Solar power is more reliable for cell tower power requirement at some locations it is not possible install solar panels. We can solve this space availability problem by placing solar panels vertically on the tower. In this study solar panels are arranged vertically one above other and tested output power from solar panels when arranged at different vertical distances with proper angle. In this paper analysis has been for the forces on the cell tower after fixing the solar panels vertically one above other with 4m spacing in the SOLID WORKS software by applying wind, gravitational and thermal forces on tower system.
