How much is the deviation of the photovoltaic support column
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) reports that 23% of solar structure failures trace back to improper slenderness calculations. In 2021, a 50MW solar farm in Texas became an accidental dominos display when 12% of its columns buckled during a 55mph wind gust.
