Abstract
The aerodynamic characteristics of multiple arranged photovoltaic arrays are investigated in terms of inflow turbulence by wind tunnel test. Conical vortices are strongly generated only in the smooth flow when wind direction is inclined by 30 degrees with the North. Conical vortices cause low pressure area on upper surfaces of photovoltaic arrays, then wind pressure coefficient comes up by comparison with in the turbulent flow.
