Flexible photovoltaic (PV) support systems, referring to cable-supported structural systems that carry conventional rigid PV modules rather than flexible thin-film modules, have attracted increasing attention as a promising solution for photovoltaic construction in complex terrains. Flexible photovoltaic (PV) support systems, referring to cable-supported structural systems that carry conventional rigid PV modules rather than flexible thin-film modules, have attracted increasing attention as a promising solution for photovoltaic construction in complex terrains. The flexible support photovoltaic module structure system has advantages such as large span, fast construction speed, and suitability for complex environments. However, this kind of system has the disadvantage of insufficient stiffness and weak wind resistance. In this paper, a new type of. The flexible photovoltaic support system is one of the systems that have been proposed to support photovoltaic modules with wide application potential in recent years. This kind of support system. In this paper, the mechanical behavior of a single-cable structure is introduced, and the simplified analytical formulations for internal force and displacement are deduced based on the geometric nonlinear characteristics and small strain assumption of the flexible photovoltaic supports.
