Abstract
The design of aluminum frame for solar panels has evolved significantly in the last decade due to consistent price pressure and changes in the PV module format. The effect of these changes in the frame design has been studied through simulation in Salome, an open-source software platform. The maximum Von Misses stress has been found to occur near the frame mounting points in most cases. The Von Misses stress increases non-linearly with decrease in the frame height and thickness. Increasing the number of ribs will decrease the stress in the frame under loading. Use of rectangular washers is not recommended due to the almost 25% increase in stress near the corner area as compared to circular washers.
