Solar energy is one of the renewables energies that are growing more rapidly. The main loads in the tracker structure are aerodynamic loads. Due to the optimization in the structures, aeroelastic phenomena play now a significant role in their design. Wind tunnel tests have been performed in three-dimensional models of trackers. Models have been manufactured with different techniques. The results show good agreement for all the configurations tested.
