EPC ALERT: SOLAR FARMS STUDIES TENDENCY
With reference to energy generation, the global society has to urgently address three factors that are now critical:
- Sustainability in terms of climate change.
- Security in terms of the war that is currently raging in many places with consequences that are being felt around the globe and the steep incline of fossil-fuel based energy costs.
- Around the world, large-scale solar farms are being constructed with tracking systems to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) modules.
The literature is showing often articles presenting a comparison of energy generation of Tracking vs fixed solar rack mounting for PV modules. Many of these analysis has been based on long term (up to 20 years) dataset comparing different locations worldwide where much of them differ in terms of latitude, sky clarity and ambient temperature.
Despite all the variables mentioned above It was demonstrated that a fixed-slope system facing the equator provides a healthy energy receipt that is a high fraction of the energy receipt of a tracking system meanwhile the cost difference using both methods is very significant favoring fixed installations and making tracking systems harder to justify.
Furthermore, analysis was also carried out for PV facilities that have hosted larger solar farms to conclude that regardless of the solar farm installation location, the use of bi-facial PV provides more benefits than using tracking systems and with less failure rate.
In our organization and using our manufacturing and marketing method named Integration Coefficient IC, we are in tune of all these tendencies to provide the most updated and economically better justified technologies as the proper solutions for customers.
