Photovoltaic panel purlin installation interval

Most installers swear by the 1/4-1/3 rule - spacing purlins at 25-33% of panel length. But wait, that's like saying "cook chicken at some temperature. Try this on for size: Optimal Spacing (in) = (Panel Length / 3) + (Wind Zone Factor × 2) - (Snow L...
