How are horizontal single-axis solar trackers distributed in photovoltaic plants?

This study presents a methodology for estimating the optimal distribution of horizontal single-axis solar trackers in photovoltaic plants. Specifically, the methodology starts with the design of the inter-row spacing to avoid shading between modules, and the determination of the operating periods for each time of the day.

Does single-axis solar tracking reduce shadows between P V modules?

In this sense, this paper presents a calculation process to determine the minimum distance between rows of modules of a P V plant with single-axis solar tracking that minimises the effect of shadows between P V modules. These energy losses are more difficult to avoid in the early hours of the day.

How does a solar tracking system help a photovoltaic system?

Authors to whom correspondence should be addressed. Solar tracking systems enable increased efficiency of a photovoltaic system through a continuous adjustment of its position with respect to the sun, thus increasing the generation of electrical energy.

How is the packing algorithm used for photovoltaic modules?

The packing algorithm used Geo-spatial data from satellite images to determine the U T M coordinates of the available land area for the installation of the photovoltaic modules. For this purpose, the Q G I S software, an open-source geographic information system software, has been used.

How are fixed tilt angle mounting systems optimally packaged?

In the work presented by , fixed tilt angle mounting systems were optimally packaged by calculating their optimum tilt angle, whereas the present work deals with single-axis trackers. In this case the problem consists in the maximisation of total P V modules area, choosing the position of the solar trackers on a large area of land.

Which mounting system configuration is best for granjera photovoltaic power plant?

The optimal layout of the mounting systems could increase the amount of energy captured by 91.18% in relation to the current of Granjera photovoltaic power plant. The mounting system configuration used in the optimal layout is the one with the best levelised cost of energy efficiency, 1.09.
