
direction
- Wind loads are calculated in the worst position scenary and the analisys is
separately performed for uplift and downlift

- Wind pressure coeficients have been validated by specific Wind Tunel Test results
performed by Ruscheweyh Consult GmbH for Nclave
