Recently, solar power generation attracted attention among natural energy. There are various design methods for the steel structure on which solar panels are mounted. When we examine the strength and rigidity of photovoltaic system, we use beam model in FEM analysis. Therefore, we focused on snow load, which is one of design loads in this research. By comparing the experiment with the analysis and evaluating the buckling caused by the snow load. And we report on FEM model of the joint part which is the cause of buckling.
