TL;DR: In this paper, the wind load coefficients for heliostats of aspect ratios between 0.5 and 3.0 were determined, and the effect of the aspect ratio on the wind loads on the structure of a solar tracker was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the AutoR-project takes a holistic approach to reduce the cost of heliostat fields: Wireless control and energy supply enables to use smaller heliastats which need less steel per mirror area (but usually have high wiring cost).

TL;DR: In this article, the wind loads on heliostats were investigated for conditions with no or only insufficient values available in literature, and the wind load coefficients were determined for aspect ratios of the mirror plane between 0.5 and 3.0.
