An appropriate dimensioning of each component in a tracking solar system is needed to take maximum advantage of the solar panel. This work describes a methodology for the safety of a support structure of a photovoltaic panel with solar tracking, which is integrated into a graphical user interface-GUI written in Matlab®. In a very intuitive manner and through a friendly interactive visual tool, the GUI gathers the basic mechanical parameters that influence the safety factor of the structure, with the possibility to configure several operating conditions of the system. The results were compared to those found using finite element analysis-FEA with SolidWorks®.
