Novel Photovoltaic Module Tracking Architecture

Ross Edgar, Zbigniew Stachurski, and Steve Cochard

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Concentrating photovoltaic modules need solar tracking to maintain focus. Wind forces exceed module weight and dictate tracking costs. A novel platform reduces wind loads by 20-30% and measurements reveal insolation of full-angular-range tracking.
