Abstract: A solar system is provided and includes a solar array and a support structure configured to support the solar array. The support structure includes structural beam which includes an upper plate, a lower plate that is disposed opposite to the upper plate, a first side plate interposed between the upper and lower plates, and a second side plate interposed between the upper and lower plates and spaced apart from the first side plate. Each of the upper and lower plates is fixedly coupled to the first and second plates by a plurality of joints formed by clinching.

Abstract: Methods and systems of managing dynamic response to wind in a solar tracker system are provided. The method includes determining a wind speed, comparing the wind speed to a predetermined threshold value to determine if the wind speed equals or exceeds the predetermined threshold, positioning a windward most solar tracker to a predetermined angle based on the comparing, and positioning a leeward most solar tracker to the predetermined angle based on the comparing. The solar trackers are positioned at the predetermined angle at a predetermined interval starting at the windward most solar tracker and the remaining solar trackers remain in a normal operating condition.
