As an importance of new and renewable energy increases, scientists are actively studying photovoltaic system. Nevertheless solar collector, an important part of photovoltaic systems, has been ignored by people. Even though there is need of study to make up for the weak points. Solar collectors, which is installed on house surface usually roof, are easily effected by wind but wind pressures of solar collector are not included in KBC2009. Therefor, we made solar collector model and conducted on wind pressure test in wind tunnel facility and investigated how the model is being effected by four seasons at two different places such as roof and ground. Based on these results, basic wind pressure distribution of the solar collector module is provided. This can be useful data for the wind resistant design of solar collector module.
